I have very close friends who are heading to a secluded cabin for the weekend. I'd like to send a gift basket along with them. Does anyone have any ideas of what I might put in there? I have thought of junk food and magazines but any other ideas?
--------------------
--Flashlight (just in case) --Cheese and crackers or a s'mores kit (graham crackers, chocolate, marshmallows) --A wine bottle / 2 beer bottles / wine coolers (if they are over age) or snapples / cokes / sparkling waters (if underage) -- don't forget a bottle opener if necessary --A disposable camera, in case they want to remember the trip --if they are girls, how about those fuzzy slipper socks so they can relax in comfort Hope that helps!!

Ideas for gift basket?
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?
--------------------
What does your step mother like? What are her hobbies? What are her favorite foods? Does she like salty or does she like sweets? Does she scrapbook, do photography, is she a Christian, does she collect anything, does she like wine, etc?? These are the sorts of questions to ask yourself about her and once you answer them, you'll know exactly what to put in a gift basket to her. The best thing to do is to find a container that fits with the theme and is reusable. Something other than just a basket or a box.

I am a new strat up company is it okay not to take credit crads?
Hi i am starting a gift basket company. In these hard times I do not feel safe taking credit cards. Is it okay to ask for only personal checks or money orders before i ship product out? With my company you get to choice every item for the baskets. I just put them together and ship them. The reason i am getting into this, is because i love to shop and to give gifts. Please let me know what you think.
--------------------
well, most people pay online with credit cards, so from a business standpoint that could definitely damage your sales, paying with a credit card is simple and easy (for most) and definitely the simplest method. hope that helps.

A really neat thing for a unique and adorable baby gift is called "Bebe Doos Perfect Ponies." It's a little headband with ponytails attached and even little bows with a swarovski crystal in the middle. I know it sounds crazy, but at least check out the pictures at one of the websites below: http://www.artfire.com/users/BellaAspire (You can buy them here) http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?lis… (Or here) http://www.facebook.com/pages/Bebe-Doos-… (Facebook Page) http://twitter.com/BebeDoos (Twitter Page) www.bebedoos.com (this site is under construction, though) Here is the description from the website: These baby pigtails with headband, give baby girls a new cute look. They are the most unique new baby accessory. Bebe Doos© Perfect Ponies are so much fun! These fake hair pigtails headbands actually look very natural. Most people believe it's their real hair! Watch "18 Kids & Counting" to see Jordyn Duggar wearing our Ponytail/ Pigtails Headband. Also seen in Oct 2009 People Magazine on Jordyn Grace Duggar. This pigtails headband started as a fun little project and now has grown to a great little business. They are now sold in 7 states and 12 stores. To see a list of stores that carry them visit: BebeDoos.com. Bebe Doos© Perfect Ponies is PATENT PENDING. They have also been safety tested and passed all new baby product laws as of Aug. 14th. These ponytail headbands come in 3 hair colors: Blonde, Frosted and Dark Brown. The ribbon is available in several colors: White, Black, Shocking Pink, Pink, Lavender and for a limited time Red. If there is another color you would like, special orders are available. When ordering please specify which color combination you would like. Every Ponytail Headband will come on a white band that is 14" long relaxed, this lace elastic band is soft and easily stretches to fit a two year old...maybe even three! :) Thanks for looking!!! :) ___________ Hope this helps!

Price for gift basket?
What is the HIGHEST you'd pay for a gift basket? Do item brand names of the items with the basket matter? Is it easier just to go and buy a different gift?

I volunteered to help with a charity but i think what they are asking of me is kinda weird... agree?
I volunteered to help with a charity at my job and we are raising money by auction off gift baskets.. they asked me to go around to various stores and restaurants and ask for donations (mainly gift cards or small items). Is this something restaurants normally do? I have a feelings im not going to have any luck and Im going to have to come back empty handed.. do restaurants really do this??
--------------------
I understand your reluctance to ask businesses to donate when you think the request might be considered inappropriate. This could reduce the effectiveness of your soliciting efforts. To counter this, I recommend that you *not* request donations from the 1st couple of places you visit. Instead, interview the owners or mgrs to discover why they consider giving gift cards to be good for business. Is it merely a matter of being good members of the community? Do donations bring in new business? How do they prefer to be contacted? If you explain that you are new at doing this, & are seeking information & advice, my guess is that you w/not only understand why business owners are supportive, but become much better & more comfortable w/your role as a volunteer. Tips: (1) Businesses that depend on repeat customers are the most likely to support your charity by donating. Try hair & nail salons, spas, tanning booth operators, car washes, chiropractors, lube stations, etc. (2) Look in the back of your Yellow Pages to see who is currently offering coupons. If a business is advertising for new customers, they are more likely to welcome your solicitations. Good luck & great gift baskets!

At Walmart where the Beauty Spa Gift Sets are.........?
Has anyone purchased any gift set yet? You know when you first walk in and near where the hair care section is and then there's a long table like and it's filled with Spa Gift Baskets in every size. I think there's a whole aisle of them also. But I wanted to know if anyone has purchased one yet? And if so, which one do you think is perfect and all. I was thinking about buying one for myself but, I don't know what kind to get.

I am going to start my own on-line business, but I need help with the ideas. Can anyone help me?
I want to start an on-line business selling a ton of different crafts, crafts for holidays and special occassions. gift baskets, crocheted baby and adult blankets, and homemade baked goods. Every item would be made to order and guarenteed fresh. But I don't know if anyone would be interested in purchasing these things on-line. Should I just sell crafts that I make and leave out the baked goods, or do both? I need to know if the idea would work. Please give me your feedback, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you

What is a good corporate gift to send clients without breaking the bank? I want a unique corporate gift idea?
I have 12 clients that I want to acknowledge with a gift but I don't want another wine & cheese basket. They are way to expensive and clients don't remember them because everyone else sends them. I want to spend $40 or under but not look cheap. I know, this is a tough one. Thanks cfl
--------------------
I agree about the wine and cheese type basket. Even though they are nice, companies receive so many that after the first couple arrive they forget who set them. Since you mentioned this is for clients, I assume you have competitors all looking to get your client's attention so it is important to stand out and make sure the client remembers the gift came from you. The best corporate holiday gift I have received was a really unique corporate gift idea. It was a very nice basket but it was loaded with very fancy Rice Krispies Treats. They tasted incredible but also looked fantastic. I still remember the company that sent it and now I send them to my clients and family. You can go online to The Crispery and see what you might like. People seem to love these things because they remind them of when they were kids. Oh yeah, the best part is they are very inexpensive but not cheap! You will definitely be able to stay within that $40 range. Best of Luck, Mike

What would be a good 1 year anniversary gift?
My boyfriend and I will be together for one year in a month and I really want to get him something special that he can keep forever, but I'm not sure what would be a good gift? I've gotten him an Easter basket for Easter and filled it with candies and such and he appreciated that even though it was a little child-ish, but this is a big deal for us and I want him to remember it. Any ideas?

How about give the gift of Good Luck? A good luck key ring that he will have with him all the time to remember you by A best friend is like a four leaf clover.. .hard to find and lucky to have " SJP sex in the city... http://www.fourleafclovergoodluckcharms.…

movie gift certificates, cozy socks, a cozy throw, lots of snacks...but i wanted to come up with a cute little poem to put with the basket...can anyone think of anything i should write?
--------------------
So you can be nestled all snug in your socks, On a cold winter's night as you eat snacks from a box, Enjoy a great movie on your own special night, While outside it's quite cold and could be quite white! Think of the person who gave you this present, Who thinks you're just wonderful and even quite pleasant! Your Santa's a secret and that's just how it's done, But know that a friend has wished you some fun :) Merry Christmas from your Secret Santa!

Anyone good with gift ideas?
I've only been talking to this guy for a few weeks, so I don't wanna get him anything extreme or too expensive. His birthday is coming up, he's turning 21. He is a breakdancer, he's into cars, and chocolate lol. I'm 19... any ideas? :/ I'm making a gift basket with different little simple things in it, but if you have another idea, please tell me!

I have a brilliant idea for you. Since he loves chocolate, you can gift him chocolate covered fruit like chocolate covered strawberries. Here is a link: http://www.dippedfruit.com/fruit-baskets… You will like these chocolate strawberries, and he will like the gift too.
