Dried gourds can be used for decorative or functional
purposes, such as baskets, birdhouses, night lights and much more. Gourd baskets make excellent gifts when filled with items to suit the occasion. Fill a basket with baby items for a shower, baked goods for a thank you gift, or stationary and office supplies for a student going off to college. A basket filled with balls of yarn, crochet and knitting needles makes a wonderful gift for someone with those interests, but also look charming on the endtable in the sewing room.
