Trivia
To my thinking, there's something celebratory about a basket. With the possible exception of the dreaded laundry basket, the sight of one waiting to be filled, or begging to be emptied typically fills me with anticipation.

A few weeks back, I went in search of a needle and was struck by the realization that my sewing basket, a birthday gift when I turned 16, was a full 50 years old. At the time, it seemed to symbolize my approaching adulthood every bit as much as my new driver's license. Best of all, it came packed with sewing gear- much of which is still in that basket. If you have a sewing basket, which of these would we find inside it?

Many years ago, my parents were given a fruit basket filled with pears, apples, bananas, grapes. oranges, and grapefruit. All the usual suspects. Amazingly, there was a pineapple AND there was a coconut- very exotic for those days. The coconut gave my brother and me an evening of messy fun as we tried to gain access the milk and the meat inside. These days, an Edible Arrangement is often given instead of a fruit basket. Which would you prefer?

Before it was considered somewhat rude to give a wedding gift not listed on the registry, I often opted to send the couple a picnic basket fitted with plates, napkins, a tablecloth, and cutlery for two. Would you view such a gift as...

Grandma's mending basket. Rustic grape-vine baskets filled with gourds and fall leaves. Squeaky wicker laundry baskets. Fruit baskets wrapped in colored cellophane. So, so many baskets. Do you currently have any of these in your home?

If I had a Basket Bucket List, a hamper from Fortnum and Mason would be at the top. Have you ever gotten a Fortum and Mason hamper?
