Now I feel really stupid. Find out why in this video...

After making gift baskets for a quite a while, I was either at the feet of Dollar Tree or Oriental Trading for cellophane bags, having no alternative.

Well, after watching the above video, I learned how to wrap a gift basket using Saran-Wrap, and of course, Saran-Wrap is found in just about every kitchen in the universe!

Why have I never thought of this tip? Have you?

So, now I may make quite a few baskets for a buck using Saran-Wrap (aka: kitchen plastic wrap) instead of the dollar store 2 cellophane bags for a $1.00.

This is what is so nice about YouTube, we learn.

Happy basket wrapping!
