For years we have used local/in-state vendor’s products for our Colorado gift baskets. But we realized there is so much more we can do. It started with the excelsior…the shred that is used as a nest for products in the baskets. We had, for the last 18 years, sourced that excelsior from a gift basket supply place in Florida. Come to find out that it is produced HERE in Colorado….Oy vey. For

August's full moon is often referred to as the Wyrt, Wort, Barley, Corn or Red Moon. The energies around this moon are ones of abundance, agriculture and marriage. We are encouraged to begin harvesting, collecting and storing. Magic done at this time of year can be to help yourself or someone else (who has asked you!) reap the benefits of hard work done. This Saturday August 16th marks our 1st

We ran into our old pal Joe at the noted locavore restaurant, Nosh, in Colorado Springs this past weekend. The Peak To Plains Alliance was celebrating all things local and consumable with a benefit raising awareness and support for locavores. What’s a locavore? Glad you asked! A locavore is someone who eats primarily from their own backyard, frequenting businesses that support other local

"April showers bring may flowers."May is just around the corner, and March is going out like a shivering, cold lamb which means we're expecting a lion's share of snow here in Colorado. All the better to bring those May Day flowers.The tradition of giving May Day gift baskets of flowers is as old as the ancient pagan tradition of Beltane itself. Beltane, observed on May 1st, celebrates the Goddess

Each year Americans produce millions of tons of trash. Our landfills are crowded with plastic, glass, and paper products that could have been reduced, reused, or recycled. Cachet Basket Company owner, Beth Alexander, has always been environmentally conscious and has built a brilliant green gift basket business reducing, reusing, and recycling whenever possible.

Not much has been written but so much has been said about the art of “re-gifting.” And yes, I said “art.”Wikipedia says "regifting" is the act of taking a gift that has been received and giving it to somebody else, sometimes in the guise of a new gift. One example of a formalization of this activity is the white elephant gift exchanges, in which items can be regifted from year to year.Yes,

Not just any kiss, but an “I’ve missed you kiss.” An “I can’t wait to see you” kiss, and his lips proved it.We stood in a long embrace and kissed until my head-spins matched the world’s spin once again.
