Mini Bagels w/ Cream Cheese Spreads - Butter - Preserves

Many bagel stores offer mini bagels or will with a little notice. Place mini bagels in a basket and surround with whipped butter, a variety of preserves such as strawberry, apricot and blueberry and some cream cheese spreads.
I usually have three cream cheese spreads on hand for a brunch. Plain - Vegetable - Scallion (these are perfect if I am offering smoked salmon, if not then I would make a cream cheese and lox spread too).
