Enhancements, from The Gift Basket Design Book, by Shirley George FrazierPopped balloons. Slashed cellophane. The strangest things happen to baskets when they’re traveling to clients.

Maybe you’re going to a presentation, or perhaps you’re making a delivery. In either case you must be ready for whatever can happen to that gorgeous basket enroute to its destination.

To solve the worst problems, designers carry their own version of a doctor’s bag. The contents promise to remove all the pain associated with the smallest things going wrong to ruin the event.

Your bag doesn’t have to be an actual bag. It could be a toolbox, a wired carryall or a small cardboard box. Choose whatever works for you and fill it with supplies and replacements such as scissors, tape, curling ribbon, raffia, and pull bows.

You’re a savvy gift basket designer who always carries these tools in case of emergency. Keep these supplies handy and always available in your vehicle. It’s a great investment in time and against headaches.

What’s in your doctor’s bag?
