Priceless Gift Ideas

It truly is the giving season and for those who are still perplexed on what to give there are many easy and inexpensive things we have to suggest to you. First, we’d be remiss if we didn’t suggest a gift certificate for a weekend at our fine Sunset Beach lodgings.

Never underestimate the gift of your time, which means more to family and friends than you realize. We all have things we don’t like to do or are unable to, we all have special abilities and things we’re really good at. Think about matching up a need someone has with an ability you’ve been blessed with. What a priceless gift!

There are numerous types of gift baskets that you can give and we’re not talking about fruit baskets either. If you’re crafty or a skilled artist, fill your basket with art you created yourself but be sure to pick a theme that the recipient of your gift cares about. Again, the value of having something from you that you made yourself far out does anything you could buy at the store.

You can’t go wrong with specialty item baskets like a Chocolate Lover’s gift basket filled with homemade things (or purchased from a bakery) — chocolate cookies, chocolate bonbons, chocolate dipped coffee spoons and for a special touch wrap them in cellophane with a bow, hot chocolate mix, and chocolate covered espresso beans.

Coffee and Tea Lovers would enjoy a basket filled with gourmet coffees and teas, personalized mugs (check online), a best-selling novel, or books on coffee regions, dark chocolates, and a decorative bookmark.

Those of us at The Sunset Inn would like to wish all of you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! When you’re looking for Sunset Beach lodgings for yourself or your family keep us in mind.
