A Basket of Gratitude

Did you know that sunflowers have many special meanings? After conducting a little research Laura and I found that sunflowers are symbolic of unwavering faith, friendship, and hope. If you have ever had the opportunity of seeing them growing in a field, you have witnessed these large, magnificent, blooms standing tall, in strong numbers for support and strength, with their faces reaching towards the sun. This could be the attraction for bringing these friendly yellow flowers into your home. They are not pompous or conceited, they are not fragile or flimsy, they are full of warmth and humble beauty that brings a smile along with the feeling that you are wrapped in a warm sunny glow. So, with this new information we were inspired to create a beautiful fall sunflower gift basket featuring several select pieces that pay homage to this friendly warm spirited flower. In our basket we have featured a collection of ceramic dishes and wood carved bowls that feature an unmistakable sunflower image along with tea towel and gold stemless wine cup ready for you to insert your favorite chardonnay or white zin. Whether creating a beautiful gift for a new home, or for setting the perfect table for guests, adding sunflowers is the perfect backdrop for creating a feeling of camaraderie and encouraging candid conversation. Themed gift baskets can be a perfect way to convey your thoughts and feelings toward loved ones, neighbors, and great friends. As we enter a season of gratitude, (We are so grateful fall is here!) we suggest starting your month by creating a custom basket. If you are part of a community that supports, values, and celebrates people, we want to hear about them! A special thank you for hanging in there during the toughest 18 months you have ever had to face, or a symbolic fresh start that launches 18 months of renewed faith and hope for the future, is all the inspiration needed to come by to create a very special themed basket of your own! Whether sunflowers, succulents, or chickens with harmonicas, there is something for everyone and a way to say it that brings a smile!
