Dia De Los Muertos

A client called us on Thursday and needed a custom gift basket for a very special client. They needed it that same day! And they needed it to be for the Mexican Day of the Dead – Dia De Los Muertos. They didn’t tell us who it was for, but we’re thinking maybe Danny Elfman. (I’ve heard it said that this is his favorite holiday.)

The first thing was to find a coffin-like wood trunk to hold everything. If you’re going to celebrate the day of the dead, you’d better do it right!
Our client sent us a special skull shaped bottle of tequila which paired perfectly with a black skull that we found. There are some other very unique items in there too, along with some pretty cool things to eat, as always.

Getting a gift basket like this turned around in less than a day really takes some doing! Every year we create a lot of holiday gift baskets, but this is the first one ever for Dia de los Muertos!
