I found this little shop tucked away on Bonita Beach Road this week that opened in November. It is a FTD flower shop with local and nationwide delivery.

Rick, one of the owners, was installing a new cooler the day I was there for his flowers, the cooler looked as big as the store but there were all kinds of things in that tiny space to look at.

Besides flowers and balloons that could be delivered by someone in a costume, gorilla, chicken or grim weeper he makes all kinds of baskets. You can go in and pick the items you want in a basket from a wide variety. He has things for a fish basket with a little bear fisherman or fish bait in a box that are gummy worms ... cute!

Also, baby baskets filled to the brim with toys, blocks, baby blankets,towels etc., and of course complete with a rubber duckie!

How about a relaxing spa basket? Or one called "Now that's Italian", a huge basket filled with all kinds of pastas, sauces, olives. Everything Italian for $114.50.

Mixing bowls full of goodies only $14.95. I liked the get well ones with a little bear hanging on a box of band-aids or dressed as a Dr. with a RX bottle that you could fill. My son-in-law broke his wrist and hand so I am going back for the little bear with his arm in a sling ... the sling says get well soon! Only $4.95. It is better than a greeting card!

I saw pink flamingos that you can sit anywhere with sun glasses and big fluffy slippers! $14.99.

Rick also has fall leaves and packages of wheat for fall decorating. Cute pumpkin baskets ready to fill.

Chocolate alligators and manatees, gourmet hot chocolate and coffee. All kinds of gourmet products from caviar, smoked salmon, liver pate, soups to crackers!! Jams and jellies, cookies and candies, you name it!

He does party decorating, picnic feasts, chocolate lovers baskets, has an assortment of long stemmed cookies, long stemmed chocolate roses or long stemmed chocolate golf balls!

It is a neat little shop for an unusual gift. So go in and let Rick design a beautiful gift in a wicker basket, theme box, ceramic mug or planter. He has themes for all occasions ... what a great idea!
