How to Start a Home-Based Gift Basket Business, Third Edition (Home-Based Business Series)

I bought at least 10 books when starting my business and this is the only one I actually still refer to. The Marketing chapter gave me so many ideas that never would have occured to me. She really goes into great detail about every last thing that you would need to know - from finding vendors to creating a business plan to setting up your home office. There are no design ideas or color pictures, but the "Tips and Techniques" were invaluable. I was starting from scratch as far as owning my own business is concerned, but this book walked me through every step. I'd recommend it to anyone thinking of going into this business.
