Bee's Wax Candles, A Bottle of Wine and....

Help me finish this gift basket.  I want to only include gift items that can be "used-up" but also want to mail it so they shouldn't be too perishable.

A chunk of parmigiano reggiano cheese?  Cheese leaves?

tea, dried herbs/spices/spice mixes, chocolate, dried pasta, basic wine opener, some other helpful kitchen tool/implement (Kitchen a la Mode has lots of fun small stuff that can round out a basket), cool dish towels.

Oooh... pasta and chocolate.... sounds great!

Pinterest goes crazy for gift baskets.

Thanks @j_r!  There is quite the range of "quality" levels on that board!

I just found out that I can not legally mail a bottle of wine.  What to do? 

I need two of these gifts and can hand-deliver one but the other, out of town, recipient might have to receive flowers instead. Grrr.

organic local honey   

I love Maria's soaps and skin care products, made with her own local honey. She's on Facebook as honeylove. 

Oooo I like that one @boomie ! and @annemarie sells local honey from SO

Some balsamic vinegar? a bottle of good olive oil? Some exotic salt? I like the honey idea, too.

Mail the wine and call it vinegar on the documentation?

That seems to be tempting fate... nothing worse than a vinegary wine.

I got a bottle of infused olive oil for Christmas. It's really good, but I can't remember the brand. :-(

frankincense and myrrh?

dave, this is supposed to be a "gift" basket, not a punishment basket. ; - )
