Who doesn't love good gift baskets? They contain a variety of goodies for your party guests or they work equally as well for birthday gifts. And gift baskets are extremely versatile; you can present a themed gift basket for just about any occasion. Remember the Easter bunny brings gift baskets too. You can make a simple gift basket for your friendly neighborhood dog lover or dog. Go out and buy some cheap squeakers and chew toys. Maybe pick up a rawhide bone or tasty treat or two. If you know the dog's favorite dog food buy a bag or cans of it. For a fun container find a smallish cardboard box that will hold everything. Decorate the outside with bone shapes cut out of newspaper and write in black marker, 'free to good home' on the front. Then crunch up a lot of newspaper and place in the bottom to support the items. Arrange them in the box and wrap the whole thing in clear cellophane with a big white, grey or rawhide colored bow on top. For your next bachelorette or bridal shower party gift, make up a naughty basket. You may have to venture into an adult store for some of the items. Buy your friend a year's subscription to playgirl magazine and put the first issue inside the basket. There are flavored lotions and powders you can buy in the stores. Buy and open a box of condoms to scatter around the basket. For a more romantic tone you can also add incense and candles. For a more outrageous basket, buy a blow up penis and use it as the centerpiece of the gift basket. Place items inside the basket and wrap it in red cellophane. Of course there are plenty of family friendly kinds of gift baskets you can make for your friends and relatives, just think about what they like and what their hobbies are. |
