A small, specialized gift basket store called Cindy’s
Gift Baskets recently opened in Eaton Rapids. Cindy’s Gift Baskets owner Cindy
Davis says her business, which she ran out of her Charlotte home, had expanded
to a point that she needed a storefront.
According to excerpts from the article:
Davis said she'd been making gift baskets and selling
them at craft shows for a number of years. But when her grandmother Florabel
Converse entered the Dimondale Nursing Care Center she discovered a unique
venue to sell her wares. Since then, she traveled to several area nursing
homes, setting up a booth and offering her baskets for sale.
"Those people in the care centers often have no way
to get gifts when something they know or someone in their family has a birthday
or whatever," Davis said. "So I would bring in my baskets, and the
cups and other things that go inside, and people would flock to my table."
Each of Davis' baskets is unique and are typically filled
with mugs, tea pots or cups and goodies such as tea, cocoa , cookies or candy.
And they are not expensive.
