I think my sister would really like this idea. We got a pasta basket one year for Christmas, but it was with all the raw ingredients. This Italian woman made all of her sauce from tomato paste.
When I was still working which was a a butcher shop I made gift baskets every Christmas, and everyone just loved receiving them!!
This is a great gift basket idea! I know a few people who would love this.
