Granite State Treasures: New England Handmade Gift Baskets
A Unique Gift Idea
At Simply Out of Order, organization isn’t just about decluttering a space—it’s about being thoughtful about what we keep, what we value, and the stories behind the things we bring into our homes.
That idea inspired Granite State Treasures, a curated collection of gift baskets filled with handmade products from artisans across New Hampshire and New England.
Each basket features thoughtfully selected items created by local makers who put time, skill, and creativity into their work. From small-batch goods to handcrafted items, these baskets highlight the incredible talent found right here in our region.
These are not mass-produced gift baskets.
They are unique collections of locally handmade products designed to celebrate New England craftsmanship.
The Story Behind Granite State Treasures
My Mom was an artisan.
She could quilt, create dolls and stuffed toys, arrange flowers, and even do photography. She was incredibly talented, and I feel so fortunate that I inherited at least a little of her artistic spirit.
For most of her adult life, she sold her creations at craft fairs and local shops. She loved making things, and growing up I saw firsthand the skill, hard work, and love behind everything she created. That experience stayed with me—and it’s a big part of what inspired Granite State Treasures.
Artisans don’t just make products—they create one-of-a-kind pieces that carry care and intention.
New England is filled with people creating amazing things. Supporting small businesses and local artisans is something many of us take pride in here—they are truly the backbone of our communities.
When you give a gift that someone thoughtfully made, it says something—and it honors the person who created it.
The idea for these baskets started when I created a New Hampshire–made basket for a business expo raffle. It ended up being the most sought-after item. I kept creating them for events and gifts and realized this could be a natural extension of my business.
As a professional organizer, I help people declutter and focus on what truly matters. At first glance, gift baskets might seem like the opposite—but to me, they’re connected.
These baskets aren’t about adding more “stuff.” They’re about meaningful gifts—items carefully made, intentionally chosen, and given with purpose. They create a moment, a connection, and often a memory.
There’s also something important behind the scenes: artisans deserve to earn a fair profit for their work. Handmade goods take time, talent, and care, and the items in these baskets are selected with that in mind.
The goal is simple: a win-win for the artisan, for you, and for me.
I truly love creating these baskets—discovering new artisans, choosing the items, and bringing them together into something special. But the best part is seeing someone’s face when they receive one.
Because in the end, these baskets aren’t just about what’s inside. They’re about the experience of giving, the joy of receiving, and the memories that come with both.
These really are Granite State Treasures—making room for the things, and the moments, that truly matter.
Custom Baskets – Made Just for You
Custom-Made
Every Granite State Treasures basket is custom created. These are not pre-made or sitting on a shelf—each basket is thoughtfully assembled after you place your order.
This allows me to match the basket to your theme, occasion, and budget, while also selecting from the locally handmade items currently available from New Hampshire and New England artisans.
You choose the theme, and I design a basket built around it.
Popular themes include:
- Aromatherapy & relaxation
- Pet lovers (cats and/or dogs)
- New Hampshire favorites
- Food & locally made treats
- Maple-themed baskets
- Holiday gifts
- Seasonal collections
Because every basket is created individually, no two baskets are exactly the same.
If you have a specific idea, occasion, or person in mind, we can work together to design a basket that fits perfectly.
Turnaround & Delivery
Most custom baskets can be prepared and delivered within 3 days, making them a great option for last-minute gifts or special events.

We can also arrange a local meet-up for hand delivery for a small handling fee.
