Wine and Cheese Gifts A Hit

Boy could you go on for long time about cheese. The French think that the more stinky the better the cheese. Business people think that to succeed you need to realize that your cheese might get moved. Kids grew up with the stinky cheese man. Farmers know that if they can't sell their milk to a grade A dairy they can always sell it as grade B and it will be made into cheese. Wow that is a lot of Discussion about cheese without really saying anything. Cheese comes in so many varieties it is hard to keep up. I understand that there are people that are as snooty about cheese as there are about wine. I have grown quite fond of cheese over the years. I even have learned to like goat cheese.

Basketsbyrita's recent undertaking is to seek out great cheese that is shelf stable so we can ship it for you in a gift basket. Basketsbyrita offers a cheese basket, a fruit and cheese basket, a wine and cheese basket and of course gourmet baskets which all have cheese in them. We offer everything from a smoked pepper cheese to a smooth mild Havarti cheese. The selections are endless so we are working hard to offer them all. Our latest offering is a beer cheese for our beer gift baskets.

So don't let the stinky cheese man steel your cheese and if he moves it stay at it until you find it and cut it share with your farmer friends okay!

Gifts for a Healthy Mother's Day

If you have been watching the calendar you know that Mother’s day is right around the corner.  Mother's Day is this Sunday , May 9th, 2010, which means that you still have time to find the ideal gift for Mom. Perhaps you are looking to buying for your wife if you have children that ideal  gift to thank her for being such a great Mother.

The origin of Mother’s day goes back to 1907 when  Anna M. Jarvis, a Philadelphia school teacher (1864-1948), began a movement to set up a national Mother's Day to credit of her mother, Ann Maria Reeves Jarvis. She sought the help of hundreds of legislators and leading businessmen to dedicate a special day to honor all mothers. The first Mother's Day observance was a church service honoring Anna's mother. Anna handed out her mother's favorite flowers, the white carnations, on the occasion as they represent sweetness, purity, and patience. Anna's hard work finally paid off in the year 1914, when President Woodrow Wilson decreed the second Sunday in May as a national holiday in honor of mothers.

This year is expected to be the largest in terms of those opting to shop online for mothers day. A lot people live a huge distance from their mother so shopping online makes ideal sense. Another reason is the selection is perfect and the convenience is hard to beat.
Research in 2006 concluded that 35% of the adult population chose chocolates and spa bath products to send to their mothers for Mothers Day as the most popular gift, over flowers and plants, by some margin. I think that is has to do with the people being more practical and the desire to give mom something that will last and that gives her some extra pleasure. There are some superb? dark chocolates and healthy snack out there that don’t come with too many calories and contain some added  health benefits.

With that in mind we have made some suggestions below to assist with Mothers Day and help you chose what to buy that special mother in your life on the one day of the year specifically for your Mother where you can thank her and show her you care.
