Gift Basket ideas for a person just getting a car?

My brother is just turning 16 and I want to make him a gift basket of items that he can use in his car. Examples: Air fresheners, First aid kits, car cleaners, an ice scraper. I am looking for some other creative ideas. Any suggestions???
--------------------
You already have the right Idea, You might get him a small tool kit, battery charger cables, a good flashlight, get a few gift certificates to a car wash, get one of those smaller plastic tubs with a lid, put all of it in there and use some jute twine to wind around it ribbon like and tape the card to the top. When he opens it he can keep the plastic tub in his trunk and keep his auto items organized! Remember 16 year olds can always use a gas certificate too!

If your mom gave you a craft gift basket for Christmas would you be offended?

I have bought them a photo album, scrapbook, misc. embillisments and plan on getting paper for them. Would you be offended if you got something like this ? I am on a tight budget this year and hitting all the clearance stuff at Michaels,Hobby Lobby, Joann's has helped alot. Does anyone have any idea's ? I haven't even started buying Christmas yet except for those.
--------------------
If my mom gave me a craft gift basket and it was my hobby, it would be a well appreciated gift. If it wasn't my hobby, it would certainly spark a new found creative side in me. Either way, I think it is a great gift idea. Another idea is to buy them a visa gift card or another type of gift card in which they can buy something that they really want. Hope this helps and I wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas!

My boss helped me to get a promotion. What would be a good thank you gift?

I won't be working with her anymore, so it would be like a Thank You / Parting gift. What kind of gift do you think would be appropriate? Some kind of gift basket?
--------------------
Gifts for that reason are generally not ethical. I don't think I'd do it. Perhaps take her to lunch someday after you have moved on, but that is "iffy" also.

What can I put in a gift basket, need ideas?

It's for a very close friend of mine. She just made 21 and I want the stuff to be baby blue, that's her favorite color. I'm planning to buy this package with different items that you can put on your body and a baby blue teddy bear. Please help me
--------------------
people can get carried away when they just stick with the favorite color. what's more thoughtful would be putting all her favorite stuff. sticking to the details you gave, i would automatically suggest blueberry or mint-scented body bath or cream, body scrub, lotion and cologne. there are gift packages that are readily available with the complete set...which should show you what a common gift idea it is. on the other hand, women can be quite particular about scents so this may be her favorite color but would she actually like the smell enough to use it? putting her favorite cologne, favorite chocolate, favorite snack, book by a favorite author, album by a favorite singer, a pillow or a bath towel in her favorite color would be more personal.

What items from New York City would be good to include in a gift basket to an ex-NYCer that is homesick?

I am visiting a friend in Germany who was born and raised in NYC and is getting homesick. I would love to bring some items over that would remind her of the city. They should be small and not cost prohibitive (no Tiffany jewelry!). I am not from NYC originally, so the only thing I came up with so far is a copy of the Sunday Times---she lived in Manhattan so items from there would be preferred. Thanks!
--------------------
When I visit my brother in California, he always wants me to bring bagels, a pretzel (from a street vendor), a bottle of Fox's U-Bet chocolate syrup, sour pickles, (Germany has better pickles) halvah, ring jells,Junior's Cheesecake and real New York corned beef (it's easy to pack the perishables - I use that blue picnic ice). You can give your friend a Yankees or Mets cap or tee shirt, a coffee table book of New York, a tourist book with descriptions of the Empire State, Statue of Liberty, Times Square, or a novel that takes place in New York, a poster of a favorite area, some "tourist" postcards. A few years ago, I was fishing in Alaska - the bush pilot told us he originally lived in Connecticut and worked in New York before he got fed up with all the noise. He said he'd give anything for New York pizza. I found a humerous greeting card with "pizza seeds"; he got such a kick out of that. Do you think she'd really like the Sunday Times? It's so heavy and it's available on line. If you have time, go to Chinatown and pick up a lot of New York "stocking stuffer" New York specialties - they're very cheap - a miniature Empire State Building, a snowball with a New York view inside, a pin that says "I love New York". I think a basket full of New York things is a very thoughtful gift. Have fun putting it together.

What are good stuff to put in a christmas gift basket for my boyfriends parent's.All advice. Thanks?

I really want them to like me and I want to do something nice for them .
--------------------
You could give them a pointsetta with some fresh cookies around it and a classic christmas movie you could all watch together. You could even throw in a nice christmas drink mix or hot cocoa recipe in a jar ready to be made. And for the kids go and get a bunch of movies, popcorn, and candy and give them the makings for a movie night! Thats always fun. Don't go for gift cards unless you are really desperate or they go with a gift you are giving.

I need a holiday gift message for a business?

I need a holiday message this isn't specific to any religion or holiday. I want to be sure not to offend anyone that receives the gift that doesn't celebrate holidays AND not to offend anyone that does celebrate holidays by being so vague. Oh yea… and it needs to be professional, yet personal :o) This message will be sent to 117 people with a gift basket.
--------------------
a simple thanks in appreciation of your business and have a healthy & prosperous 2009 should do just fine.

What are some nice things to put in a gift basket for a mommy to be?

I'm not really talking baby things, things for her. Stuff she's going to need during her hospital stay, and maybe even something for the new dad too. And advice would be appreciated :) Thanks!
--------------------
Really all she is going to need is necessities to recover which will be given by the hospital. Plus she probably has her bag packed full of stuff! But you could provide some food and snacks because NOBODY likes hospital food!! lol I would also suggest giving her a massage gift certificate or spa gift for later - after she has had the baby for awhile and needs a break!!

What would you put in a gift basket that has the theme, "Curl Up With A Good Book"?

Besides the obvious what else could you put in this type of basket?
--------------------
That sounds like it could be an amazing gift basket! The other ideas seemed great. I don't know how much you want to spend but book pillows are great. You can find them at Borders. They are about 30 dollars but are worth it. I can't tell you have many times I've gotten tired of holding my book a certain way and being very uncomfortable. Maybe put some chocolates in the basket with some cute sweats or pajamas. Maybe a gift card to a book store. If you go to Borders or Barnes & Noble or really any big book store, you will find a lot of cool and less expensive items. I love shopping around those stores, you find the most interesting things. GOOD LUCK.

Vietnamese gift baskets?

I want to send my in-laws a Vietnamese fruit basket with Vietnamese fruits or foods. Does anyone know where I can order one online and get it shipped to them? If it helps, they live in California and North Carolina. I don't want to have to order it internationally, however. Hopefully it can be shipped from somewhere in the US. The fruits are tropical like papaya, mangos, jackfruit (Qu? Mít), Star Fruit (Trái Kh?), Longan (Qu? Nhãn), bananas, guava, waterapple, and others. Thanks! I'll appreciate any help! http://www.vietnameasytravel.com/Tropica…
--------------------
hmm I'm not sure. Not a lot of places specializes in fruit baskets like that because it can probably go bad and the fruits that you are talking about are pretty seasonal and hard to get and are usually through international shipments. I would suggest for you to go to the place that prints Vietnamese weekly ad magazines called "Thang Mo" or "Thang bom"...at least they had probably help you out a bit. I knwo they specialize in these orders a lot in Vietnam but not much here since those are tropic fruits and all.

What do I do if my boyfriend buys me a really expensive gift, but I bought him something cheap?

For Christmas, I bought my boyfriend a hoodie and made a gift basket with a few items in it. He told me that he bought me something that he could not return and that he is going to go all out. I am afraid my gifts for him are going to look dinky and insignificant to what he gets me. I don't make a ton of money. What should I do?
--------------------
Make him dinner or his favorite dessert as well as the gifts that way you're putting in some effort, too.

how do you get the cellophane to stand up if your using a gift basket with no handle?

also how do you shrink it?
--------------------
You can't shrink cellophane. There is a shrink wrap you can buy that you use a hair blower to shrink it. Getting the cellophane to stand up-you just gather it like a pony tale and tie a bow around it.
