Harvest Time 2011

Now that we are half way through the summer months, we start to look forward to the fall. With the changing of the leaves, the chilling of the air, and the shortening of the days, we are reminded of the coming of winter and the end of a new year. But let's not get too far ahead of ourselves. Autumn itself has many of its own merits. For thousands of years, autumn has been the time of year to celebrate the harvest and the gift of food. representations such as pumpkins, gourds, and brightly colored leaves are traditional in the United States as we celebrate Thanksgiving Day and Halloween. As the days get shorter and cooler, we draw our attention from the bleakness of the season and distract ourselves with celebrations of friends, family and food, reflecting on the things we're thankful for. Wouldn't it be nice to show up to Thanksgiving Dinner this year with a little something more than the conventional salad or loaf of bread to share? Or how would you like to surprise your distant relatives with a seasonal treat that says "I'm thinking of you and I'm thankful to have you in my life." Baskets By Rita has the perfect gift to share around the table or to send to those valued business partners you love in this time of thanks. A spooktacular way to say Happy Halloween with our Halloween gift basket filled with loads of sweet and savory goodies. We have included familiar candy bars, popcorn and snacks to make a great basket full of Halloween goodies for you to gift. This unique gift basket is a cool way for you to bring the gift of quality food to your family and friends now matter how near or far away! As the summer sun fades making way for the crisp, cool air of fall, remember those you are thankful for in your life and give them their own little part of the fall harvest!
