A few years ago, a former coworker received a cookie gift basket from her daughter for her 60th birthday. Everyone in the office had something to say about it, it was so cute! I never got around to asking her where her daughter ordered it from, but I was recently searching online for gift baskets and found them at DelightfulDeliveries.com. The site was recently recognized by Hot 100 as being among the best in the nation for the coming year. Here’s their press release:

I was browsing their easy-to-use site, and they don’t just feature cookie baskets. They offer chocolate baskets, fruit baskets, gourmet food baskets, floral arrangements, a variety of gift towers, and baked goods as well. The “It’s a Boy” cookie basket is adorable, but then so is the lollipop basket. My friend is a lover of all things chocolate, so maybe the Box of Treats is a better option, and she can use the box in the baby’s nursery. They've got plenty of options for other ocassions too, like the Snowman Tower, the mouth-watering Dancing Deer Black Forest Cake, the Over the Hill Birthday Colossal Cookie, and the Organic Fruit Banquet for the health-conscious folk. They feature popular brands like Mrs. Fields, Ghirardelli's, Starbucks and many others.
So many cute choices. I guess I’ve still got plenty of time to decide. I've got to go get a snack now. Suddenly, I'm craving something sweet...
