I started it to save money (you can buy more stuff for the money than what comes in those pre-made gift sets) but I'm really getting into it! You can make them much more personal too. For my dad I am making a basket with barbeque sauces and for my brother I am making one with movies and popcorn and I even found some of those movie box candies at wal mart (only 97 cents each!) and a big popcorn bowl to put it in.

I love to do this too. You're right its so much more personal than the premade baskets are. I have done many baskets so I'll just name a few. Pasta Dinner: 1. Big bowl (used as basket) 2. Box of pasta 3. 2 Jars of sauce 4. Parmesan cheese (in the shaker) 5. A wooden spoon 6. A pair of tongs 7. A dish towel Snow Day: (Always fun for kids) 1. A big coffee mug 2. Sudoko or crossword books 3. A puzzle 4. Hot cocoa or apple cider mix 5. Cookies 6. A movie 7. A scarf and gloves Chocolate lover: 1. Hot cocoa 2. Coffee mug or travel mug 3. Chocolates 4. Chocolate covered nuts 5. Chocolate covered pretzels 6. A chocolate scented candle 7. Chocolate scented lotion/ bubble bath Bookworm: 1. A set of original books (Pride and Prejudice, The Secret Garden, The Chronicles of Narnia, Tarzan of the Apes, etc.) 2. A tea cup 3. Tea bags 4. A fancy book mark 5. A reading light 6. Gift card to Barnes and Noble Romantic Evening 1. 2 wine glasses 2. A bottle of wine 3. Chocolates 3. Crackers 4. Cheese 5. A romantic movie (I like classics myself) Hope this helps!
