Great Gift Baskets.

Are you a gift person?  I am.  It’s my language of love, or some such business.  It means that when people give me presents, I feel loved.  It can be as simple as a People Magazine or a new Meg Cabot book along with a cold Diet Dr. Pepper, and I’m yours for life.

Truly.

So, when I got this gift basket in the mail this week, I almost plotzed.

This gift basket from Fond Times is filled to the brim with chocolatey heaven and all kinds of other delicious confections.  Ghirardelli chocolates, smoked almonds, peppermint flavored popcorn, you name it.  It’s called the VIP Gourmet gift basket because it’s made for VIP’s like yourself.
