I wanted to do something inexpensive, like mail out tins of fudge or fruit baskets (homemade). Any ideas would be great. We really don't want to spend much this year as last year we went totally overboard (we spent almost $2,000!). So this year we decided to send a food basket of some kind to save a little. Thanks...
--------------------
You could get little boxes of chocolate at Malley's that are relatively inexpensive, or even buy a bunch of the chocolate and put it together yourself in little bags and add some other treats or a candle, some soap, bath salts, little ornaments for christmas...etc. in with it. Target always has really good deals on stocking stuffers (dollar section) that added with some fudge or fruit would make very cute homemade baskets! I know that my mom always loves the homemade baskets she gets because they're more personal and you know that the people giving them picked each thing out for you. Remember it's the thought that counts, so I'm sure whatever you decide on will be well received! Enjoy your holidays!

Would a guy want a picture of himself and his girlfriend in a picture frame as a gift?
im making a big valentines day basket for my boyfriend and I'm thinking of getting a picture frame and putting a picture of both of us together in it. Do you think he would want that? Would he think it was too girly? Would he want a picture of just me maybe? THANKS IN ADVANCE!

You are so romantic. And yes... A guy who loves you would absolutely love a framed picture of you two.

The holiday's are coming up and I need some help with a "tenant event"?
We manage 2 buildings that have over 800+ employees combined. We need to do something for them as far as something kind of Christmas thing whether it be a tenant event or gift basket. I'm knew to all of this and am open to some suggestions. Our budget is about $5000 or so. Any ideas?
--------------------
Wow, that's a tough one. That's about $6 a person. What about a casual Italian dinner party, it's cheap, but who doesn't appreciate a free meal. Maybe try to have a prize to be given away at the party, or a few of them. You could have a raffle, or have a split the pot where 2 employees could split the pot evenly. Good Luck to you, it's nice that you remember your employees during the holidays and let them know you appreciate them.

Inexpensive destination wedding gift bag ideas?
I have a lot of guests traveling pretty far to come to my wedding, so I know it is the proper thing to leave a gift bag or basket in each guest room for them. However, as weddings do, mine has gotten very expensive, very fast. Does anyone have any tasteful, yet inexpensive ideas for a welcome baskets for faithful, traveling guests? I went to a wedding that gave candy bars and snack foods, but I don't want my guests to think that I want them to pack on the pounds on their trip. I also am going to be in the White Mountains, so something with a New England feel would be nice too. Thoughts?
--------------------
You can go to the dollar store and get some cheap baskets/bags. Depending on when you go they actually have a big selection. As for the gift bags themself - you should add maps, directions, maybe get some coupons for restaurants, local phone numbers, etc. As far as food goes - what time of year will it be? If it is in the mountains I am guessing it will probably be cold; so I would put stuff in there like tea's with honey, hot chocolate, dried fruit and nuts, bottled water - adding some snack foods would be a good idea. I don't think that your guests will feel that you are trying to help them pack on the pounds; but buying little snacks out of the vending machine or at the hotel can get very expensive - so it's nice to give them a few things to munch on. It doesn't have to be much. Good luck!

Gift for a male teacher?
I was in this guys class as a guest for a whole year, he really helped me out a lot, but never got paid for teaching me. I am leaving and I want to thank him, I am writing a long thank you letter and and I want to get him like a present. I was thinking like a gift basket but I don't know what kind. Any idea for a general gift??? He is a music conductor...??
--------------------
That is very thoughtful of you. Depending on how much you intend to spend you could buy him a CD in his favorite music style, sheet music to a favorite song, tickets to a concert, a new book on music or conducting, a first edition book on music or about a composer he likes, a gift certificate to a favorite music store, music-oriented cuff links or tie-tack or pocket square or tie (depending on what he wears), etc. If you have absolutely no idea what he wants, you could always get him a gift certificate to Amazon. They have a lot of music-oriented things there. You could even print a page of something that you were thinking of getting, include it with the gift card, and say that you had planned to get that but weren't sure if he already had it. That way, you show that you were thinking of a particular gift but you still give him some choice in the matter. Good luck!

Where can I go to have someone else wrap my Christmas presents?
I just dont have the time or the patience this year to wrap them myself. I have a lot of little things that I wanted to have arranged in a gift basket, and I want it to look nice. Where can I go to have someone wrap them for me? Do any department stores offer that, or hallmark maybe? Does it matter if its from that store or not?
--------------------
You could use tiny gift bags -- they come in all sizes -- and a piece of tissue. Or you could use a little squares of paper and wrap your gifts like pieces of hard candy -- tie ribbons on the ends.

I recently had a baby and i'm looking for good moneymaking ideas that i can do from home on my computer or locally. I prefer making and selling things such as gift baskets and crafts, but I need some ideas and marketing ideas.

A high quality hand lotion is something every woman will use until the bottle runs dry. Also, if you can find a hand made soap that has a lovely smell and texture that would be probably be really appreciated because it is not something your Mom would pick up while normally shopping.

My friend had to get jaw surgery on Tuesday and I wanted to make a little gift basket for him; drinks, jello or something. What would be the best things to buy for him?
--------------------
a tub of ice cream, or a gift card to a smoothie or shakes place, cause those are foods that i enjoyed eating after having my wisdom teeth pulled, and also cheetos puffs, cause they basically dissolve in your mouth if you wait long enough, and the jello is good too, and macaroni and cheese is soft and perfect, because you dont even have to chew that much

How is everyone dealing with the Christmas holiday now that money is so tight?
We are passing out gift cards and food baskets and toys for the kids. We also help out the needy in the neighborhood. We do what we can there is alot of foreclosures and job losses its so sad.

Thinking about what the true meaning of Christmas is. Thinking of those who are less fortunate than us. Thinking of our family and friends so far away. Thinking of our Troops fighting for our Freedom and willing to do so and volunteering to do so, so far away from their family and friends no matter what the Democrats in Washington say about it. And doing the same as You collecting items for food for those that need it and Toys for Tots and Gifts for the Angel Tree. Yes, it is so sad. But, we as a Nation are so Blessed and we need to stop crying about how bad we have it and just remember how bad some other Nations have it those that don't have the freedoms we do. The rights that we do. That's why so many other people from other countries want to come here. But a lot of Americans are just to blind to see it. God Bless America. Please, Before It's to Late! And GOD Bless Your Family Too! Merry Christmas, Not Happy Holiday
