I am not buddhist but my girlfriend is and I had the chance to go to a Thai Temple here in SF Bay Area. Of course, you are supposed to give the monks a gift basket, filled with stuff they would need such as fruits, shaver, toothpaste, etc…etc…
Well, I just happened to see a cool DIY on how to make these cool fruit baskets out of newspaper, maybe I will make one for my girlfriend who can then give it to the monks and keep our karma happy.
