Gourmet Gift Baskets: Sports Fan Care Package Review PLUS GIVEAWAY!

Oh, my sweet little blog. How I have missed you so this last week! I really honestly thought that I could start a new job, get off at midnight, get home around 12:30 or 1AM, wake up at 7 (or earlier) with The Bean, and still find time to clean house, blog, carry on with my daily routine.. Well, I was very wrong.. 

This week has kicked my ass! 

But I am back, and finally starting to get used to all these changes that are going on.. 

I'm telling you what, after the week I've had, I deserve a gift basket. 

If I was ever going to buy myself a gift basket, it would come from Gourmet Gift Baskets, no questions asked. 

They have the best of the best when it comes to quality gifts for people you care about. 

Recently, I got the chance to review a really cool product that I didn't even know that Gourmet Gift Baskets made! 

I got to review the Sports Fan Care Package!

I really can't say enought god things about the wonderful folks at Gourmet Gift Baskets!

Whatever the occasion, they always have you covered. No crappy, generic, tiny baskets, they only provide the high quality, name brand, wonderful treats that everyone loves!

Shipping is super fast, and I don't know how they do it, but they don't even crush the chips!

My only complaint is that I need to schedule my shipments to always come on days when I am the only one home, because I am not even joking, this care package didn't even last a whole day! My boys gobbled it up like the little pigs that they are!

But, I can't say I blame them, everything in it is oh so yummy!

There are tons of different care packages to choose from!

My favorites are the Health Nut Care Package:

The Midnight Snack Care Package:

And The Deluxe Summer Fun Camp Care Package:

Doesn't that one look like fun!??!
