What you’ll need
- a basket, wooden crate, or beautiful box
- filler (wood wool, fabric, tissue paper)
- 4–8 carefully chosen artisanal products
- ribbon, tag, and a handwritten card
Step by step
- Pick a theme: e.g., “Sweet Breakfast”, “Aperitivo Evening”, or “Pasta Lover”.
- Select the products: a balance of sweet and savoury keeps things exciting.
- Assemble: line the base with filler, place taller jars at the back, smaller ones up front.
- Decorate: add a ribbon, dried herbs, or a few Grissini for height.
- Make it personal: tuck in a handwritten note.
