As we approach the gift giving season, I want to give you some ideas on how one can make an elegant gift out of teas. Teas are traditional gift in China and India, where top quality teas can be very scarce and therefore very valuable. Most who can afford to give good quality tea usually gift it in small chestlets - of 5 or 7kgs. However, we can suit this tradition to our on purpose by modifying it per the American tradition. Today, I am writing about making a gift basket that includes tea. Things you will need for this gift idea are:

Cut a small 10 inches by 6 inches piece of the card board and fold the sides up by about one inch on all sides. Place the card board on the mesh fabric, place two caddies of tea on it and the tea pot in front of the tea caddies. Now, start collecting the mesh fabric around the caddies and the tea pot and collect it at the top. Staple it together with your home office stapler, or simply tie it together with a string. Tie a nice little bow with a ribbon to hide the stapler or the string, and attach a card to it.
If you want, you can tie thinner ribbons such that they stream down the gift pack.

There - the whole thing should set you back by may be $20 at the most.

As a variation, you can use shrinkwrap cellphane wrapper instead of a mesh fabric with the same effect. In the photo instead of the cardboard you see a basket. A basket will cost you a few more dollars at Walmart.
