What goes into the making of a great gift basket? Join us as we deconstruct an Ohio Gift Basket, put together by our Professional Foodies.
We start with a strong theme (Ohio, of course) and full-size high quality products from around our state. We then create a good mix of products for the recipient to enjoy now and long into the future.
