Author: My mother was at the kitchen table making her list of names for Christmas. I asked her how was it coming along, and she said not good. She simply did not know what gifts to give for Christmas. I asked her why? Well, she said I already gave this and gave that on the previous years, she wanted to give something new this Christmas. Something she never gave before, but it should also be cheap Christmas gifts.
I sat down with her and started thinking of Christmas gift ideas. I suggested mugs, towels, picture frames, stuffed animals, bath and body products, ornaments, jewelry box, scented candles, pens, etc. But with no luck, she already had given those gifts and Christmas decor. We were about to give up and settle for bath towels when she looked at the fruit basket on top of the counter, she smiled and said “I got it”. We stood up and headed for the supermarket. My mother decided to make personalized Christmas gifts baskets for Christmas. We bought different sizes of baskets, gourmet candy, fruits, and other small items. She arranged each basket personally, placing each item according to the person’s taste. After putting the gift tag on the last basket, she stood up, stretched her arms and said, “I’m done for this Christmas”.
