Amazon.com Review
This colorful book of crafts is loosely organized around a seasonal theme, and consists mostly of instructions for making the items that go inside: sachets, cornstalk dolls, herb oil, dried flowers, Eastern European-inspired Easter eggs, and numerous other folk-art items. The Noah's Ark dough basket with its tiny dough menagerie is tremendously appealing--there's a real sense of fun here.

2 stars if you want to learn how to make true gift baskets,
By A Customer
This review is from: Gift Baskets for All Seasons: 75 Fun and Easy Craft Projects (Paperback)
This book would get more stars from a craft-oriented person looking to make holiday gifts or centerpieces for family occasions. The title is misleading, in that it does not teach you anything about how to make, wrap and market true gift baskets in the sense that phrase is used by the "gift basket industry."

Wonderful Book for Floral Arrangements,
By
This review is from: Gift Baskets for All Seasons: 75 Fun and Easy Craft Projects (Paperback)
The subtitle, 75 Fun and Easy Crafts Projects, is the book's main focus, not the traditional methods of creating gift baskets filled with foods and gifts.
It shows you, in vivid detail, how to dress empty baskets for each season and showcase them throughout your home or give as a gift to someone who'll do the same. Many of the projects encompass floral arrangements, as shown on the book's cover. Other projects include baskets filled with decorative Easter eggs, shells, sewing supplies, and fresh foods for picnics. This is definitely a book for a person who has lots of baskets but doesn't know how to put them to use in and around a home. You'll be pleased to stop storing baskets and start creating attractive areas on porches, in entry areas, and kitchens. Shirley Frazier The Gift Basket Design Book, 2nd: Everything You Need to Know to Create Beautiful, Professional-Looking Gift Baskets for All Occasions
