Gift baskets

I didn't think it would be possible for there to be *yet another* reason why I'd be delighted to spend the night at your home ... but you've found it. As a foodie, I'd be delighted with your selections.

If your guests are not local, selections of local items (cheeses, teas, preserves, etc.) are always a great idea.

I may be up for a new job that involves a fair amount of international travel. I hope I get the chance to visit Australia.

Robert Silverberg, Garry Kilworth, Iain M Banks, Isaac Asimov, Patricia Cornwell, Dean Koontz, Molly Gloss.

DF, that's a delightful inverse. I certainly go to lengths to ensure that guests in my home feel comfortable and welcome, but I've don't make gift baskets for them. When I am a guest in someone else's home, I always take a gift or gift basket for my host.

I'll have to put a lot of thought into your question; I've always considered an invitation to someone's home as enough of a gift to make me feel welcomed and special.

What a lovely host you are.
Let's see... what would you put in a gift basket to make me feel special? hmmm..

A locally made aged cheese
A cotton handkerchief
Soap? ok.. but something strong. My hands get greasy from working on my motorcycles.
A bottle of Becks

Surprise me with the other two.

OHHHHHHHHH!!! LOVER!
You would SOOOOO look positively darling in that collar and leash romping around like a big puppy.
The corset and panties I am a little dubious about but if you desire a little gender bending I have a largish friend called BOB who would be delighted to meet you.

You are truly a great hostess.

I want my bar of Tetterine
A small bag of Ghiradelli chocolate squares with mint
A book full of humorous but not profane anecdotes
A seashell or interesting stone (maybe one that's local in origin)
A large bottle of distilled water

The soap is luxurious to me. It only costs a couple of bucks. The water I'll sip while I read. The stone or shell will be something I add to my memory treasures. I keep tiny shells or stones to remind me of the great time I had with someone or somewhere. I went through a box, and found old movie ticket stubs. They brought back clear memories of the girl, and the date. I even remember vivid details of the movies, and how she laughed. Those ticket stubs are over 30 years old.

There's that impish sense of humor I adore...

On second thought, lover, add a nice leather cat o'nine to that basket for me as well. Something tells me it won't go unused.

So I get to spank you as well?
This keeps getting better and better!
DC_Deep will be pleased.
