Birthday gift basket theme ideas for my mom?

I am thinking about making a themed gift basket for my mom for her birthday and the only two ideas I have came up with are a pamper yourself basket or a movie night basket. I have some ideas of what to put into each, but just looking for other ideas from you guys on what could go into each basket and also what other basket ideas do you have or have personally done or recieved! Thanks so much.

Birthday gift basket theme ideas for my mom?
I have made a lot of baskets professionally and personally. Pamper and Movies are a very popular theme. I think the key is in what you put in it and how well you theme it.





For example - Pamper Basket


Typical items such as lotions, scrubs, etc


Tools - loofahs, bath brushes, toe separators etc


Soothing Scented Candles


CD of relaxation music


Chocolate or herbal teas


Bath Pillow, towels


Pedicure items


a fun book or magazine to read in the tub


The key is the container as well - get creative - baskets are hardly ever reused unless very nice. Try something useful such as a pretty bathroom trash bin, a foot spa tub








Movie Baskets a super fun!





I try to include the persons favorite things


Candy, nuts, beverages, and of course popcorn. Popcorn can be the popping bags, or gourmet pre made such as chocolate covered.


Popcorn toppings such as cheese


Movie tickets


Dvd's of fav movies (can even theme such as girly movies and include tissues)


Include a snuggling blanket for curling up on the couch


A book the movie was based on





Getting creative with containers on this theme is great too, such as a big popcorn bowl and include the indvidual popcorn cups.





A few other popular baskets I do are:





Tea basket - with tea pot and cups, teas, cookies etc on a tea tray





Coffee lovers, coffee or cappuccino cups, coffees, flavored stirrers etc





Chocolate theme - all things chocolate with a fun "chocoholic gift item"





Italian theme - in a large metal strainer or pasta bowl - all the trimming for an italian night, pastas, sauces, oils, kitchen tools, towels, bread sticks, cook book etc





Breakfast theme, all the breakfast fixing, pancake mix, muffin mix, kitchen tools, syrups etc with a nice griddle





Game Night - board and card games, snacks, couch blanket etc





Casino night (great if you have a casino near you) vegas themed items, coins/ money for gambling, tickets to a show or dinner at casino etc





Hope this helps some, if you come up a set plan let me know, I can offer lost more suggestions

They do great and affordable hand made paintings from your favorite photograph. What I liked of them is that they at reeeeaally good at capturing the physical likeness. I was very impressed with the results. In addition to portrait paintings they also do paintings of pets, landscapes and anything that means something to you (like your first car, favorite vacation spot, etc). They’re the nicest people… because I was late with her gift they even hand made a custom card to notify my mother that a special gift was coming her way. I highly recommend them.


Best wishes!!

Reply:My mom is into flower gardening %26amp; house plants. I got her a new plastic bucket (%26amp; decorated it; she has watering cans) with seed packets, new gardening utensils and an potted plant. Another time was taking her to the falls in our park and to the butterfly house. She is not into movies, pamper yourself, or fix yourself up stuff like perfumes, etc...





I collect sea shells. So a sea shell basket or a hanging planter made of sea shell plus flower seeds or gift certificate to a greenhouse would be great for me.





Go with your mom's personal tastes, hobbies, etc...
Reply:Does she like cheeses? Does she garden? Does she have a hobby? Is she into exercising? Does she enjoy reading? Does she enjoy music?
