My sister's husband is only in his early 30s and has been in and out of the hospital due to a fairly serious condition. There's not a lot of research on it, so I'm not sure how it's going to turn out. Anyway, I'd like to send him something to let him know i care, but something more than just a card. I need ideas for gift baskets or anything that would be appropriate for a man in his late 20s/early 30s for this occasion. Guys, what would you appreciate if you were in this condition? Keep in mind, we live several states away.
--------------------
One of the things I'd do is send him a gas card for his wife. You can send it to him or her. It gets really expensive to go back and forth. A gift card for food at a favourite restaurant or one that is near the hospital could also help. This all depends on their financial situation but it is a gift that can be used and appreciated especially if the extras are putting additional stress on the family. What about music? An itunes card for his ipod (if he has one) or burn a CD of his favourite songs (if you know him well) for the drives or CD player. A music store gift card if he doesn't download would also be good. Does he love to read? I had relatives in hospital and would stop by the local thrift store and stock up on pocket books that they could toss when they were finished. The book store also has audio tapes. These are a few ideas but I wish him a speedy recovery and strength for your family.

What are the dimensions of a half peck basket?
I ordered a gift basket for someone and want to know. Specifically, what is the diameter of the opening? Thanks.
--------------------
If they are like the ones shown here: http://www.texasbasket.com/apple/half_pe 8.5" diameter. Of course, you can vary the height and diameter (lower sides, wider diameter) and still be a half-peck, but I think these are considered "standard".

What are the best way of marketing & advertising for a online gift shop?
Gift shop selling ready packed gift baskets & boxes etc....
--------------------
Sell them on eBay or Amazon, you already have the online buyers gathered together, so there's no need to go after your target market from scratch. You could also advertise your store on sites online buyers frequent, such as other online stores. I also think it would be a good idea to buy ad space on e-card sites. People go there when they need to send a birthday/wedding/whatever card (and they're already internet-friendly people who prefer to send it by email instead of using a paper card, so they probably buy online too), so they would probably need some other gift as the ones you sell. Think of it as a great way to reach the people who are more likely to be your customers.

What are some gifts for someone who is pregnant???
I have between 5-8 people to buy gifts for that are pregnant right now. The reason it is between 5 and 8 is....if I cant afford to do 8 I will only do 5 for now. I was wating to get some gift baskets together but I need some ideas on what to put in them without spending way too much. I was thinking maybe some birth control pills or something, just kidding. I dont know what to put in them. I was trying to figure out a way to make a basket out of diapers that they could use but I cant figure anything out. Are there any websites or anything with ideas? What are some meaningful things I could put in cute little baskets that wont cost me an arm and a leg???? Thanks in advance.
--------------------
this is the gift i always give diaper bag cloth diapers small wipe case with wipes bottles pacifier diaper pins if you give alot of little things like pacifiers, bottles, wipes and cloth diapers you can buy them in larger packages and split them up between friends. you could put everything in the cloth diaper and use it as the wrap closed with a pair of diaper pins.

My mom is moving away i need ideas for a gift basket ,any suggestion's?
My mom and stepdad are moving away because my stepdad got a real good job. i wanna make my mom a gift basket of stuff for reminders that her family is still here but to help her make their new place a home . i am going to add a webkinz (cause yes me and here LOVE them) i'm gonna make a scrapbook with pictures of us kids and grandkinds, but i want to put more stuff in it. I don't want to do the normal food, chocolate , same ol same ol stuff. does anyone have any ideas of what would be good to also put in the basket?

Jo-Jo, Moms don't need baskets of fruits and sweets, they are an expression of "superficial love" they don't last long. This is what I think, You are very brave and unselfish and understanding, in your approach to this departure. I think your Mom and step-dad are over the moon that you are pleased for them to go live their own lives. To hear the words "I love you Mom and Dad" coming in no uncertain terms from you will be the greatest gift you could give them and the most memorable one. I love the idea of the scrap book full of pictures of all that are left behind. Sadly I can't help you with any suggestions to make your gift basket any more special, but I am sure that in due course somebody will, just remember, that they will be feeling the pain of moving away just as much as you will miss them when they go. be happy

Suggestions for gift basket for pregnant mom on reduced activity?
One of my quilting buddies went to the doctor last week because she'd been dragging for awhile and found out that she was 6 months pregnant. She had not had a period in 3 years, so this was quite a shock to her. She is 54 years old. I'm extremely happy for her and her hubby and would like to make up a gift basket for her that does not include food items. Other than hobby stuff or soaps and creams, what things would you include? She is not on bedrest at this time, but will be curtailing most activities after next week. Yes, she has 2 children already, but they are adults.

What are some good gift ideas to put in a Valentine's gift basket?
I wanna make a basket of lots of small gifts for my boyfriend for Valentine's but I'm not sure of what to put in the basket. So far, I have 2 movies, some candles, and a Valentine's Day card. He's been looking everywhere for 2 oldie movies and I found them online so I want to get him those, and he loves those rich scented candles because his house always smells like our dog, so I ordered some of those for his apartment. What other small, cheap, but special gifts can I get him to put in the gift basket? Thanks!

home made gift basket?
Ok, so I decided to make my sister a gift basket, doesnt have a theme. I made a pillow out of her favorite color and stuck it in the bottom, then i filled in the top with a box of hershey's pot of gold chocolate, a drawstring bag with shower gel, bubble bath, soap, body scrub in it, and then 4 things of pop corn, a summer sausage, two packs of peanutbutter crackers, and then a mini stocking with candy in it and a few scrunchies, does this sound like a good idea to you?? do you have any other suggestions on what to put in it?
--------------------
I think thats a great idea, maybe a cheap cd or dvd she might like but if you don't have the $ or really don't want to get something else you have PLENTY!!! she will appreciate all the thought put into it. If you do want other suggestions, you could maybe add a new makeup bag, fingernail clippers, things like that.

How can I tactfully tell people NOT to get me a get-well gift?
I slipped on ice last week and broke my leg. I have had two other hospitalizations in the last 3 years. The people with whom I work, always get be a big basket of living house plants as a get-well gift. I really appreciate their thoughtfulness and generosity, but I really have all the plants I need right now and with a broken leg, don't need any more to care for. I wanted to know if there a kind-hearted way to tell them that.
--------------------
Just accept the gifts and give them away to a plant nursery afterwards. They probably won't find out about it anyway.

What is a good gift-basket gift for my best friend?
My best friend is about to have her 13th birthday. Last year for my birthday, she got me a gift I really loved, and I'd like to return the favor. What can I put in a gift basket (or a purse or beach bag) for her? It seems like we do the same theme, spa (lotions, bath bombs, etc.), for every Christmas and birthday. So far, my ideas include: Flip Flops Nail Polish And that's about it. Maybe I could do a theme- color to tie it all in? Like, pink flip flops, pink polish, pink bag...
--------------------
how 'bout: - a cute beach towel -a few of her favorite candies (doesn't totally fit theme, but whats the harm in adding) -sun glasses - even stuff to play in the sand in (pail, etc) could be kinda cute. just for novelty

Gift ideas for client, Christmas?
Please make suggestions for a Christmas gift? This is for a client I rarely see in person. I part-time freelance for him and I pick up/drop off the work and most of the time he's not even there. So I know nothing about his personal interests, hobbies, etc. His office is very sterile/non-personal and the artwork in there is just generic prints or framed posters of birds, sea scenes and landscapes. He is married and has grandkids. In the past, I've done gift baskets, wines, chocolates, picture frames. The one he commented on more than to just say "thanks for the gift" was the big picture frames to use for pics of his grandkids. I'd like to find a new idea this time. I don't like giving gift cards. Any suggestions?

Valentine's day gift basket for my boyfriend?
I want to put together a gift "basket" for my boyfriend for Valentine's Day. What are some alternative ideas to using an actual Basket? I've already decided to include his favorite cookies in the basket, along with a movie or two. What else could I include? We have only been dating each other for about 2months, but we've known each other much longer. We are both 17. He runs cross, plays hockey, and plays baseball. He doesn't like Dark chocolate, cherries or strawberries, and he prefers chocolate candies over sweet candy like Skittles and the like.
--------------------
every valentines day i make my boyfriend a "basket" (i use either gift bags, or since every valentines day we always get a nice room at at hotel resort i get there early and lay it out over the table, but gift bags are fine!) of his favorite things; candy, snacks, drinks, dvds, books, clothes, video games, picture of us, random valentines stuff, and anything he's been talking about that he needs or wants. he loves it!

Help! I want to make a gift basket for a friend for Valentine's day. What should I put in it?
We do a secret cupid thing at my work and the person I drew is a good friend. What can I put in a gift basket for her? I am not supposed to spend more than $15, but I already have the basket. She said her and her husband will not be doing anything for the special day because of the kids sports. I was kind of thinking a "spa" type of basket. I think she is on a diet so not to much candy or sweerts. Any Ideas? What would you like in a gift basket from a friend?
--------------------
Scented tea lights, and some lotions, soaps? Or maybe some pretty note pads, some gel pens, and miscellaneous desk stuff, on the "fluffy" side, that she wouldn't normally buy herself.

UNIQUE Valentine's Gift?
Well, I basically want to ask this girl out. We're pretty good friends but I don't want to do something too typical. I'm brainstorming for stuff I can give outside of roses, chocolates, necklaces, cards and gift baskets. Ideas?
--------------------
First ignore all the solicitors above. I did this last year. I got a picture of the both of us and took it to Kinkos. Some locations can put in on an oil or water painting canvas. I was really impressed by the way it looked. I think it cost around $85. but not all the stores do it. You can even sign the bottom of it like you actually painted it. lol
