At home spa treatment AAH!

A long week of work and courses makes me ready to sit back and take it easy as soon as the weekend arrives. But we all know that the probability of me getting a weekend full of spa like services and peace and quiet is not really probable. Though I’m not working I usually wind up with a number of errands that’s stacked up throughout the week, a house to clean, and a heap of other miscellaneous projects that creep themselves into my life somehow. While I might be able to talk someone into giving me a five minute back rub, I don’t think I’ll have time for a facial and a massage. In this world where we live such fast paced lives, it is almost impossible to sneak away for an hour or two let alone a whole day to just put aside our crazy lives and spend some ‘me’ time. While I can perhaps add in a trip to the tanning salon or a waxing appointment once a month, it’s by no means enough to help me feel like I’ve truly treated myself. When a holiday or a birthday comes around and someone asks me what I want, the first thing that comes to mind is “gift cards” or “a new can opener.” Although these may be wise presents, they are necessities and buying these essentials doesn’t require much sympathy. candle and bath basketA present should be a thing you want, not a thing you need. Sometimes we forget our own merit and we need a friend to come in and remind us to take some time for our self. A gift should persuade you to take care of yourself, not help you run yourself further into the ground. Although I can say I wouldn’t have much spare time to arrange a spa appointment even if I received a gift card, I know a few home remedies that will do the trick almost as well. When I find a friend has been working too much and needs a some love, I order them a spa basket from Baskets By Rita to tell them to take a bit of time for their self. Baskets By Rita loads their baskets full of high quality spa products for an all inclusive, at home full spa treatment.

Give the Gift of Fine Wine and Cheese Gift Baskets

wine and cheese gift basket
Throughout human history, wine has been a celebratory drink savored in both social and religious events and rituals. For centuries wine has been savored for luxury, festivity, and religious functions. Wine was historically thought to have healing benefits and red wine is confirmed to be good for heart health. Though not all civilizations drank wine for recreation, almost every world culture has a wine history whether used as libation or medicine. In my life, wine is appropriate for festivity, leisure, and occasionally, as medicine. This fact alone makes wine the right gift for any occasion. Whenever I need a gift when visiting a friend’s home, as a housewarming present, or in order to say “thank you,” wine is my first choice. Wine is not only a fashionable gift, but it’s easy to pair with appetizers, meals, and desserts. Enjoyed in high class society, wine pairings and tastings are a great way to network and spend time with friends. What a great occasion to socialize and learn a thing or two as well!

Recently, I found myself in charge of organizing a relatively large social event. In all the turmoil of making arrangements, I forgot to notify one of the event sponsors of a change in date. The day before the occasion, we became aware of the error when I got a phone call from the sponsor. Because of the miscommunication, they were unable to be involved in the event and had blocked time out of their schedule in vain. My initial response in apology was to send the sponsor a wine and cheese basket from Baskets By Rita. For $150 I was able to send them a basket loaded with a variety of red and white wines, cookies, an assortment of cheeses, smoked salmon, gourmet crackers, summer sausage, olives, dried fruits, caramel corn, candy, snack mix, fine chocolates, mixed nuts, and more. I felt that this would be a gift that could be shared among all of their employees and I hoped it would convey my apologies for the misunderstanding. I would suggest a Baskets By Rita wine basket for any occasion for which wine is suitable. Whether you need to say thank you, send a housewarming gift, apologize, or present a gift when visiting a friend, Baskets By Rita has the perfect wine basket which include Wine and Cheese Gift Basket for the occasion.  Our wine and cheese gift basket is  the prefect choice for that special someone. Our split willow and rope basket is filled with Rodney Strong Merlot wine, assorted cheeses, crackers, sausage, chocolate bar, mixed nuts and snack mix. Our wine and cheese gift basket is a prefect hotel welcome gift, thank you, anniversary or even a birthday.  Want a different bottle of wine just call us.  Visit their cheese basket page to see their many designs and choices.

Send Gift Basket for a Colorado Christmas

Tidings holiday healthy gift basketsAs a Colorado Native, I have had my share of snowy Christmases. I sometimes pity people who have never experienced the magnificence of snow falling outside a warm window with glimmering lights glistening off the snowy terrain. Christmas decorations always seem more becoming when laid before a snowy white setting. Although snow is not mandatory to have a cheerful Christmas, good food is a must! A number of my favorite Christmas treats are hot chocolate, peanut brittle and caramels, Christmas cookies, chocolate covered pretzels, popcorn, peppermint candies, cheese and sausage, peppermint coffee, and baked goods. The best thing about all of these treats is that even if I don’t have the time to prepare them myself, there are plenty of outstanding Colorado companies which make all these Christmas treats not far from where I reside. When I need a pick me up to get me in the Christmas mood or a quick present to take with me to a Christmas party, deliver to my friends and family out of state, or want a jolly table topper for my Christmas table, I visit www.basketsbyrita.com and order their Colorado Christmas Basket.
