5.0 out of 5 stars HOW TO START A HOME BASE GIFT BASKET BUSINESS, May 17, 2000
By "cookiebb" (Jackson, MS) - See all my reviews
I have a gift basket business in Jackson, MS and am 5 months into it. This book has been a life saver. Not only does it help you start a business, it tells you in detail how to secure items in the basket. I just made a basket for mailing, and would have not been able to have secured it for shipping had it not been for this book. It shows different forms you can use for bookkeeping to keep track of your money. It doesn't show actual photo pictures of baskets, but by reading it you can determine how to make the basket. I would highly recommend it to anyone starting a gift basket business.

4.0 out of 5 stars Wonderfully written!, April 25, 2000
This book is very well written! Mrs. Frazier did an excellent job of covering all the bases; it helped me to gain a better understanding of what to expect when starting a home-based gift basket business. The business plan was easy to understand and incorporate for my own situation, and she describes in detail (and with pictures) the basics of assembling a basket.
