Let's focus on the types of snacks available to purchase and send to for that special occasion.  They have Unique Gourmet Gift Baskets  that consist of mugs, coffee, teas, cookies, kitchen necessities, chocolates, or a combination of all that and more.  There is nothing like a hot cup of java to get your mornings going, or a sip of tea if you prefer coffee and tea gift baskets. Another category MEAT AND CHEESE GIFT BASKETS   This selection consists of fine meat and cheese, in combination with sausages, biscuits, cool cutlery, special mustards, old style salt-water taffy, and so much more.  The meat and cheese collection can please anyone from a football fan, to dad at father's day, to that high-end client.  Let's not forget the baskets for movies at home, gourmet chocolates and  candy, coke products, gourmet jellybeans, and anything your mind can imagine.  All of these can be purchased at reasonable prices.

 And if that special someone has to watch their diet or control their sugar, it can be done with a special gift basket too.  There are baskets made to follow doctor's orders.  Some of the baskets consist of sugar-free products, such as brownie bites, chocolate candies, cookies, and tropical candies. The doctor ordered to keep it light- no problem- the answer must be in the basket with the chicken noodle soup and crackers.  So, that age old question of what to send to show you care can all be wrapped up in a nice basket.  Remember, there are baskets for all occasions, gift baskets for him or her, Kosher Food Gift Basket, and Specialty Snack Baskets  of all sorts.  The toughest part is deciding with which snack basket to choose, from the fruits and nuts, to the tea and cookies, to the candy baskets that make your mouth water just looking at them.  Treat them to that snack basket that they will savor with each bite.

 

SWEET AND SAVORY GIFT BASKET

If you do want to splurge a little to make a special memory or celebrate something in particular with your hike and picnic—or if you just don’t feel like putting a picnic lunch together on your own, you can also purchase ready made meat and cheese gift baskets that look attractive and contain small sizes of lots of little goodies so you and your guest can sample lots of treats and focus on each other. You can buy unique gourmet gift baskets designed around themes, as well—like wine and cheese, chocolate and fruit, and others—if meat and cheese gift baskets aren’t really your thing.

Even big city residents can find a place to take a hike and a picnic nearby if they think outside the box. Why not take a “hike” up and down the hills in San Francisco and then have a picnic at the waterfront? Or take a “hike” to the top floor of a tall building in your city and then ride the elevator down and picnic in the building’s atrium or courtyard?

If you live in a high rise, how about hiking to the roof of your complex and enjoying the view along with a picnic lunch? Or even “hiking” out onto the terrace or fire escape? Try something different for a change! Remember, it’s really romantic in the movies, right? So give it a try.

And if you’re not a great cook, don’t worry about it. Meat and cheese gift baskets can make life easy. And unique gourmet gift baskets are an easy way to make a great impression without lifting a finger.

So what are you waiting for? Go take a hike! And don’t forget the picnic lunch.

Take A Hike! – And Have a Picnic

No matter where you live, and even in tough economic times, there is one activity almost everyone can afford: to go on a hike and have a picnic! We’ve all seen the scenes in the movies—where a couple heads out to a beautiful hilly or mountainous setting for a short hike through the hills and the woods and then settles down for a beautiful, romantic lunch on a blanket spread on the grass or in the shade beneath a tree. They might pull out a couple of meat and cheese gift baskets—or one of many other unique gourmet gift baskets that look both beautiful and delicious—and enjoy wine, caviar, cheese, crackers, and other delicacies. It looks like so much fun! Yet how often do we take the time to do something like that?

You don’t have to reside in the mountains or drive to a national park to enjoy a hike and a picnic. And you don’t have to spend a lot either. You can save money and take a much-needed R&R break in your hometown or even your own backyard. Take a hike—or a walk—to a local park to spread out your meal and enjoy it in the outdoors with the person you love. Almost every town or city has beautiful parks waiting to be discovered. When is the last time you’ve visited one of yours? If you want to save money, pack a picnic lunch utilizing whatever you happen to have in the house—like peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, cupcakes, and apple juice—and focus on enjoying the time together. Pack it in a basket, a cooler, or a backpack—whatever works.

GREAT IMPRESSIONS GIFT BASKET

Looking for a delicious summer treat—for a special occasion or no occasion at all? Consider specialty gift baskets! They make the perfect wedding, shower, birthday, anniversary, Father’s Day, housewarming, congratulations, or “just because” gift for anyone who likes food! Meat and cheese gift baskets—in addition to fruit and nut selections, gourmet and kosher food choices, chocolate themed baskets, and even coffee and tea collections—are sure to tempt your taste buds and give recipients an extra special treat.

You can even get them for yourself! What a great way to surprise your significant other, to kick off a picnic in the park, or to try delicious new easy-to-carry food choices as you travel together to your favorite vacation spot.

Meat and cheese gift baskets are substantial gifts that provide real sustenance. Featuring real Wisconsin cheeses like Monterey jack, medium cheddar, zesty cheddar, pepper cheese, sharp cheese, Swiss cheese, and hot Swiss cheese; original and garlic Wisconsin sausage, beef summer sausage, hot summer sausage, Bavarian summer sausage, and beef salami; cheese spreads like creamy jack cheese spread, hickory cheese spread, Merlot cheddar cheese spread, and tomato basil hoop cheese spread; and specialty crackers including wheat crackers, peppercorn crackers, water crackers, wheat wafers, and more, these gift baskets aren’t just a snack—they’re a complete meal.

Most meat and cheese gift baskets contain even more than sausage, cheese, and crackers, though. Often there are several courses packed into the wicker basket or other container they come artfully arranged in. Hearty selections and collections might include mustards (hot n’spicy, yellow, and/or grained), salsa, smoked salmon, caviar, pepper jelly, green or garlic stuffed olives, smoked pate, spiced almonds, snack mix, pistachios, veggie dip, pita chips, and Cabernet Sauvignon hoop cheese among dozens of other delicacies.

Other snack items like pretzels and pretzel nuggets, peanut butter pretzel nuggets, foccacia snacks, trail mix, tortilla chips, and mini Italian breadsticks are also frequently included.

But let’s not forget the sweet treats! Before dessert, enjoy gourmet coffees, English tea, or cocoa mix with biscotti, milk or dark chocolate sticks, chocolate dipped spoons, mocha almonds, or chocolate covered cherries, blueberries, cranberries, and apricots. Then for dessert there are decadent selections tucked into some of the meat and cheese gift baskets like chocolate cheesecake, cappuccino wafers, hazelnut wafers, chocolate chip shortbread, chocolate chip cookies, raspberry cookies, almond cookies, and milk chocolate pastilles. They’re enough to make your mouth water just thinking about them.

Delicious candies and chocolates including toffee, truffles, peanut brittle, fudge, old-fashioned salt water taffy, and/or Ghirardelli chocolates are other great additions.

Many of the meat and cheese gift baskets come packed in or with a wicker hamper or basket, a picnic basket, a cutting board and/or cheese knife, and/or coffee mugs. Could a gift or a special day get any easier? Gift baskets are quick and easy to order and have delivered, and they always make such an impressive presentation.

For your Jewish friends, family, acquaintances, or business associates, you can also opt for a kosher gift basket. Smoked salmon, salmon pate, la chevre fresh goats milk cheese with roasted garlic and parsley, baby gouda, crispy flat breads, marinated braided mozzarella cheese, fruit hamentashen, rugelach, apricots, prunes, and other kosher food choices create beautiful, thoughtful gifts.

The perfect accompaniment to any of these selections is one of the other specialty gift baskets like the fruit and nut baskets—with assortments of mixed or specialty nuts and delicious fresh fruits— grapefruit; navel oranges; green, red delicious, jonagold, or granny smith apples; pineapple; Asian, comice, bosc, concord, columbia d'anjou pears, or seckel pears; or dried apricots and prunes.

A wine gift basket would round out the occasion perfectly. Make it a French country picnic with a bottle of La Vielle Ferme Cotes du Ventoux Rouge wine, a fruity and spicy Rhone red blend with ample body. A gift basket containing the wine along with fig and walnut jam with goat cheese make a delicious appetizer and sets the mood for the rest of the meal. (This also makes a wonderful, romantic wedding or wedding shower gift—or the perfect gift basket to take on the honeymoon! Or send it to the couple who just announced their engagement or just moved into their first home.)

There are many other great wine selections for gift baskets, as well. For instance, Ironstone Cabernet Sauvignon, DeLoach Cabernet Sauvignon, L de Lyeth Cabernet Sauvignon, Tin Roof Cabernet Sauvignon, Tintara Shiraz 2005, Veramonte 2007 Sauvignon Blanc Reserva, Francis Ford Coppola Rosso, Francis Ford Coppola Bianco (Pinot Grigio), Stone Cellars by Beringer Merlot, Hanna 2007 Estate Sauvignon Blanc, Kenwood Russian River Pinot Noir, and Murphy-Goode Chardonnay are just a dozen of the fine wines that go beautifully with many dining selections and for many occasions and work wonderfully tucked into a gift basket with complimentary food items.

Regardless of the occasion—or for no occasion at all—beautiful gifts just don’t get much easier than when you give a gift basket. Well, except maybe for just writing a check. But then where is the personal touch in that? A gift basket has so much more character and charm. And it leaves a lasting impression in the eyes of everyone who sees it—and especially the gift recipients who get to enjoy the tasty summer treats.

There are various social theories concerning gift economies. Some consider the gifts to be a form of reciprocal altruism. Another interpretation is that social status is awarded in return for the 'gifts'. Consider for example, the sharing of food in some hunter-gatherer societies, where food-sharing is a safeguard against the failure of any individuals daily foraging. This custom may reflect altruism, it may be a form of informal insurance, or may bring with it social status or other benefits.

A gift basket is sure to make the person receiving it to feel elevated in stature, if not make them just plain feel good.

The rock below is a out cropping called a kopje ( pronounced  copy, it is a dutch word ). The pride rock is the one featured in the Lion King.


It looks like a great place to explore, but lions do gather there and plenty of snakes so not a good idea to wander in.
I could see them just like in the movie, holding a meeting with a cookies gift basket and some meat and cheese gift baskets, discussing their next move, just kidding. I believe they call them kopje because there are many of them, and they start to look the same ( copy ). Bookmark ( copy ) our website to your favorites. We start to look like the others, but we are not the same. 
Take a look below and see what I mean. I hope you like the picture until next time ENJOY !

We where only five foot away I put my head up thru the roof and took pictures they haven't yet figured out if they jumped up on the vehicle they could come thru the roof where I had put my head up thru and then they could get the juicy stuff inside !




This little guy is a bat eared fox and it is rare to see they are pretty shy. I saw two of them one was part way in it's den and soon this one was in the fox hole also.

Spring is in the air ( or just around the corner ) We will be looking forward to getting out doors to do a little gardening ,a picnic,a bike ride ( don't forget your helmet ) and take the dog for a long walk.
The air seams to smell fresh the flowers are blooming and the trees are getting green ( remember in the fall they'll need to be raked up ) We have rain showers instead of snow. The green can be intense,but after the winter it is a pleasent change. The temperatures are just about right and it stays lighter later.
The birds are back and singing ( as long as they don't nest over your car ). All the animals are having babies - squirrels, rabbits, birds and all the others you don't see often.
So enjoy the season, summer will be here and then it will be it's too hot to do any thing, when will winter get here.
