Put All Your Thanks in One Basket
By Jessica Norman

Next time you’re the guest, don’t show up empty-handed. Put your entertaining skills to the test and think outside the gift box. Bring this simple yet thoughtful thank-you present and secure yourself a second invitation.

Your hostess probably slaved away at cooking, cleaning and decorating, so she’ll be grateful if you relieve her of breakfast duty the next day. Line a wooden or wicker basket from a craft shop with a cloth napkin and fill it with a selection of scones, croissants, muffins or bagels. Then, add a small jar of specialty jam, an array of fresh fruit and a bottle of freshly squeezed orange juice. For a special touch, throw in a bottle of sparkling wine for morning mimosas. This post-party treat is sure to please.
