A photo of three crochet treat baskets sitting next to one another on a wooden surface against a red wall. On the right is a Santa version with a Santa suit as the body and two splayed legs with black boots and red trousers with fluffy white trimmings at the ankles. Over the basket the two red arms make the handle, ending in fluffy white trimming at the wrists and white mittens. In the middle is a smaller basket with a white middle around which green Christmas wreaths with red ribbons made from crochet chains are displayed. It has two green Christmas trees with red baubles as the handles and a white tinsel like trimming round the base. ON the left it a basket made to look like Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer with a red nose, fluffy trimming, two big eyes and fluffy trimmed ears and antlers that form the handles of the basket.
