Choosing the Gifts and Basket

• 1). Consider jogging or power walking accessories for a physically active boomer woman: headbands, reflectors for shoes and wrists, a tape player with waistband attachment, motivational books on tape, an electronic pedometer, a visor, sunscreen.
  
  
• 2). Consider the following for any boomer woman: books and magazines on women's health issues; a variety of herbal teas; skin care lotions for maturing skin; gentle hair care products with herbal scents; skin care accessories, such as sponges, brushes and loofahs; humorous coffee mugs; Beatles CDs, for the memories.
  
  
• 3). Pick a basket style. Your choices include those with one handle, with two side handles, or without handles. Make certain the basket is large enough to hold the gifts you have selected.
  
  
• 4). Decide on the color of the basket by choosing one that complements the woman's home decor. If in doubt, choose a neutral color by selecting a natural wicker basket.
  
  
• 5). Use shredded paper filling to make the gifts fit snugly in the basket.
  
  
• 6). Buy a humorous greeting card about middle age.
