Reply:Photo albums, wine glasses, candle holders, Picture frames, dvd's or cd (Jazz or R%26amp;B something relaxing), Bath salts or bubble bath, or gift cards. I did gift baskets for my bridesmaids and filled them with things I knew they would like, and also pads of paper with initials on them, I even made a few cards and hand wrote a note and put it on the inside of the basket. They loved it, and I had fun looking and shopping for each of them
Reply:I HAVE IT!!





Try these! Probably best as stocking stuffers or secret santa. They are cheap and don't look it. I used these last year and they were a big hit. Using again this year.

They have a great holiday special going on and their shipping is quick. I just bought a bunch.
Reply:Always include wine glasses (or flutes with Champagne). I also, add almonds(in flavors), a package of pretty napkins and small plates. You can also add a few singles of microwave popcorn. I call it a New Year's Eve basket. A pretty little picture frame is nice. I've also included disposable cameras in some of mine. I know a lot of folks have gone digital, but sometimes it's nice to have a disposable to keep in your car or brief case. Gift cards for Starbucks($5.00 each)are a nice surprise to find when looking through a goody basket.
Reply:What about bubbles or bath salts. Some of those bath salts made from dead sea salts. They are really wonderful. You could put a gift certificate to your local masseuse for a 30 minute massage or even a chair massage. What about lotions for all mens could be unscented. Hope this helps.
Reply:Why not cheeses? Are they allergic or don't like them? Cheese and crackers would go nicely with the wine and chocolates. How about some hard candies, chocolate covered pretzels? Maybe a couple of nice wine glasses for each basket? Some of the wine bottle charms, and charms for the glasses? A CD of holiday music?
Reply:Maybe some sort of lotion for the ladies also?


I'm never good at buying guys presents.
Reply:I do this every yr cause you cant go wrong,i bought my basket some exotic cheese,wine,summer sausage,aplle cider,and 2 wine glasses at the dollar store,while i was there i bought really nice tissue paper,oh and exotic mustard and hard salomi,all together around $60.
Reply:Small gift books, such as from Running Press.





If they're "believers", charms or icons or holy cards or bookmarks related to their beliefs.





Generic amusing bookmarks.





Candles in tins so a book of matches can be stored in the tin with the candle for actual emergency use. The candle should be *poured* in the tin so there's no fussing with "mounting" the candle when the electricity is off. It's nice if the tin can double as a paperweight or something other than a dust-catcher until it's needed.





A small or large Swiss Army knife or similar for emergency use. It's also red and will look cute on a high tree branch (out of child reach). They're also availabe in *blue* and in black. See link below.





I think of such things as "stocking stuffers", but gift baskets aren't as religion-specific.





If they don't have cel phones, a cheap cel phone with 1 year's service, just for on-road emergencies. This is price-y, but different. If they like it, they can renew or upgrade themselves.
