A gift basket has a short life if it is only packaging. This one is designed to be kept. It is small, useful and plain enough to live on a desk or a windowsill once the gift inside has been unwrapped.
A quick, tidy weave
Because the basket is small, the weave can be tight and regular in a way that is hard to manage on a large piece. Each one takes about forty minutes. The rim is folded down and locked with a single tucked strip, so there is no visible knot anywhere.
- A bar of soap and a flannel
- Seed packets for a gardener
- A small jar of honey or jam
- Chocolates and a folded note
