How do I know if I have a Longeberger basket?

I got a basket at a thrift sale. Yesterday my stepdaughter was over and told me her mother in law sells Longeberger baskets, and she said the basket my gift came in looks like one of theirs. I browsed their on line catalog and didn't see that basket in their current line, but it could have been discontinued. Is there any way to tell? Is there some kind of mark on the basket that would let me know?
--------------------
Most of the time they will be marked on the bottom. Mine says, Longaberger Baskets HANDWOVEN Dresden OHIO USA then usually they will have a signature close to that and the year it was made

Need Ideas on home based business and or a service based business?

I am homeschooling and looking for a business I can either operate out of my home or in a small office. Need ideas on a service type business or any business for that matter, that I can operate with minimal start up cost. I thought of gift basket or event planning, but I think the market is so heavily saturated with both of these ideas its hard to get in.

What are some things to give to someone after they get their wisdom teeth out?

My boyfriend is having his wisdom teeth removed on Monday. I want to make him a gift basket or something and bring it over to him on Tuesday. What are some things I can include?
--------------------
Ice Cream! My friend gave me that after they took out my wisdom teeth! You can't really eat after you get your wisdom teeth removed, so you can't really eat anything so maybe take him chicken soup, jello, yogurt and ice cream :)

Gift for a senile woman?

I don't know what to get my great-aunt. I don't want to get her any framed pictures of family as she won't remember them, or it might upset her. She has plenty of material things and doesn't really need anything. I thought about making her a gift basket full of food, but her diet is restricted. Any good ideas as to what to get her this Christmas?
--------------------
how about some crossworks puzzles or word searches. Those are supposed to be good for keeping your mind active. Food is a good choice to if you can find out what she likes and can have.

food gift basket for boyfriend?

i want to do cute things like sweat tarts because your my sweat heart.. apple because you are the apple to my eye.. things like that, id like ideas please?
--------------------
as a guy food is always a good idea. :) although I would recommend finding out what he likes, i don't particularly care for candy myself. I also wouldn't recommend going out of your way too far on the food analogies, one or two is fine, eight would probably come off as creepy. It would also be good to give him something useful, if he works out a lot throw in some protien bars, if he is a big meat eater maybe add beef jerky, if you know he loves peanut butter throw in reeses cups. Make it personal, not just themed.

I am making my daughters daycare teachers a 4th of July ice cream basket. I am going to give them $5 to buy some ice cream but I can't decide if I should put it on a gift card or if I should just give the cash since it is only $5. Which idea do you like? Do you think $5 is enough? Thanks

What to get my boyfriends parents for xmas?

My boyfriend and I have been together for about 6 months. I am going to get his parents something for Xmas but have no idea what to get and the boyfriend is no help. I'm thinking just a gift basket with a bunch of random stuff. All I can think of so far is sausage and cheese and maybe a gift card for somewhere out to eat. Any other suggestions? I'm on a budget as well. Thanks!
--------------------
I was in your same situation. If you go to Cheryll and Company website they have gift packages of chocolate, nuts, brownies all different mixes of delcious treats. They range from 15 dollars and up plus shipping. They wrap them beautifully and it's a nice gift to give to his parents. Especially since you haven't been dating that long.

How should a nonprofit organization handle the taxability of raffle prizes to the winners?

Is the prize reported at fair market value minus the price of the ticket on a 1099? Also, if the prize is a package of items, like a gift basket, could the winner refuse some of the items and not pay taxes on the items refused?
--------------------
The prize is reported at fair market value. Issue the 1099MISC to the winner in that amount. It is up to you if you will allow the winner to accept only part of the prize. You can require that the winner accept the entire prize, or if they refuse, you will not award the prize, or will award the prize to an alternate winner. If you choose to allow the winner to accept only part of the prize, then you would issue the 1099MISC for the fair market value of the prize accepted.

How can my lil sis and I make a sun catcher mobile?

We're trying to put together a gift basket for her little friends and I'm not very crafty but I want to help her. What's the easiest way you have found to make a special suncatcher mobile?
--------------------
Take a plastic bottle of any size and cut circles about a 1/4 inch thick around the bottle. An old javex bottle would make about 10 to 12 rings. Wrap a piece of cling wrap over the ring and push another ring over it to hold the film firmly. Your lil sis can then draw objects and paint them. When done, glue them onto the film. Poke small holes through the ring and tie them together to form any shape you desire. A straight run of three or four, or one at the top. then two below, followed three, etc. Most importantly, have fun with your lil sis..

What is a good way to tell somebody they stink without hurting their feelings?

I don't wanna hear the usual buy them a gift basket or tell them 2 try a new perfume or something. Some really nice stuff.
--------------------
There is no "good" way. But, you can slip it in the conversation with this person. Something like: "..........you know, don't you find it obnoxious that some people do not use deodarant or (do they brush their teeth, or did they take shower or something that bothers you). I wonder what you will do if you meet such a person......? Geesh, some people lack societal norms........." and leave it at that. I bet you bottom dollar that after you move away from that person, he/she will be checking their underarm odor or their breath or whatever you told them.

How can I make a flavored liquor at home?

I'm making a gift basket with breakfast-themed alcohol. It's kind of a joke. Anyway. I have bacon-flavored and orange-flavored vodkas infusing in my kitchen cabinets right now. But I need something to occupy the pancake/french toast spot. I was thinking maple and/or pecan whisky would be good. Can anyone help me out with a recipe?
--------------------
Two books that helped me "Infused" and "Cordials From Your Kitchen" They have great recipes.

What was the best gift you got for the new baby?

So, I am trying to come up with a superb new baby gift for my cousin. (Perhaps with the theme 08-08-08 because the baby was born today!) Anyways... I remember my favorite gift was a clothes basket filled with all sorts of different things you need for a baby. I was wondering what kind of cool gifts you have gotten and/or suggestions. (The baby is a girl!)
--------------------
My favorite was also a basket filled with things, I found that it was a huge help to have a stock up on diapers, wipes, shampoo, baby wash, powder, lotion, tylenol, mylicon drops, files and clippers, nose suctioner lol, therometer,...yeah basically all the little things that you wont know you need them..until YOU NEED THEM lol and running to the store is the last thing you want to do. I just found it SO helpful to not have to go out and buy things right in the middle of me learning how to be a Mommy LOL-my family got me a ton of things..I was SO thankful! The diaper champ works GREAT too. It's in my room, because me and my son share a room and I cant smell a thing! My son really loves this blanket that I got him from Babies R Us, it is soft on one side and the other, is silky...He LOVES it. It's his nighttime blanket lol
