i was thinking that a cute idea for christmas eve would be to have a raffle for small gift baskets. i don't have that much money and our extended family will be coming over. i think there should be a couple of baskets. everyone is aged 4 to about 60. there are lots of parents in their 50- 60s and then theres some 20 year olds. a couple of teenagers. a grandma whose in her 80s. and a 4 and 8 year old. how many gift baskets do you think i should make? and what themes should they be? =) thankyou and happy early holidays!
--------------------
The amount of baskets you make depend on three things How much money you have to spend, How many people are going to be there, and how many people you want to get a basket. For the 4 and 8 year old you can make them their own special basket with a coloring books, crayons, stickers, stuffed animal, and a small toy or you can just have the baskets for the adults. Basket Ideas Santa's Goodies-Hot chocolate, Christmas Mug, and homemade cookies and other sweets. Gingerbread-Gingerbread cookies, Gingerbread man cook book, whisk, and a gingerbread scented candle. Cold Winter's Night-Fleece Blanket, hot chocolate, Christmas mug, candle and or a pair of one size fits most gloves Movie Night-Popcorn, candy bar, soda, cheap Christmas movie, or tickets to the movies. Christmas-Small Christmas decorations, ornament, hot chocolate, Christmas mug, Christmas CD or Christmas movie. You can buy everything I mentioned from the Dollar Store and try to buy items that you get more then one item so you can use it in more then one basket like the hot chocolate. Edit: My husbands family have a raffle every year and then the money is saved and used for the following year for food, drinks, baskets for next year, etc. so one person isn't stuck paying for everything and so they can plan for next year and get items when they are on sale.
