Need your input?

I would like to know what kind of gift basket you would like to recieve and/or buy for someone else. I need unique ideas. Something that you would not normally see in a store or online.
--------------------
Well, you could make one yourself, and if that's the case, here are some ideas: Small samples of good coffees and teas with a mug... also chocolate covered coffee beans, covered fruits, and nuts... you could include biscottis, scone mix, jams and jellies (small jars of a GOOD brand like from william's sonoma)... Or, you could do fresh fruit, small breads or bagels, smoked salmon, dried fruit, cold tea bags (boca java sells them in CUTE tins and really handsome glass jars), and maybe even a gift card to a store like william's sonoma or crate and barrel. You could do a pasta basket-a pasta strainer spoon (those spoons with the teeth sticking up to pull spaghetti out of the water), jar of excellent sauce, a very good pasta, a kitchen apron, some good wine (red wine), and a nice bread... You could do a gift card basket with $15-$25 gift cards for places like jamba juice, crate and barrel, target, or any favorite places that don't require tons of money... A basket with favorite lotions, body washes, bath salts, and maybe an Ulta card would be wonderful. Also, gauge it on the person you're giving it to. Think hard about something they are REALLY interested in. Even a basket with things like books, magazines/subscriptions, journal, pens, etc... it's just got to be personalized. That is so special... EDIT: One thing we got for Christmas that was so cute: A metal popcorn bowl filled with candy, microwave popcorn, blockbuster gift card and two DVDs. That was FUN!
