I wanted to do themed gift baskets this year but I'm having a hard time ... (my) Aunty, 39, single, live on her own (no kids) - I have a picture of her and my daughter that was taken just yesterday at a pool (we live in Hawaii) .. I was thinking about framing that and giving it to her in a basket .. but with what else?? (my) cousin - 34, single mother, one child (7) - son is a allergic to ALOT of foods .. chocolate, rice, wheat, and alot more ... Mother is allergic to some scented itemed .. any ideas would be helpful cause I'll totally lost with this one. (my) aunty & uncle - mid 50's to early 60's .. live alone - stays home all the time, both doesn't work any more .. no hobby's .. uncle has diabetes **no gift cards** Thanks in advance!!

I think the photos in a frame is a great idea, and could work for all 3 baskets. You said no gift cards, but how about some food coupons to grocery stores, and or eating places. Everybody likes to eat out. Or a "booklet of coupons" that you can make on the computer, offering yourself for homecooked meals, childcare while mom goes out to a restaurant or spa. That sort of thing always worked for me with a wealthy aunt who had everything else, but loves to go to Pizza Hut or a local place. For your aunt and uncle, a "coupon" or gift certificate to a local barbershop or hair salon for a makeover, perm, haircuts, etc. along with some nice hair products from that particular salon. Even if people can afford these things, it's always fun to have somebody else to pay for it !!! Your cousin who is allergic to scented items. Make the basket with unscented candles, lotions, body wash, bath mitt, the framed photo--maybe of the 2 kids together, an ivy plant in a pretty pot. That also may work for your 39 yr old aunty, too. I hope I've helped you some.
