And we finish our week of personal gifts with a basket to someone who moves back or moves to an area. The sister of my leader of my women's group at church was moving back to the area. I wanted to make her a little something. I thought a Welcome Home Basket would be perfect. Since we live in Seattle I thought why not put together a basket of things about Seattle. We are known for some great coffee so I went on a hunt for coffee. Then I went and picked up some Almond Roca, it is made right here in Tacoma. And of course I needed a sweet treat to put in the bin. I made some scones that are famous at the Western State (Puyallup) Fair - The recipe will come soon!
What you Need (this is for Seattle - Make if for the City you want)
- Starbucks Drink Packets
- Seattle's Best Coffee
- Tully's Coffee (McDreamy bought it a while back)
- Almond Roca
- Homemade Puyallup Fair Scones
- Bin
- Card Stock for a Logo if you want
You can make this for any city/state you want. Find the things that make that city special. We are of course known for Coffee so that was the main theme of my basket. I could have thrown in some apples too :). I was going to make a logo but I found this Taste of Seattle one that I printed on Card Stock and sprayed with glue and attached to the basket. Have fun with it and you can bring a smile to someone's face!
Don't forget to see the parties I link up to HERE.
Oh what a great idea. I could totally put a Boston one together!
