Your mother would really love a basket you put together yourself with her in mind. The art of making gift baskets is not difficult. You just have to know the person, pick out a special basket, add some personalized items (along with a little love) and decorate it a little.
Start with the basket. Go to a crafts store and pick out a basket your mother will use even after she dismantles the gift. There are even collapsible and folding baskets available.
Choose the basket in her favorite color and materials. If possible, choose a theme or design that copies her interests. Think gourmet.
You don't have to make the foods, but let your imagination run wild with ideas on gourmet items for a gift basket. Look at some of the ideas others have done to make your own creation. French and Canadian cheeses along with exotic coffees are easy to find.
Seek out unique ingredients to put into the basket as decoration ... more.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
