Should I scale the gift basket for my big sister down a bit?

Question

Ok I am really creative.I am into writing and art.I paint,draw,color,scrapbook,and make things.I am actually an only child, but this lady has been my older play sister for 2 years.We are best friends and she's my older play sister and mentor since I'm an only.This year is the big one.I may not be able to give her the gift this year.It may have to be for next year.I told her and she understands.I make gift baskets for really good friends.I have only made 4.The last one I made got kind of out of control.She said she is still just now getting to some of the toiletries that were in it.I gave the last gift basket I made to one of my younger friends.The basket had toiletries,school supplies,and accessories.She received 400 things in all in the basket.It took me 8 months to put it together.She didnt tell me what she liked so it was hard and got out of control.Now I know what my big sister likes,so its not hard.I made list of possible things I want to put in basket.It comes to 200 things.

Answer 1

Wow it's gone way out of control, clearly you are close to this person, but I think she knows how you feel no need to go crazy. Plus look at gife basket at the store the max number for items is like 20 things. Save the extra for next year, or someone else.

Answer 2

Quality is more important than quantity.  Focus less on building huge piles of things to give and more on getting her things she can truly use and appreciate.  In other words, yes, I would say that it is good of you to scale this gift basket down somewhat.
