Great Book!!...

I really like this book, it gives you a complete idea on how to start your gift basket shop. A really good book...

A great book of gift baskets!

This is a great book of ideas! The pictures are great and really helped me think of ways to do my own baskets. There is a wonderful section about starting your own business that I found helpful as well. The pictures were great and very creative and professional looking. This book was just what I needed!

You will Love, Love, Love this book !

The author, Sara Toliver, is a Genius! This book is so beautiful that it is a gift itself. Beautiful color photos show how to make wonderful gift baskets using everyday items from baskets to tool boxes. It teaches how to create gifts with a personal touch. It's changed the way I give gifts. Bountiful Baskets is a gift that keeps giving & giving.

Makes me want to take a trip to Utah...

If you are interested in constructing beautiful gift baskets with attention to both form and function, then clearly, this book is a must have. The author's approach to gift selection is both practical and savvy. She encourages the reader to personalize every basket by keeping in mind the recipients likes, dislikes and lifestyle. Her baskets are classy, unique and smart. If you're interested in the business end of the gift basket industry (and who wouldn't be after viewing her storefront - at the back of the book), she offers great tips and advice on getting started. More importantly, she offers a short quiz for readers who might be "on the fence" about self-employment" and she candidly explains that it is not a choice for everyone. All in all, I would have to rate this, by far, my favorite book in this genre. I own 7 books related to gift baksets. This is the one that had me drooling from the first flip of the pages. I'm not sure the author ever sleeps (read her bio). Her style is impeccable, right down to her tags and letterhead.

Full of Wonderful Ideas!

I love this book! Lots of photos to show how to put baskets together along with the suggestions of what to put in it. I have been inspired by many of the ideas it offers and have used it already in gift giving. With the holidays approaching I know I'll use it many times.
