Default Gift basket help

Any ideas on what would go well with in gift basket centered around
Single Malt Scotches? I'm going to pick up a pair of nice rocks glasses
and a book on single malts to put in it but am stuck on what else. The
sole restriction is no wheat.

Saturday Night and Sunday Morning? The latter represented by a gourmet coffee
and a blueberry oatcakes mix. ;-)

Err...maybe I should have added that the recipient is my MIL. She's not
a cigar smoker, poor dear, but maybe some Nat Shermans would round it
out nicely.

I adore the idea of poker cards, that will be great for the reaction,
maybe a tinted green plastic visor too?

Playboy...see above, I'm not going there.

Your basket sounds perfect to me. What else could possibly be needed?

Michael, Marcel had regular Scotch, Johnny Walker Black and luckily a
1.75 bottle, so that there was plenty for you to enjoy. ) It costs
only about $80.00 and less on sale, when we buy it. There is a
Scotch our doctor likes, Royal Salute and the only time we can afford
to get it for his birthday or other holiday is, when someone goes to
Europe and brings it back from the Custom Free Shops. Even then, a
small .75 bottle costs way over $100.00, most likely around $125.00.
The dollar is terribly weak right now. (

The Single Malt Scotch can go very high. I would not advise you to
get used to it.

I forgot to add:

CHOCOLATE!
The good stuff- no Hershey bars. A nice smooth bittersweet chocolate would
work well.

Is Playgirl still published? She might be old, but I'll bet she ain't
dead.

position I don't know? hehe
