What gift to give my nice neighbor?
My neighbors have lived next door to me for 4 years. I do not know them well. They know I am ill often. Because of a few conversations over the years. My lawn mower broke and have not been able to get it fixed for almost 2 weeks.(the other side neighbor borrowed it and broke it and did not offer to fix it uggg) With the heat index of over a 100 or raining No one has been able to come fix it that I know. Today it is very nice out. Without asking the good neighbor came over and mowed my very high grass. I was to sick to go out and tell him thank you or anything. I want to go to our local grocery store and get them something to say thank you if I feel better tomorrow. Which would be a better gift with a thank you card? A fruit basket? A BBQ basket with steak, hot dogs and potato kind of basket? They are in there early 50's. And have a pool and grill out often. But is a steak basket to strange?
--------------------
Heck no! I would be flattered you paid enough attention to notice I love to grill. I would even make sure to invite you over to enjoy the spoils. You sound like a awesome neighbor to have. Can I live next to you? I have a son, he loves to help. LOL! P.S. Tell them that when you give them the steak basket, "I noticed you like to grill a lot and I wanted to say thanks."

How much would you......... please answer?
be willing to pay for a gift basket like at christmas or wateva with a bar of soap,bubble bath/shower gel,bath salts/bath bombs and lip balm and body scrub.if it was sold on amazon or somewhere like that?
--------------------
Like the guy just said, it depends on the quality of the gift basket. If it was nice stuff, like Bath & Body Works or Burt's Bees, I would be willing to pay up to about $20 or $30 on something like Amazon or eBay. I added the link to Bath & Body's gift bastket page so you could compare what you'd be getting for your money in comparison. But if they aren't brand name products, and they were on a discount site, I really wouldn't pay more than about $15. Just depends on the quality, and the quantity. Good luck!

Please Tell me what you think?
With the Christmas Holidays right around the corner I was thinking about either one of two things.....1. Buying Gift Certificates/cards or 2. Ordering from this place I found at http://www.blackriverbaskets.com I am handicapped so it's hard to go to the stores, so PLEASE tell me which you would prefer and why......I like the Gift Baskets, for right now, they appear to be more personal, what do you think?

Containers for Cookies?
Okay, I dun really have money right now to buy like...boxes, or fancy stuff to hold cookies, I already spent all of my money. (I'm 13) I have ribbon, and that see-through/clear wrap. That thing people use to wrap like gift baskets. Do you have any ideas on how to wrap the cookies to make it look nice? The cookies will be round, and some will be different shapes. Like small stars, bears...etc. Or do you have any links that can help with this? Thanks.
--------------------
I've wrapped cookies in seran wrap and tied it up with ribbon before and it looks cute. Cut the seran wrap into squares and it can make like a baggie. But, another idea is those little clear plastic bags with the cute decorations on them. I bought some last night at a dollar store (25 in a pack) and they have Christmas trees on them, but there were other's with snowflakes and holly and other stuff. They are also really cute to put your cookies in and tie them with ribbon. That's what I'm giving to my coworkers this year.

Will this work?
I have recently just set up a website bruschistreasurechest.com I sell dog gift baskets, I know this sounds like spam but i really want some honest answers. How does it look? How is the pricing ? Would you order something like this? What could I change that would make you more likley to order? I appreciate all feedback Thanks
--------------------
I think the website looks great and the concept is good. The prices are a bit high (maybe add some lower priced baskets for those who do not want to spend that much). Also, under the holiday basket button it states none at this time? I would have a Christmas, Hanukkah, New Years etc already out there with several to choose from so people can plan ahead. I would purchase one for my puppy :) Good Luck to you guys!

Buying local for Christmas?
Has anyone tried to keep a green Christmas by buying all presents from local businesses? As in locally produced - works of art, arts and crafts, music, gift baskets, wine, etc. Thought it would benefit the local artisans and keep the consumerism down this year. Would be hard with small children, but I was wondering if anyone had tried this, if for no other reason than to screw with the corporate commercialism or save on transportation of massive goods.
--------------------
Rock on PD! I'm actually doing that this Christmas for the first time. I'm usually an internet shopper, looking for the best deal. But, I decided, who really cares if you save $2 on that 'whatchamacallit'? I mean, I'd rather support our local businesses and my community and the people who are my neighbors. We are lucky to have a local artisans shop (my town is only 15,000 people) and the downtown is just starting to come back with quaint locally owned shops...I'm so glad! We also have a small book store which stocks kids' books written by a local author, so that helps with presents for the kids. Anyway, I think it's a great idea and it's actually making my shopping a lot less stressful and more fun!

Can anyone recommend a fun adult board game geared towards drinking or sex?
Two birthdays are coming up and I've decided that I want to get each of them a sex and/or drinking adult board game as part of their birthday gift baskets. The first board game I'm considering is: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0009Z3… I've also considered "Would You Rather...?" The gifts are for two gay males... both turning 20. If anyone has any other good gift ideas... please suggest them! Also, these two guys are not dating... so it's two different gift baskets.

If you have ordered some thing don't you think you should pay for it when you get it??? please read...?
Ok.... we have a gift basket company. We filled a order for 20 baskets. We gave almost a $100 discount off of the entire order b/c we "thought they were friends" anyways. We delivered the baskets on 12/20/06.... the lady still hasn't paid. She got mad at us b/c we asked for the money.... so we could order more of our product. Do you think that it is too much to ask to be paid in a timely manner & before Christmas??? She got a major attitude and is totally being rude. I just wanted to know your thoughts about this. As if the holidays weren't stressful enough.... then we have to deal with a rude person. Thank you for all comments & answers. Merry Christmas!

I don't think you were rude at all! I cant stand it when people are like that!

Do You Know You Can Get Though The Holidays on mere pennies!?
You know christmas is all about sharing good times with family and close friends.all we really want to know is that were all loved! Keep the holidays simple!! Christmas is very magical for me.there is so much going on event wise during the holidays just watch your local newspapers for all the events listed and local charites whom offer many great free!!! christmas meals to share with your families..but some do request rsvp..so many great cooks whom make such great foods and lavish desserts..in keeping the holidays simple some suggestions are; 1.make up home baked holiday treats from cookies,to mini holiday cakes,to home made candies, caramel apples,pizza cookies,home made breads, jams or jellies,or home baked ice cream cone cakes are always fun to give,and recieve...Do you realize there are so many budget friendly stores for those of us on tight budgets as i am..for me my favorite places to shop when i have some cash on hand are: 1.pier 1 imports clearance items 2.dollar general stores 3.dollar tree stores 4.family dollar stores 5.Big Lot stores 6.target dollar spot items 7.save -a-lot grocery stores have a whole dollar section and a numerous assortment of really neat finds.for just a buck! from mens and womans winter hat and gloves to give as sets,to socks,to dvd classic movies so why not make a movie night gift basket filled with classic dvd movies.. or another budget simple friendly idea for all the men on your list is make up poker gift baskets filled with the poker hand book,the decks of cards,the dice,and the poker chips ,etc...(shh my son is getting this this year)!!that they will wow over!! another budget friendly idea for all the cooks on your list is too buy a inexpensive metal sifter and fill it with tools we need... another suggestion i really enjoy is shopping at only the dollar general store .as i favor there holiday scented candles in a jar for $1.00 there the best.. then buy some holiday printed sacks.some bows,the tags,perhaps some boxes of candy canes to add to front of package.needless to say slip one holiday scented candle per bag..and what a clever inexpensive holiday gift to give and recieve..or if you do not enjoy giving holiday scented candles why not use inexpensive photo frames in stead of the scented holiday candles. even family fare dollar grocery stores have dollar rack of cosmetics why not give sets of cosmetics or sets of professional make up brushes to give for the gals on your list... holiday pins and brooches photo frames holiday candles stationary body butters,and bath stuff bath stuff for men. sets of winter gloves and hats for both men and woman buy bulk candies from meigers to give as holiday treats fill a cup or holiday container of... and it also helps greatly to if you have not already do start a holiday gift container to watch for neat non food itemes to fill in it with as you fined em for dirt cheap clearance prices while shopping all year long really helps me out too...so the reason i wrote this is because last night i tried to answere some one whom was broke but yahoo had troubles last night ..one can only hope this finds its way to her as well..wishing you all a very joyous holiday season...

Gift Cards - Different way to package?
Has anyone given gift cards in a creative way? Someone once gave me 5 gift cards stuck on a stick with a piece of candy in the middle. It looked like a flower. I'm looking for an idea similar to that, but a little different. The only one I could find online was an idea with a balloon and a basket. Might do that but might need something smaller than a big box with a balloon in it.
--------------------
Bake a cake or cupcake and use it as part of the decorations on it. You could always get a cute wallet and put it in there. Or, a deck of playing cards with the gift card as one of the "cards"

MOTHERS, FRIENDS, SISTERS....would you buy these things?
Would you buy gift baskets for babies from markets? good quality gift hampers/baskets for babies from the markets if price range was $15-$25 and range from 4-12 gifts in each hamper/basket. just wanted to know for future small home based buisness. sets would be made up of anything from 1- baby products like bathing products,creams, powders etc 2- bottles, rattles, dummies,bibs,towels etc 3- outfits: 1 peice suit, hat/bonnet/beanie, socks etc 4- random mixtures including books, flashcards, feeding sets tc plus lots more would be clearly packaged so can see whats inside. mix of girls boys and unisex packs i would make them myself, im a stay at home mum of 1 so have lots of time on my hands thouht this was a great way of making extra cash
--------------------
As a gift, yes. For myself, maybe. I'm very picky as to what I use on my baby. I like to use all natural products so the cleaning/bath products might turn me off. I've also found when buying for myself I get more value if I buy certain items in bulk packages rather than one cute item of everything in a gift basket. But as a gift, of course I would. Another thing to consider is gift baskets geared towards breastfeeding and bottle feeding moms. A breastfeeding one might have some nursing pads and milk storage bags versus another with bottles and nipples and such.

Gift for hosting easter dinner?
My mom and I were invited to easter lunch by my boyfriend's mom. The dinner is nothing formal, and our parents have met once, but Im just not sure if im supposed to bring a gift for his mom or maybe some food or what. My boyfriend also told me that his mom bought me an easter basket, so I dunno if that makes a difference. And if I am supposed to get her a gift, how much should i spend and on what? Anythings helpful. Thanks. -Tina
--------------------
I always get a hostess gift. In this case, I'd bring cut flowers if possible, or a box of candy from the candy store. Since it's your boyfriend's mom, definitely don't go empty-handed.

So here's the thing...?
I am 23, married, and broke. My husband and i live paycheck to paycheck. Our bills are much and our income is little. My question is does anyone know of a way to make some extra money without being illegal and not seeing each other. We both work in different towns both 50 miles away from where we live. We make and sell gift baskets and misc. gifts but it is still not enough. I know things could be worse but it is taking it toll on our marriage and our health.

Try starting an 'errand-running' business... Go to the super market for seniors who don't drive Take elderly people to their doctor's visits Mow their lawns, prepare dinners, lunches, walk their dogs Clean their houses. Write letters to their children/grandchildren for them, pick up their mail...Just help around their homes...You can either have a flat 'per task' fee or an hourly rate...
