Find a couple unusual items on the Internet for a great pet gift. As mentioned previously, a variety of cookbooks is the foundation for this basket. Some things to add to this basket would be food items and utensils. You could take your inspiration from one of the cookbooks, or from the foods you know the person to like. These can range from cookies to ingredients for ice cream sundaes.
Cookbooks are again appropriate, although harder to find just for deserts.
I would include in this category homemade jellies and jams, ice cream toppings, utensils like ice cream scoops, cocoa drink mixes, cookie cutters, etc. Homemade recipe cards for special desserts add a special touch. These are very popular now. This gift is popular with both young girls and older women. Items in the basket can range from aromatic candles to bubble baths.
