A couple of nice mugs, coffee, cocoa, and other hot drink supplies make this basket especially tasty. Add some season accents for decor.
Candy, popcorn, drinks (in the back; see video), dvds, a Netflix gift cards... the whole movie theater experience in one big popcorn tub. Once I figure out how to fit nachos with hot cheese in this, I'll be set.
The key to this is family size snacks and multiplayer games. Just add people, and this is the perfect gift.
Bright and colorful, this basket is for anyone who appreciates candy. But, you can also make this with gourmet chocolates, cookies, brownies, or candy apples - anything to satisfy the sweet tooth.
Just a couple of books, cocoa mix, candy, and marshmallows, makes this the perfect gift for an avid reader. Adding seasonal floral accents gives this just the right touch for a reading mood.
Every lady will appreciate a basket full of girly goodies to indulge herself. Loofahs, body lotions, scrubs, eye masks, bath bombs - everything she needs to relax and enjoy herself.
