I was thinking the other day about this while making the sets of pot holders for my sister's in law. (One is a double sided oven mit and the other is for the stove.) I plan on filling the pocket on the big one with homemade cookies in plastic and a card.
I was thinking how nice it would be to buy a nice sized basket or wooden bowl and make seasonal cloths to keep buns warm. I also thought maybe of making a Pad to fit the base that could be microwaved to keep the buns warmer. Kind of like those neck warmers. Know what I mean? I haven't worked out the details yet, but, I think it would make a nice gift if you did it right.
