These can be presented in a decorative fashion, and either given alone or combined with other gifts in a basket. Pick a theme and create a basket. Here are two of my personal favorites. Second, a Latte Lovers basket filled with a decorative mug, chocolate-dipped spoons, and hot drink mixes such as Mexican coffee mix, hot cocoa mix or teas. Give a basket filled with various flavored rice mixes, dip mixes, salad dressing mixes, dessert mixes or soup mixes.
Many Web sites offer a variety of mix recipes.
Choose an inexpensive item to add to the basket to make a unique and beautiful gift. For example, a ceramic bowl for the soup mix, a wooden spoon with the dessert mixes and a cruet with the salad dressing mix. I buy the baskets at thrift shops and garage sales. Sometimes I spray paint them gold to dress up the gift. I fill the bottom with straw or a piece of cloth with the edges cut with pinking shears.
