If you’re still buying gifts for friends, family and hosts, give a gift basket with all of their favorite things. The toughest part, for me at least, is to package it in a way that is thoughtful and customized. We have a lot of friends who are coffee lovers, so I decided to purchase King Bean coffee that is roasted and hand packed in Charleston, S.C. Then I headed to Pier 1 to find a mug and some other holiday accents that brought everything together. I even brought in outdoor elements such as pine cones and fresh cedar to help make it festive.
