hi, here are some suggestions for baskets (from this board [img]smile.gif[/img] )
Here are a few Class basket ideas that I have seen at recent auction:
Birthday To Go- with wraped gift items for a certain age group like 4-6 year olds
Tied In Knots - with men's ties
For The Kitchen - kitchen tools and utensils
Rainy Days - fun activities for kids to do on a rainy day
A Spirited Exchange - basket of various wines
A Bundle Of Joy - baby shower gifts for a parent to be
You Ought To Be In Pictures - with a camera and film, albums, frames
Life's Simple Pleasures - a fluffy robe, scented candles, bath & body products
Bob The Builder - videos and toys
Bread And Chocolate - bread mixes, chocolates, etc.
The Three R's - puzzles, games, books
We did a family fun night basket. It included games such as monopoly and uno, microwave popcorn,
pizza gift certificate to a local pizza place, 2 free movie rentals, and a couple of 2liters of pop. It was very popular. For our fun fair I was thinking of putting together a school spirit basket with different spirit items. Last year we were able to get a family membership to the Chicago Museum of Science and Industry donated which we should have made a science basket with different experiments along with the membership.
Lawn & Garden Basket:Small garden tools, seed packets, gloves, etc.
Auto Basket : Prepaid gas cards, oil changes, air fresheners, road map, & car washes.
Italian Dinner : Pasta, Sauce, Bread Mix, Napkins, pasta spoon, small spice jars.
I am now in the habit of coping/pasting EVERYTHING that might come in handy someday. I'll look through my pta files and post whatever might be handy. Maggie
