I bought one of these baskets at the Ethnic Fest years ago, and it was well worth the price!
When it is ready for a guest, I'll put in exotic teas (in plastic bags), Lorna Doone cookies (because they are cute), Seattle Chocolates (because the packaging is beautiful), some relaxing nature tapes that my son recorded, and some old magazines - B & W (Black and White Photography), Maison Cote Sud, Cote Est, and Cote Quest (all in French, but the photos are great).
But currently, the guest room is occupied. My son has taken the basket and put a small pillow there. I see cat fur poking through the basket weaving...
