Deer hunters gift basket?

I find that the guys in this section are knowledgeable and great for helping me find gifts so heres a new one: For christmas I always put together some kind of gift basket/box of small gifts for my fiance. This year I want to get him a hunting/fishing one. I am going to get him a subscription to Deer and Deer Hunting magazine (I heard that was one of the best) but I dont know what other smaller, yet not high priced things to put into that basket. He likes realtree and white tail hunting. I was thinking of getting him nice hunting gloves but dont know what to look for? A gift card isn't really the best idea, you would have to know him to get why haha. Oh, and I have a Cabelas 40 mins from me so I will most likely be heading there for most of the gifts.
--------------------
The best place for you to find stuff like this is walmart. I do 90$ of my hunting shopping there because the stuff is cheap. The best advice I can give you is to go there and look. Most of the little essentials are under ten dollars. You can do the same thing for fishing, but it will be cheaper. Al the fishing stuff is on clearance and on sale since most people don't fish during the winter.

Gift Basket Idea for Job Placement Worker?

I want to get a gift for a lady who helps dental workers to get temporary jobs. I was thinking of making a gift basket with office stuff in it like pens, staplers, Post Its, notebook paper, etc, but I think she might have all that. I don't know her very well unfortunately. I was thinking maybe I should just go generic and put together a movie package type of gift basket with popcorn, tea bags, crackers, and some movies that I copied, although that idea might seem kind of cheap. Some movie ideas would be great as well. I was thinking of giving her a copy of Kung Fu Panda, and some IMAX movies.
--------------------
I wouldn't give her illegally copied films but the movie/popcorn basket is a good idea. Or a coffee/starbucks basket. Other ideas: Fuzzy socks Books, Mug, Hot chocolate, marshmallows Gift card to like a coffee or juice place (jamba juice) nice ornaments a lock of brad pitts mustache etc...

WHAT CAN I PUT WITH SALSA AS A GIFT?

I WAS THINKING ABOUT MAKING SALSA IN A NICE JAR AND MAKING A GIFT BASKET FOR XMAS??? IS THIS LAME? ALSO, WHAT WOULD YOU PUT IN THE BASKET...CHIPS???????BOWLS, ETC?
--------------------
I've seen (now I live in Texas) nice "Mexican Hat' bowls where you put the salsa inside and the chips surrounding the salsa. They are a bit big for a cute little bag, tho. You can try tortillas or a special brand of a small bag of chips. Guacamole or a nice pita breads would be good, too. I've seen hundreds of reasons to eat salsa. My son in law eats it on eggs for breakfast and steak with dinner. Even GRITS! (Gotta love Texas). How about a nice recipe for a 7 layer salad or enchiladas with a cream sauce? Just getting hungry.

music themed christmas gift basket for 12 year old girl?

ok so i'm kinda running low on money this year so i have a budget of $20 for a gift for my little sister. i was thinking of making her some time of gift basket :). so, she LOVES to sing, and she just started playing guitar. she also loves clothes and the mall (no gift cards though), and she loves taylor swift (but we already have all her songs). and she pretty much likes anything a 12 year old girl WOULD like. so, if anyone has any suggestion as to what i can put in the gift basket for under $20, i would appreciate it. thanks!
--------------------
Does she have an iPod or an MP3 player? If she does, maybe you can buy her some new headphones or a case for it? :)

DIY Gift Basket Ideas?

Every year for Christmas, me and my boyfriend exchange gifts with our best couple friends. I buy for the girl, my bf buys for the guy. We;ve been doing this with the same couple for 3 years now. This year I wanted to try something different and put together a cool gift basket for her. So far all I have is 4 black martini glasses. I want it to be really cool and chic but am stumped on what I can add, any ideas? I got the glasses for a steal, all 4 for $10 and theyre really cool, I was thinking of maybe going with a black and white theme or something, but Im up to hearing any suggestions. Im a little hesitant about scented things cause Im not sure if she'd like whatever scent it is that I pick out. What do you think would be cool things to put in the basket? She's 22 if that helps.
--------------------
if you want to go with like a cocktail theme to go with the glasses check out swoozies!! it might seem a little pricey depending on what you consider expensive, but since you got the glasses so cheap why not!!? they have super cute happy hour cocktail napkins that are HILARIOUS and they'll have them themed for christmas too!! lots of cute cups and plates...check it out!! good luck!

--------------------
I know this is scented, but you could try organic or hand made soaps, there are some stores that have really nice ones. You could try desert toppings (like really nice chocolate or mango topping). A small parstle of more expensive chocolates from a choc place. Some jewellery, earrings, bracelette, necklace. A gift voucher or CD etc Something homemade (cookies/card/art etc) Bottle of wine or champagne or other drink. Something to compliment the glasses, like plates, candles or cocktail mixer drinks (in sachets) that can be used with the glasses. Bath stuff, like a robe. If she is into toys, like teddy bears, Look around there are some nice ones.

Thoughtful gift basket?

Thoughtful gift basket? ive done this question before and was hoping to get some more ideas. i want to do a gift basket for my dad. Things that remind me of him and what he has done for me. some that i have right now chocolate kisses for his kisses pennies for all the sense he has given me lifesaver because he is one starburst because he is a burst of energy bandaids when he was there for me when i was hurt mini tissues for when i was crying nuts for all the crazy times weve had frame of us gloves for him protecting me and being warm eraser to forget all the silly arguments candle so i can always find my way back home quarters to stay in touch (even though im a freshman in high school) batteries because he keeps me going tools because he always keeps me going watch for all the times weve spent together Does anyone have any more ideas? i just want to get a few more please and thank you :)
--------------------
It sounds to me like the best thing you could do is to make a small photo album and write all of this into a careful note with the basket.

Isn't it totally stupid to be spending so much money for gift basket full of jams, cookies, cheese, crackers, ?

candy, cakes, etc. when you can get those ingredients separately and make your own basket for about two thirds less in price.
--------------------
yea and when you make it yourself it tastes better

Gift basket contents ideas?

Hey,,, So im making a gift basket for my friend for christmas. I thought this was the best idea seen as there is a group of us doing secret santa and we're only spending €30 each!!... But i don't know what to put in2 the gift basket!!.... I was thinking like cute flannel PJ's, some slippers, cocoa, a cute mug, some chocolate, a DVD or two...... Kinda like a sleepover/winter night in theme!!... but i don't know what else to put in,,,, ideas please!!.... also does anyone know where i could buy some cute cheap PJ's and slippers??.... Peace Out!!.... Oh BTW, my friend is a mature 16 year old girl!!...
--------------------
Can't help you with where to shop as I am in the US but your idea is very cute. Since she is 16 you might consider adding something cosmetic. Add products that let her do a facial or some lotion. She should be very happy....I'd love to receive that basket myself!

I bought my wife a Bath Products Gift Basket, now she won't leave the bathroom!?

For Christmas I got my wife a bath and beauty gift basket, with over 50 various products like gel, fizzy balls, bubble bath, a bath pillow and candle, etc.... NOW SHE WON'T EVER GET OUT! She takes an hour long bath every day, sometimes twice a day. And it's the only bathroom in the house. What can I do?
--------------------
Be happy you got her a gift she really, really likes. Instead of complaining, go in there with her. You might discover it is a really nice way to spend an hour of your day. I love nothing more than to run a bubblebath and relax with my hubby in it for awhile. Have fun!

Need some ideas for New York foods we can ship?

We recently moved to Northern New York and for Christmas would like to ship some "New York" food/goodies to our family members in other states (since none of them have been to NY before). Any ideas? We don't want to send premade gift baskets- woud like more "authentically NY" ideas. I found Zabar's and will probably get some items there- any other ideas where I could order online for shipping?
--------------------
Probably your Kroger stores would know or do it for you. Ship dried dried goods or cakes overnight if you can.

Would you prefer a round or square bar of soap?

Fun gift for a seven-year old?

I want to give my seven-year old nephew something fun and different. I know he will be receiving a lot of legos and other "boy" toys. I thought of a gift basket with some activity kits and candy.
--------------------
I'm happy to learn you're planning on giving something unique to your nephew for his birthday. I suggest you include the following in the gift bag you're making for him: activity and game books published by Klutz. I've given away many as gifts and bought others for use in my work as an educator. Here are my recommendations: The Book of Classic Board Games http://www.klutz.com/catalog/product/410… The Klutz Book of Paper Airplanes http://www.klutz.com/catalog/product/114… The Klutz Book of Paper Airplanes - extra paper http://www.klutz.com/catalog/product/124… A Super-Sneaky, Double-Crossing, Up, Down, Round & Round Maze Book http://www.klutz.com/catalog/product/211… The following are recommended for ages 8 and up, but they still get my vote: The Klutz Yo-Yo Book http://www.klutz.com/catalog/product/110… Explorabook http://www.klutz.com/catalog/product/310… Earthsearch http://www.klutz.com/catalog/product/310… I also suggest you consider buying him some books, including almost any title from the "I Spy" series from Jean Marzollo and Walter Wick, and the "Where's Waldo?" books by Martin Hanford. http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss_b/103-… http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss_b/103-… I also recommend the following pop-up books (yes, pop-up books). I bet you even at his age he will appreciate the uniqueness of these two books by David A. Carter: http://www.amazon.com/One-Red-Dot-Childr… http://www.amazon.com/Blue-Pop-up-Book-C…

How to get a tight fit wrap with cellophane..?

I am making gift baskets for christmas... When I am done and ready to wrap the baskets I want to use cellophane. how do I get it tight around the baskets? Almost like shrinking it? Can I use a blow dryer? Or Do I have to buy the real thing? Any help or suggestions are welcome!
--------------------
You have to use the special "shrink wrap" style of cellowrap to make that work and it's really not that expensive. I think a roll runs around $4 and if I'm recalling correctly, I managed to wrap about 8 small food baskets with that. Of course, what we do for dinner auctions at our school is to buy clear cellowrap with a bit of an holiday image on it and wrap the items that way. For a 12 x 12 items (for example) you cut a sheet that measures 24 x 24. Place the item in the middle of the cellowrap, gather up the sides and bunch them in the middle above the item, and then tie up with a pretty holiday ribbon. I personally think this is much more decorative then using shrink wrap :)

Gift Basket Ideas!?

For a fund raiser, we are making baskets to raffle off. Our basket theme is a "STAY AT HOME BASKET". Do you have any ideas as to what we should put in it? it should be around a $300 value.
--------------------
You could make a really nice breakfast/brunch basket. With the amount of money you have you could put a bunch of things in it - jams & jellies, pancake and waffle mix, real maple syrup, an apron, tea towels, mugs & and matching dishes, a waffle iron, oven mitts, coffee and tea selection, and maybe even a subscription to your local Sunday paper. I love to stay in Sunday, make a pot of coffee and some breakfast, and read the paper. Hope this helps!
