I was searching for new thank-you gift ideas for Thanksgiving and Christmas, and found this YouTube channel. It really inspired me to make some creative baskets for friends and neighbors. The cool part is making them personal. I’m making one for my grandkids, specific to their passions! I thought about making one for a friend who doesn’t live near me and filling it with cards and stamps! The thing is, you can go to the Dollar Store and make them personally and very inexpensively. I hope this video inspires you this season and makes giving a matter of the heart!

I'm Melinda Stevens and living the life of a beach bum was inevitable since my father was a lifeguard for the city of Los Angeles. My memories of growing up on John Street in Manhattan Beach, California were filled with joy, excitement and adventures; until my world, as I knew it, fell apart when we moved to Del Mar, California. My father was offered the position as Captain of the lifeguards and we started the slow migration to the small deserted stretch of beach in 1963. At twelve years old, this seemed like the end of my life. Remember, I’m writing with clear hindsight now, ok somewhat clearer… Little did I know this would be the beginning of a new journey and give a bit more clarity to many of the events that led me to this new cooking adventure.
