Any more I ask people what they like before I go out of my way to get them
really good teas....most of the time I think my mother-in-law likes flavored
teas and herbals so....that's what she gets. Or a gift certificate, that's
best.

Seriously, if someone is going to spend that much money on a gift for
someone it is best if they ASK first if the recipient even wants it or knows
what to do with it, especially food items. Otherwise it's a good bet they'll
be disappointed with how the gift is received.
