For x-mas I want to make gift baskets?

What should I put in them? I don't want to spend a lot of money like I did last year on one specific gift for each member of my family. Where do I buy cheap baskets. Should I just buy cheap nice stuff from the dollar store and put it in each basket

The dollor store acutally has some cute little baskets cheap. They have stuff you can make a bath basket or a kitchen basket. A baby basket, pet stuff. Last yr I even found some cute slippers and sweats for toddles. You can make some nice baskets from the dollor store.
Reply:My local Goodwill store has an entire aisle of baskets for very cheap. That's where I would go.





As far as what to put in them, why don't you bake some cookies, muffins, fudge, etc?
Reply:I think that when giving gifts that it has to be something that people like . if you make baskets they still will have to be each family member specific liking. I would do gifts card or you should do what we do in our family we draw names that way you are not buying all those gifts. It is something to ask them and the best part people are always wondering who has the name . p.s don't forget to set a limit on what you spend.
Reply:sure my aunt does this all the time! Usually she get's us perfume and cologne and some nice things from the dollar store you'll be surprised what you can find. (my mom works for one) :) so go ahead why not?
Reply:nice and dollar store do not go together.
Reply:A dark red wicker basket, put a layer of green and red checkered fabric on the bottom, but make sure it's noticable, and stuff it with candy canes, See's Christmas Candy, ribbon candy, and the cheap chocolates wrapped with foil that look like people. Then put a medium sized santa in a corner, and tie a green ribbon to the side where the Santa is. My friend did that a couple years back
Reply:You can get fast food coupons, movie rental coupons. Small lotions for the women.


You don't necessarily need baskets.


One year my sister did theme ones. She gave me a very large popcorn bowl (plastic with snowmen) and put in it several microwave popcorn, some candy and a couple of movie rental coupons.


You could do hot chocolate ones: hot cocoa mix, marshmallows, maybe a magazine or a book and a mug, of course.
Reply:bake some cookies and put that in tin cans find decorative tins their cheaper than baskets and also you can put candy in some good luck im doing gift cards this year
Reply:I MAKE THEM ALL THE TIME. I GET MY BASKETS AT GARAGE SALES. I BUY SHREDDED PAPER AT A CRAFT STORE. AND I USUALLY PUT A FEW NICER THINGS IN LIKE I AM MAKING BATH AND BODY WORKS G/B'S THIS YEAR AND PUTTING WASH CLOTHES I'M GONNA MAKE INTO ANIMALS AND A SCRUBBY SPONGE. THIS IS IMPORTANT. DON'T FILL THE BOTTOM OF THE BASKET WITH THE SHREDDED PAPER. IT IS EXPENSIVE THAT WAY. FILL IT WITH CRUMBLED NEWPAPER FIRST TO PUFF IT UP, THEN COVER THAT WITH ENOUGH SHREDDED PAPER TO COVER IT. THEN PLACE THE ITEMS ON TOP IN A NICE PATTERN. THEN WRAP WITH CLEAR WRAP AND A BOW. VUALA! GOOD LUCK.
Reply:You can usually get cheap baskets at the dollar stores. Then go to the health clinic and get free condoms to put in them. That says have a merry x-mas, AND be safe :)
Reply:That would be a good idea. You might be able to find cheap baskets at the dollar store. Or try walmart.
