Well, I want to make my own gift basket for my teacher. But I'm not really for sure what she might like. She is 27 so what would she like. I was thinking about a little lotion from B&B and some hot chocolate. Some candy(or no)? And I don't know what else. What is something else I could put in there??
--------------------
A stuffed animal. Flowers. Scratch tickets. A card drawn by yourself. A book. Lotion is good, hot chocolate is perfect. Candy's good too!

How much should a college student spend on a wedding gift?
I'm a college student and a couple of my friends are getting married. I'm not sure how much I should be spending on their gift. I'm making them a basket full of baked goods but I'm not sure whether or not I should add something to that (e.g. something from the registry or a gift card). Any advice?
--------------------
DONT SWEAT IT!! If the couple are friends of yours they will not expect a gift knowing you are on a limited income, and they wont care how much you spend if you do give one. If they balk, I would question their friendship. A baked goods basket is a nice gift for many occasions (I personally love them), however I would maybe give that to them as a house-warming, as they will probably be on their honeymoon right after the wedding. We dont want things to go stale. lol I would check the registry for something in your budget. I helped several of my friends do their registry and we made sure there was a wide range of prices - from $4.95 to $195. Or a card with a Wine and Cheese Basket would be fitting. In Texas, on a 'college budget' buy, you can get a card-$1-2, a bottle of wine-$4-7, a small block of Non-Refrigerated cheese-$2-4, and a small box of biscuit crackers-$2-4. If they do not drink, some prefer a bottle of sparkling water-$3-7. This is on the lower end, about $10-12. Remember to be true to your budget. You will be able to afford the nicer things when you have your degree. And either way, they will still love you!! Raymond

I need some help with some holiday gifts baskets?
I need to get something for my mom for Christmas. She says she wants one of those air fresheners where you put the sticks in them. I've provided a link for a picture...but that's really not a lot of money and I don't want to spend less on her than I did everyone else. Therefore I was thinking a gift basket but I have no idea what to put in it. She's 43 so is there anything anybody can think of that she really might like within spending limit...i'm on a budget of only $30 per person http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.zarahome.com/images/b/8803/070/250/BH/XX/s/9.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.zarahome.com/shop/nl/en/zara-home/product/White%2BJasmine%2BAir%2BFreshener%2BSticks/27927/-1/54968/&usg=__YFDUE-V1EcRGMivbsutWoGDt3FI=&h=391&w=391&sz=12&hl=en&start=6&um=1&tbnid=booN3NqFxT197M:&tbnh=123&tbnw=123&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dair%2Bfresheners%2Bwith%2Bsticks%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26sa%3DNe

Yoga gift basket ideas?
Im putting together a gift for my 19 year old best friend for Christmas. I decided to make it a yoga themed basket. Im gonna get a cute basket and decorate it and put a yoga mat, some yoga/pilates DVD in there, how to book, healthy snacks but I don't know what else, maybe some candles. Any suggestions of things to put in there to fit the theme. Thanks!!
--------------------
Wow, that's a great idea! You are already including lots of things so I don't think you really need to add more but some other ideas are: herbal teas incense burner nag champa incense crystal or other stone she may like om piece of jewelry yoga strap or blocks scrunchies to tie her hair up with a gift card for local yoga classes

If you were given a bottle of homemade vinagrette, what kind would you like to recieve?
I'm going to put together gift baskets for Christmas gifts this year. I want to include a small bottle of a homemade vinagrette in the baskets (for marinade or salad). What are the most liked vinagrettes?... besides Italian (I want something a little less boring). If anyone has ideas for cheap, but nice-looking, bottles for the vinagrette, I'd apprecitate that too!

Birthday gift for the man who has EVERYTHING!?
My Boyfriend's birthday is comming up and I have no idea what to get him. I never do. We have been together for a few years and never get him the greatest gifts. He is hard to buy him anything because if he wants something he buys it himself and if he hasn't already gotten it's because he can't afford it and neither can I. I've done the poem, the gift basket of romantic things, lingere, all of that. I desperately need ideas! My budget is 200 at the most.

Small gift basket for visiting friend?
My best guy friend is coming into town this Saturday, and I haven't seen him in a year. I wanted to make him a small gift basket, because I don't want him to have to lug around common things like shampoo, shaving creame, and conditioner - etc. What are some small little gifts that I can put in here? That would be a necessity. He's 19 & a guy, obviously. Thanks so much! ;D
--------------------
A comb or a brush. If he's not staying in a hotel, then he'll need a washcloth or a loofah and a towel. Some hotels provide shampoo and conditioner but not shaving cream, so that's a good one to put in. Maybe some aftershave. A toothbrush and some toothpaste. Maybe a guy's magazine, like Esquire, would be good.

Bon Voyage Gift Basket Ideas?
My best friend is going on a life changing trip and i want to make her a bon voyage gift basket and i need ideas! Help! She is going to New Mexico so ideas like sun tan lotion etc! Thanks!
--------------------
Journal, photos of people from back home, calling cards, Tums (for the spicy food), lotion and chap-stick (for the dry weather), sunscreen, magazines or other stuff to do during the drive/flight there. Instead of a basket, you could put all the stuff in a travel bag/tote that she could use in New Mexico.

Do you think this is a good gift?
My cousin is pregnant and has been lucky enough to have almost everything she needs given to her, so i am not sure what to buy for her. I was thinking of making up a gift basket containing all the things you use loads of in first months, baby wipes, wash, nappies, nappy cream, milk powder etc and also put in baby blankets, baby grows, bibs and scratch mits. Do you think she will like this?
--------------------
Yes, not doubt about it. Because she will use all the stuff. If she doesn't use it the first month, stuff like the wipes and blankets can be there for hard times.

What gift you gave your mother for mother day?
bath n body work..gift basket my painting of my mother and tennis bracelet
--------------------
I didn't have time to go to the store as I live a while away, so I decided to give her something that would for sure make her laugh. I wrapped up a box in wrapping paper, and when she opened it up, there was nothing in it but a piece of paper that said "A box full of...love. <3 Happy mothers day! :D" She loved it. XD

I need to design a "thank-you" gift basket..?
I have a friend who has been good to me this year. I want to make him a basket that lets him know i appreciate it.. All the ones i see online are to commercial or stuck on one type of product.. chocolate or wine or nibbles.. Was thinking of putting some nice chocolates in, a nice bottle of wine and what else? Suggestions would be great thanks!
--------------------
Why not add a couple of wine glasses, maybe a nice wine opener, wine bottle sleeve to prevent dribble/leakage, wine bottle capper, some biscuits, some wine glass tags, coasters, etc.

Getting To Know You Gift Basket?
I want to put together a gift basket for my ex-fiance (yes you read correctly, we took time apart to work on ourselves but are ready to start fresh!) of things that will help us reconnect and get to know one another better. I was thinking everything from those "About Us" books to games (sexually and intellectually) just fun/romantic things that allow us to spend time together. Any ideas and suggestions would be very helpful and much appreciated! Thanks :)
--------------------
A great book is "The Book of Questions" by Gregory Stock. It gives great questions you can both answer to get to know each other. There is also one specifically for Love and Sex" by the same author. See the links below. Amazon has them for about $7 new.

Teacher graduation gift for friend?
My best friend just graduated with her Education degree. She hasn't lined up a job in the school system yet but plans to. Her graduation is Saturday and I was thinking of doing a gift basket for her with a few different things. I don't know whether to get personal stuff or teacher stuff. Any unique ideas?
--------------------
Why not combine a mix of personal and "teacher" items? For example, you could make a plaque on a mini chalk board. Decorate the basket with rulers and apples etc. and maybe add a "worlds greatest teacher mug" or "how to deal with children" book, but add a few personal touches as well. Have fun with it!

What is a nice gift to send a diabetic who had a heart attack and is being released from hospital today?
One of our employees, who is diabetic, had a heart attack and is being released today. My supervisor wants to send a fruit basket. I don't know if that is ok for a diabetic. What gift can we send if the fruit basket is not feasible?
--------------------
Good thinking. Most fruits are very high in sugar. I would suggest maybe a basket with nuts, sugar free candies, and maybe a little fruit. Also, a package from hickory farms with meat and cheese would be good. Then there is the old stand by of a plant or flowers.

I am not really sure what to get my step-mother for Christmas, so I had the idea to get a purse or a cute basket and fill it up with little neat things. Does anyone have any suggestions or ideas of what to put in the basket? I already figured I would get some lotion & body spray, but I don't want to make a generic gift basket. What would you like to get if someone make you a gift basket?

I Need a name for a unique gift shop with some imported items, some handcrafted candles, and lots of baskets.?
This shop will have lots of grapevine running around the ceiling with mini lights, meditation music and hardwood floors. I need a name that isn't too long, but shows the character of a tranquil, homey shop. The shop will NOT be country kitch, but more one of a kind items, including some home made pottery and gift crates for delivery and online ordering as well. Any help would benefit me GREATLY!!! Thanks all!!
