Let’s Talk About Gift Baskets

Over the holidays, I received two chocolate gift baskets. The first one I won in a draw at our company holiday gathering. The second one was gifted to us by our next door neighbour.

While I admire how beautiful they look and the time it took to put them together, they are absolute torture to deconstruct. Multiple layers of tape and rubber cement make it quite challenging. I’m sure it must be easier to get into Fort Knox than it is to deconstruct these things!

In total it took me about an hour to get the two of them apart. And the funny thing is I’m not a real fan of chocolate. I kept one item out of the first basket and the rest I gave away. I will likely take most of the second one to work to ‘share’ with my co-workers. I'm sure that they will be more than happy to indulge in them. *smile*
