What would you add to these to make a unique gift?
I got my order from old navy today and I got two pairs of the same color flip flops. I was just going to take them to a store and exchange them but i think Im going to use to to make up a gift basket for my sister who graduates tomorrow. They are purple (her favorite color) So my question is, what are some things I can put together in a basket to make her gift?
--------------------
if she's older and is graduation from high/college, then get her something she will use a lot. not earrings or a ring because her boyfriend should give her that. give her things like a magazine, makeup set, you live with her so you should know if she's younger and is graduating in middle/elementary then get her earrings/rings because chances are she doesn't have a boyfriend or anyone to get her that. don't bust your watt over a gift but don't make it cheesy, remember, you should know the best

What are some inexpensive items to put together for a mens gift basket?
My girlfriend and I are having a small party with games and drawings. We need some ideas to use for a mans gift basket for the drawing.
--------------------
Risky gave good answers. I especially like the boxer idea. Also good are novelty lighters, pocket Constitutions, gag gifts, and interesting but unusual magazines or books.

I'm looking to send a nice (but not too expensive!!) gift basket to some family for Christmas that live out of state. So far I'm happy with all that I've sent from Wine & Country, but I'd like to have a bit more to chose from this year. What are some good sites to go to?

Ladies: Best toiletries product line (hotel, gift baskets, etc)?
If you were in an upper class boutique hotel, and you saw the toiletry line from a certain company, which would you be most appreciative of? Lotions, soaps, body mists, etc... I want it to be a step up above Bath and Body Works... possibly Crabtree & Evelyn, or taking it up a notch even to L'Occitane. All suggestions welcome...
--------------------
L'Occitane is a favorite, I also like Perlier, Khiel's, Aveeda.

any ideas on what to fill them with, both boys are interested in EVERYTHING lol
--------------------
Fill the baskets with crayons and color books. Candy and hot wheel cars. You can also roll up favorite action hero p.j.'s and put them in the basket. Include a toothbrush and flavored tooth paste for each child. Small books...The list is almost unending.

What is the perfect Christmas gift for a homeroom teacher?
I really want to get my homeroom teacher something nice. She's soooo sweet to us. I'm homeroom president, so I asked everyone in the classroom to bring in $3. So now we have a total of $75. I thought it would be nice to get a $50 American Express giftcard, the ones you can use anywhere. The other $25 could buy her a gift basket. What do you think?
--------------------
the gift card sounds lovely but perhaps instead of a gift basket you could take that $25.00 and get someone to bring in a camera and take a photo of each one of you as well as a class photo - you could put them in a small photo album and decorate the album. something like Class of 2008! she must be a pretty awesome teacher to get this great a gift - but then you must be a pretty awesome class! merry christmas

What do I put on a baby's gift basket?
A really close cousin of mine is having her first baby (girl). I would love to get her many many things; however, I'm short on cash. I would like to make her a really nice gift basket, since I'm very crafty and can make it look great. Any ideas of what I should put in there??
--------------------
What I do is pick a theme. I got my friend a gift basket with a bath theme. I bought a baby bath tub (but not needed, you can use a basket) I put a back of washcloths, then some loation, bath soap. I also got some message oil. I then put some cotton balls, and q-tips. Then some diaper rash cream. You can even put a few bath toys in it. (I went to the dollar store and got a bunch of rubber ducks) Ohh there are so many things you can get. Just pick an amount you are going to spend, head over to walmart, and start buying.

What would be a useful gift for new parents?
My sister-in-law is due any day now and I would like to put together a gift basket of USEFUL items for the new parents. I'm trying to think of things I had to go out and buy (comfy new underwear, hand sanitizer,) or things I would have liked while still in the hospital (a robe,cigar for Daddy). Any one have any good ideas?
--------------------
A gift certificate for 2 months from a housekeeping service, if you can afford it! Definitely gift certificates to local restaurants that have carry out or delivery. Or better yet, homemade meals that she can put in her freezer and just pop in the oven. If she is going to be breastfeeding, some lanolin and nursing pads. If she is going to be bottle feeding, nursing pads would probably still be a good idea for when her milk comes in. Really, the most helpful things to me weren't things. They were services (housekeeping, food, dog walking, etc) or offers to come over and clean or hold the baby while I bathed.

She's going to be 17. I already have a movie for it and some earrings. I don't want to give her makeup or bath salts or lotions. I'm pretty creative also so if you have any ideas let me know.

Any ideas on what to put in a bridal shower gift basket?
I want to get some stuff for the bride like perfume and pjs. Need to fill a basket. Please help.
--------------------
I would get things she will need on her wedding day. Like waterproof mascara (must have), those things that blot oil from your face without removing the makeup. Babywipes, clear deoderant, tissues. Clear nail polish (for the run in the hose, it's inevitable), maybe a sappy romantic poem, a piece of gum (to ease the stress). Stuff that's cheap but she will definetly need. Trust me she will thank you when she rips the panty hose and needs to stop it from running.

What's a good gift for my pregnant sister's birthday..?
She's turning 31 this year (Aug 29th) and her second child is due the first week of September - so i would LOVE to get her something sweet and pampering for her and the baby. We don't know the sex of the baby - and we won't know until birth - so most of the gift baskets I have seen for mom-to-be birthdays seem sex based. Anyone have any great ideas?? Thanks!
--------------------
I'm going to go out on a limb here and assume you know your sister pretty well? Please get her something for just her. My twins were supposed to be born Feb but No they came 2 weeks before my birthday in Jan...lol. And every year has been about them on my birthday. It's like: Hello, I still have birthdays too. Everyone just forgot about me and would only think of the kids. Of course I was just a kid too so it made a huge emotional difference. Now I would say get her a gift that reflects your love and knowledge of her as your sister, and maybe if you want, an extra gift to show support of the baby on the way. And let her know you thought of both. I'm sure she'll have a lot of well wishers thinking of just the baby. But what do you know about her? Would she want a gift aimed at baby or would she want it to be solely for her pleasure? Nothing wrong with either!

Christmas gift ideas business to business?
I work with a small staffing company. We have around 80 clients. Usually we make gift baskets with different types of breads (banana, pumpkin, lemon), candy, calendars, pens, etc... This year we want to do something new. Has anyone received or given a truly amazing gift from/to another company? Remember also, we have to keep costs down! Thanks!
--------------------
Make sure you gift gets to the people you are trying to please. We get huge gifts of fruit, nuts, cookies, etc the receptionist takes them out of the box so people eating them never know who sent them.

(whichever fits your budget) I mean really unique art, not available in retail stores. I've mentioned a link to a hand picked selection of Soccer Art and Gifts, under sources Also they are all customizable, you may customize them with your boyfriend's initials 2) A photo-sculpture of a favorite pic! : I've come across the product where you upload your favorite pic and your Photo is then Cut Out from durable acrylic to Create a One-of-a-Kind special gift / keepsake, a photo-sculpture! Thats not all, you may Choose 5 forms for it : a Sculpture with Stand, Magnet, Pin, Ornament, or Keychain; and you may choose 4 sizes ranging from small to colossal! I'm providing a link to it under sources below 3) Dai Bando Custom Keds : Fully customizable high tops and low tops keds - you may add initials, unlimited text, unlimited photos at no extra charge to the keds - they are great as a jeanswear or for sports I'm providing a link to the Dai Bandos shop under sources below 4) You could visit the 'Create Your Own Now' store and create a personalized gift for your boyfriend.
