Egg and Melon Baskets
The Egg or Melon Basket is one of the favorites among customers for gift giving and for keeping. Baskets available with 4”, 6”, 10” and 18-20” hoops. Baskets are several inches larger than hoop size. Melon Baskets have more of a rounded bottom (melon shaped) and Egg Baskets have two cheeks. Egg Baskets were traditionally made to have the two sections to more evenly distribute the weight of the eggs. Baskets range from $8 for a small to $75 for the large floor version.
Gift Baskets
Jelly Baskets, Tulip Baskets, and Gift Bag Baskets are the second most favored gift giving baskets. Jelly Baskets are made to hold two pint size jars of your homemade goodies such as jellies, jams, pickles, etc. Tulip Baskets are woven with hand pounded ash strips to resemble tulips. Both baskets come with a wire handle. Gift Bag baskets have a fold in the side to resemble a paper bag and have seagrass handles. Prices range from $12 for a plain Jelly, $15 for standard Tulips and fancy Jelly's, and $20 for Gift Bags and larger Tulips.
Bread Baskets
Bread Baskets make wonderful gifts for that bread maker in your life. Shown here are standard Bread Machine Baskets fitting a one to two pound loaf of bread. Also shown is a table bread basket that holds rolls and bread slices. Table bread baskets can also come with a decorative ceramic stone to be heated first in the oven, wrapped in a dish towel and placed at the bottom of the basket to keep rolls and breads warm. For that special occasion, order a large, Holiday Bread Basket to hold all your special baked goods for that special holiday season. Want to give a special gift to a baker? Try the Swing Handle Market Basket large enough to include ingredients, utensils, towels, goodies, etc. Baskets range from $18 for Bread Machine Baskets to $30 for Holiday Bread Baskets.
