Each basket is full of delightful items corresponding directly to one of Gerry's movies or TV projects. Click on the titles to sneak a peek inside some of these valuable and beautiful baskets.
Mrs. Brown

Unsuitable Job for a Woman
The video of Gerry's episode is becoming rare, but we have it! If Cordelia Gray inspires you, a 5 megapixel Vivitar digital camera can be yours to start your own detective agency. You Can Do It, a motivational book for women, will get you on the right track for success.
Young Person's Guide to Becoming a Rockstar
This basket has everything you need to make it to the top of the charts--the soundtrack, the video, even a Scottish Rocker t-shirt your fans will want you to autograph at the concert. Room service has thoughtfully provided a lovely fruit basket, made of Capodimonte bisque china. So rock on for Cowdenbeath!
The Cherry Orchard
Feeling depressed? No? Chekhov will fix that! At least Gerry is gorgeous and a little randy, so there's the consolation. The items in this basket, including a Faberge-style Easter egg, and a Russian shawl to keep you warm in the carriage ride out to your dascha, will whisk you back to Imperial Russia.
One More Kiss
This basket contains romance-for-two: wine, chocolate, and candlelight (in beautiful crystal candlesticks). Be a gourmet chef (cookbook included) and there will always be One More Kiss for you!
Lucy Sullivan is Getting Married
The fortune teller predicts Lucy's marriage will be soon. Find out why Gus (Gerry) is the wrong guy for all the right reasons. You can take a look into the future with Tarot cards, and try the aromatherapy in its own ceramic tub. Unlike Lucy, you get to keep your red roses--on a brooch and a miniature silk bouquet.
Dracula 2000 #1
If you missed Mardi Gras, win this basket and throw your own. World-famous coffee from Cafe Du Monde will get you pumped up for the big parade (with Mardi Gras mask and beads), then relax with a glass of Vampire Merlot while you immerse yourself in every version of the lore of Bad Vlad.
Dracula 2000 #2

Shooters
Jackie Jr. has nothing to hide, even with his yellow towel on! You can win the DVD of this gritty British gangland drama and find out what all the gasping is about. There is a dramatic scorpion pin (like Jackie Jr's tattoo) of Austrian crystal, and you can be packing heat with a pistol flashlight.
Attila

Reign of Fire #2
Do you have what it takes to face down a dragon? You can if it's a beautiful silver and Sodolite dragon necklace! So raise your dragon goblet high and toast Creedy! (Oops, not like in the movie-RAISE a toast to Creedy!)
The Jury

You'll also get $10 at Starbucks for your own heart-to-heart talks over coffee. There are beautiful Indian items as well--as we might say, "Sikh and you shall find!"
Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life
Retrace the escapades of Lara and Terry with souvenirs from England, China, Hong Kong and Africa. You WILL find Pandora's box, wearing the exclusive Amber Orb earrings and necklace!
Timeline
Timeline takes you from France to...uh, France. But, you know, in different centuries. Gerry gets back to where he once belonged, so you can capture the romance of Andre and Lady Claire with a fleur-de-lis necklace, or choose the adventurous quest of the archeologists with Celtic and Medieval artifacts.
The Miracle Match/Game of Their Lives
This true story is heartwarming and patriotic, plus the team looks great in jerseys and shorts! Soccer fans will love the DVD and the book on it was based, autographed for us by the author. You will also win the fantastic official U.S. Soccer Team woven throw that will keep you warm at the stadium.
