Default Making Your Customized Diabetic Gift Basket


"Typefree Diabetes" > wrote in message

Items for the basket – Aah! That will definitely be the key to
success, as far as the appeal of your diabetic gift baskets is
concerned, so make sure that you make the best choice here. Low sugar
items or sugar free items should definitely be at the top of your
agenda; of course, you do have the option of not including any sweet
items such as the above, at all, but what the heck – does gifting
season really seem that, if there is no sweet treat included?

That said, you could also include other food items that are not in the
sweet category, and yet are likely to be appreciated by the recipient,
perhaps because they are personal favorites. How about some real
cheese low fat, which also happens to be absolutely low-carb? Sounds
perfect!

Looking beyond food items, how about some personal dress options,
suited to diabetics? You could include , socks or stockings that are
particularly tailored to the needs of diabetics. Also consider heart
rate monitor and measurement devices, which any diabetes afflicted
recipient would truly appreciate. For instance, with glucose test
monitors getting more and more compact in size, they could be a
potentially perfect choice for inclusion in the gift basket.

Finally, with all the choices appropriately made, now it is time to
pack the basket nicely so as to maximize its appeal. Remember that,
like with a lot of things in life, packaging makes a lot of difference
to the appeal of the product in question! In this case, you could
consider wrapping the basket up in transparent cellophane so as to
showcase its contents. Further, you could tie a ribbon on top, for
enhanced appeal.

I don't want to visit your website as I don't like spam. But I am a
diabetic. I eat real, regular foods. I once got a gift basket that had
balsamic vinegar, olive oil and even olives in it. I eat all of those
things. What I won't eat are foods sweetened with sugar alcohols. Yuck!
