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.
--------------------
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
