Each basket contains:

  • One jar of lemon dishwasher tablets
  • One jar of mint toothpaste
  • One jar of brown sugar facial scrub
  • Two bars of mildly scented pink grapefruit soap
  • Two peppermint bath bombs
  • 1/2 dozen brown butter chocolate chip cookies
  • 1/2 dozen sugar cookies (some bicycles!)
  • 1/2 dozen pieces of chocolate fudge *may contain nuts
  • 4 granola bars *contains nuts
  • Recipes for all items
  • 1 reclaimed basket and spider tulle.


With recipes included, you’ll be able to make these items yourself. I was VERY intimidated at the thought of making soap, but there was no need. It was a cinch!

But I digress.  Other great things about these baskets:

  • Minimal waste involved and limited ‘new’ things were needed to put these together. All of the beautiful baskets (or tins or sleigh-shaped pots) were purchased from a second-hand store. They can continue to be re-used or donated back so more money can be raised for those organizations. 
  • The goodie bags were in the possession of staff for years and now are finally getting put to good use!
  • The mason jars are new but can be re-used again and again, either for re-gifting or preserving your harvest next fall. 
  • Where possible, ingredients were purchased in bulk.
  • And finally, the wrapping is fabric, which of course can be re-used and is definitely NOT cellophane.
We are also giving a basket away! Become a member between November 26th and December 20th for a chance to win.
