First off, thanks to all of you who submitted an idea for this basket! I really appreciate it and I was happily surprised by the wealth and variety of ideas. You all are amazing!

Anyway, the next time you have a friend or family member who's going through a little bit of a tough patch, look up this blog! It's chockful of great ideas for a little pick-me-up and for convincing someone to turn life's lemons into lemonade!

When Life Gives You Lemons Gift Basket

Teamsugar member Davie_K recommended this book. According to Amazon, recipes, crafts, gardening tips, and fascinating lore abound in this handsome celebration of the enchanting lemon. From a bright Lemon Gremolata to savory Lemon-Parsley Biscuits, simple recipes make the delightful tang of lemons the main attraction. There are also clever and useful lemon crafts to try, including a luscious Lemon Lip Balm, easy Lemon Pomanders to freshen the linen closet, and Lemon Cough Syrup to soothe the throat. With gorgeous photographs, practical wisdom, wonderful gift ideas, and homey delights, this charming book is the complete compendium for true lemon lovers.

Or how about this novel? It's about racism, roots, and a woman trying to overcome the world around her as she tries to understand it as well.

Lemon Drops

For candy ideas, why not try Lemon Drops? They're a classic and they'll taste great alongside these Lemonhead candies as suggested by LaLaLaurie06.

Or if you're in the mood to try making a little candy yourself, Lemon Crunch Candy certainly sounds easy and delicious. (Make you could even keep a little for yourself!)

This bright and sunny pitcher is sure to help chase away those blues. Or, as bfly1133 suggested, how about this dinnerware set from Target? It's certainly Lemony and perfect for this theme.

Dinnerware

A lemon candle is sure to please as well, letting citrus scents waft through the house. You can always buy one, like the one above, or try making your own! Always a good touch.

From TreatBeauty.com

It's hard to go wrong with a product called Treat Kiss and Make it Butter Lemon Lip Balm. Who doesn't love a great new beauty product? And with a name like that, it's just perfect for this basket.

Unfortunately, I couldn't find a great picture of yellow nail polish, but hey, it's a great idea for an 80's girl! Thanks, hvnly34! Wonder if I could find a Day-Glo shade...

Teamsugar member popgoestheworld added another great idea - a juicer! This is a must for anyone who's looking to turn lemons into lemonade. Add in some lemons and your gift recipient is all set for making something delicious!

Lemonade Cookies were a great recommendation by partysugar. They'd ship well and they look delicious! Plus, who doesn't love cookies?

No one ever said that life couldn't hand you a few limes as well. So, thanks to LaLa0428, this DIY soap is a great additional to this basket!

Lemon Lime Silky Soap
2 cups soap flakes (yes, they still make them for baby clothes, but you can grate your own from your favorite bar soap)
1 gallon water
1/3 cup glycerin
2 cups unscented shampoo or liquid soap
lemon and lime essential oils
(salt to thicken if needed)
Start your silky soap by stirring the water slowly into the soap flakes along with a tablespoon or two of the glycerin. Heat gently, stirring until the soap dissolves. *This will be your soap base and can be stored and used as needed.

For our lemon lime silky soap, remove two cups and combine with the remainder of the glycerin and a few drops of your essential oils. If you prefer one scent over the other, add one or two drops more of one. Personally, I like the lime a little stronger, so I add just a tiny bit more of that oil. You can play around with it until it is perfect for you and your kitchen.

Fill up your pump dispensors and you are ready to go. Your kitchen is going to smell heavenly!

*As in other recipes, if you find your soap a little too thin for your liking, salt is a natural thickener and can be added a little at a time until you achieve the results you prefer.

Lemon bath products are another great addition and Teamsugar member leeluvfashion came up with some great ideas! Burt's Bees makes a variety of products using lemons, Philosophy has a line of lemon custard scented items, and Lush makes a Lemslip Buttercream Soap. Sounds good to me!

Of course, if your gift basket isn't going far, that might make it a little easier on deciding what to put in it!

Lemon Curd Tarts could be a great addition, adding a little bit more deliciousness to an already delectable basket!
