Complete Holiday Italian Dinner Gift Basket

During the Holiday season I am always looking for different gift ideas for both friends and family.  One thing I have found that I like to give are consumables for large families, I have several friends who have 3-4 children and I like to give something that the whole family can enjoy or use.  This year I decided to make up Italian dinner baskets.  I purchased strainers and inside each strainer I placed, spaghetti noddle’s, sauce, Parmesan cheese, and a holiday table runner.  I was able to find brand name noodles and sauce on sale so, it made these dinner baskets very affordable.

After I arranged all of the ingredients in the strainer.  I cut a large piece of cellophane and placed the strainer in the center of the cellophane.  I pulled the sides of the cellophane to the top and tied the cellophane in place with a ribbon.  I added addition ribbons and a Christmas tag to the Italian dinner gift basket.  I hope the families I give these to enjoy a simple dinner on me!  The best thing about this Italian dinner gift basket is you can make them for birthdays or any occasion that you need a nice gift for.
