i need your help! ideas anyone?

okay so, me and my best friend are going out this one night and making our close cirlce of friends gag gifts (like a basket of stuff) that we're gonna leave on their doorsteps and stuff. We're seniors in high school so its kinda like a last memory thing of high school. So far, we have the idea of fish and naming with inside jokes we have. has anyone ever done something like this before? any cute ideas we could do?
--------------------
give them things u no they dont like or things that creep them out. one of my guy friends got a box of pink used razors for a gag gift and it made him gag. it was priceless. i once got a jar of spiders and i flipped out and screamed. saran wrapping cars, houses and pets is also a good 1.

I am making a basket for my parents for Christmas...?

I am getting candy and something else for my dad and i have no clue for my mom. It has to be REALLY REALLY cheap and I want around the same money value for each (duh). Price range is about under $10 (for both of them together) since my brother and I are splitting (i think) for a restaurant gift certificate and I only have $20. Candy is cheap, and my dad likes candy so that's why. SO I need help with what other thing to get for my dad and the whole thing for my mom. And like I said about $5 dollars each. And we don't have any baskets around here so I might just throw it all into a box since i cant afford it :). I think that's it and I will add more details if I need to. All (or most) answers are appreciated. Thank you, and have a Merry Christmas.

Need help on things to put in a Valentine's date basket?

My boyfriend has to work on Valentine's day and I couldn't think of what to get him. I have been thinking about getting him a date in a basket, which I think is a lot better than a card with a gift card in it for a date (sort of like a get well basket, but for a date). I was going to get a basket from a hobby store and fill it with things for a date that we could have some other time. So I was going to get a gift card to a restaurant and then some other stuff, but I don't know what to do for the "other stuff". If I do movie passes, then it is a basket filled with two gift cards? That seems sort of lame. What could I put in it that takes more space? What other date ideas could I do other than a movie and dinner? What themes could I go with for other dates that I could make into a basket? THANKS!!!!!
--------------------
You should get a funny movie and then put popcorn in the basket, then you could get some thing like a huge "hersey's bar" or "kiss" and put that in there, you could also visit him at work if that would make his day.

How much would you pay for a basket/platter of holiday treats?

Thank-you email for Christmas basket?

Every year for Christmas, my boss has me make 22-25 very stuffed baskets for other architectural and engineering firms that we collaborate with. No expense is spared and they are quite nice. This year, two of the firms receptionists sent us a quick email saying something like "Hi, we at (insert firm name) want to thank you for the basket." Is it just me, or does that just seem kind of rude..to thank someone for a big gift by email? Would it be too hard for them to just send a real thank-you card, even a small one? Maybe I am making a big deal about nothing..but it seems bad etiquette. This isn't just "Oh hey, thanks for setting up that meeting.."
--------------------
I would be making the baskets a little differently next year. Two peaches with a banana poking out between them or something.

How much would you pay for a basket/platter of holiday treats?

I'm bouncing around the idea in my head of making and selling baked holiday treats for some extra cash around the holiday season. I don't really know how I'd go about getting clients- but that's further down the road. I need to figure out if it would be worth it to buy the supplies- if the amount I would sell them for would offset the cost of the supplies and be worth the time in the kitchen (although I love baking, so I don't think I'd mind the time in the kitchen). In the baskets/platters I'd put An assortment of cookies Amish Sugar Cookies Chocolate Chip Cookies Gingerbread Cookies Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Drop Cookies ...etc... Peanut Brittle/Almond Brittle Rice Krispy Treats Stuffed Dates Reindeer Noses (small pretzels with a Hershey Kiss and M&M on top) Peanut Chews ...and other holiday treats. So, my question is, would you purchase something like this to give out as a gift or to have for yourself? If yes, how much would you pay for a small assortment, medium assortment, large assortmet. And what would you consider a small, medium, and large assortment. I would package them nicely with a holiday theme (Christmas, Hanukka, Kwanza, whatever your choice). I would also be open to the idea of shipping them as gifts. I'm also consider offering an assortment of pies. Peanut Butter Pie, Apple Crumb Pie, Pumpkin Pie, etc. Any advice/insight you could offer would be great! Thanks for taking the time to read!
--------------------
Most people are on a budget of some kind. I would put an appropriate amount of stuff in each basket in order for you to make 40 percent profit per gift. Have you considered making a gluten-free or peanut free basket? Gifts can be hard to come by for those with allergies. Have a $24.99 price point, $39.99, and a $69.99 price point or something like that. I would also vary the ribbons to appeal to men and women. In the higher priced baskets I would put a candle or something lasting like a tin inside. Game day baskets would probably do well with your nearest NFL, NBA or NHL team. Men love to buy these things, I hate to be sexist but its true. They usually wait till the last minute they have their wives and mothers and coworkers to buy for. I'd make a bunch of them up and go where the men are, bowling alley or something like that. Anybody you know work in a office? You could also pop in small businesses and see if yu can sell that way. You could also offer to sell through church or PTA with a percentage kickback for the org.

Christmas coupon?

OK so my friend just had a baby this week, so for Christmas I am making her a basket with a gift card to get a new outfit, a bottle of wine, a pair of movie tickets, a gc to a resturaunt and I was going to include like a "coupon" for one night of babysitting, their choice of day, so her and her bf can have a night out but I dont know what to write on the "coupon" Any ideas on how to word it?
--------------------
This coupon entitles the bearer (you) to ONE NIGHT OF BABYSITTING (free!) so that you two can have a night out (yay)! Day and time to be arranged MERRY CHRISTMAS! [For an extra "oomph", make the coupon out of construction paper or computer graphics. Have fun!]

For people who are getting their children gifts for their Easter basket.?

Here is what I got for them so far. I have an almost 2 year old step-daughter and a 15 month old son. I got them both bubbles, flip flops and sun glasses. I also got my step-daughter two tank tops. I'm still looking for something for my son. I'm probably going to get her some undies and a pair of shorts to finish it off and a little candy. For my son I will probably get some sort of toy I can't decide which yet and something for the bath or outside. We are sending my step-daughters stuff home with her this holiday because we are running out of space here. So what do you think? Thanks. What are your kids getting?
--------------------
sounds good to me. instead of an actual easter basket i am using a sand pail as my sons basket, and inside i am putting a shorts outfit, a pair of sandle/flip flops, bath squirter toy, and i will be getting some of his favorite Gerber Graduate snacks instead of candy since he will only be 17 1/2 months on easter, and doesnt need candy. maybe i ll get some for myself. lol! you gave me an idea about the sun glasses. ill have to get a pair since it goes with sort of the beach theme of his "basket". we are going to hawaii in may, so i thought a beachy theme for easter would be perfect. and im still planning on getting a small bottle of bubbles and a pack of thoes crayola crayons that are made for toddlers. happy easter!

More & More soap questions????

Ok Now I have another question about molding glycerin soap. As I said in my other question I live in a small town and have no craft store. I either have to drive 4 hours one way to get to the nearest one or order my supplies online. I am making soap baskets for christmas gifts. I am ordering clear glycerin and adding my own color to it & my own scent. I wanted to do peppermint. would peppermint food flavoring work? Or am I gong to have to order the peppermint essential oil?
--------------------
No, my daughter talked to her sister-in-law, that makes soap and she told her that it definity would not work. Are you going to malke me one now that I have given you a good answer??? I suggest that you contact Zim's craft store in Salt Lake City and find out if they have peppermint essential oil. There email is- https://www.zimscrafts.com If you would rather call them, their phone # is 801-268-2505 or 801-544-2141 I know they have some soap making supplies and are very reasonable in price. How ever their glycerin soap is rather expensive. Good luck and God bless, Juanita

Maid of Honor speech help?

So i'd love to hear any kind of advise, tell me what's funny what's not, I don;t care about grammar mistakes only I'll be seeing this anyway. (The names were changed to protect the privacy of the bride and groom). Here it is: For those of you who don't know me, I'm Lauren, our gorgeous bride's little sister. In all my research for this speech (in other words, googling, "Maid of honor Speeches" about a hundred times) everything says to give the bride and groom some advice about being newlyweds. Now I don't know what you guys think, but in my opinion advice about marriage from your very unmarried 16 year old sister is about the worst advice you'll ever get. But the next thing all these websites said was to have a nice story about how you met and how perfect you guys are for each other. so here it goes, when Sarah and Chuck got back together in 2008 it was obvious that no one and nothing would keep them from being in love. Not because they were so obvious about how much in they love they really were, but because they were so respectful to each other. They didn't have to prove that they were in love by being so in your face about it, because of how natural it was. So it was a slippery slope from the time Sarah came home on cloud nine with the text from Phil asking to see her again. I think we still have the wedding magazines that Sarah bought the very next day. So less than 2 years later the house started filling with wedding stuff again; only this time Jess wasn't the one buying the stuff. Now it was from all the guests sitting here today. And boy were you guys generous! I've never seen so many target and bed bath and beyond gift cards, bags, and packages in my life! There was so much wedding stuff that 3 weeks ago, Sarah had to move in my room because her room had become so over stuffed with wedding favors, bridal party gifts, wedding invitations, wedding RSVPs, flower girl baskets in every color, and of course, wedding gifts. But I did get a little piece of advice for Chuck from these three weeks of being roomies. No matter what, DO NOT wake her up in the morning. Even if she'll lose her job, don't worry about it. She can get a new job, but you can't get a new head. She'll saying things to you that she wouldn't normally even think fully awake. She'll throw things, call you names, kick and scream. But don't file for divorce just yet, because the minute she's out of bed and fully awake, she'll be happy as can be. She denies ever saying or doing anything. It's been this way for as long as I can remember. Even on Christmas morning! I remember Beth (our sister) and I trying to wake her up so we could open our presents, and Sarah through a ball at us and went back under the covers. But 20 minutes later she came out saying merry Christmas and, "when can we open gifts?!" so don't take it too personally. Anyway, to close this thing up, I just want to say thank you Chuck and Sarah for being such an amazing example to me in your courtship, so maybe one day I'll actually have some good advice for newlyweds.
--------------------
This is very good -- it's very appealing and the wedding crowd will love it. My only slight reservation would be to referring to everyone's generous gifts as "stuff", particularly that her room was "over stuffed" with gifts, etc. It makes it sound a bit like it was a nuisance receiving all these gifts! People like to think that their gift was "special", and if it's lost in a mound of other gifts, then it obviously isn't. (Are Target, Bed Bath and Beyond Gift stores? Are they reasonably up-market? If not, it's safest not to mention them. But I really wouldn't mention the gifts anyway.) Perhaps you could say instead that your sister's wedding dress, favors, invitations and RSVPs were taking up all your sister's room, and that leads nicely into the rest of your story. I hope the day goes well!

--------------------
It's quite nice and strikes a perfect tone, with one exception: the part about wedding gifts, which skates a little too close to the line where humour meets poor taste. Also, the part about Sarah's room being crammed with favours, bridal party gifts, etc., has nothing to do with advice for the newlyweds, and again, it's not particularly nice to remind everyone that some of them received favours and gifts. If I were you'd I'd remove this entire section: "And boy were you guys generous! I've never seen so many target and bed bath and beyond gift cards, bags, and packages in my life! There was so much wedding stuff that 3 weeks ago, Sarah had to move in my room because her room had become so over stuffed with wedding favors, bridal party gifts, wedding invitations, wedding RSVPs, flower girl baskets in every color, and of course, wedding gifts."

Is anyone here an 8th Grade Teacher?

ONLY 8TH GRADE TEACHERS!!!!! What would be the best end-of-the year gift from one of your students if you were to never teach them again? I'm leaving my school this year and need an end-of-the-year gift. My friend is filling one basket for each teacher who taught us with ALL SORTS OF THINGS. It's not fair becuase now, it gives me less options. I want my gift to stand out so she remembers me, as I will remember her for the rest of my life. Any ideas? Thanks to all who answer!
--------------------
teachers REALLY charish heart felt letters. i think whatever you give him/her...you should include a letter telling them what they meant to you as a teacher. i have some of these, and on my worst days, i pull them out and they remind me why i'm teaching! what about something fun for the teacher? like...a beauty treatment if it's a lady. teachers rarely have extra money to spend on extras like manicures and pedicures. if that makes you uncomfortable...what about a really nice picture frame? or a basket with your teacher's favorite snacks? what about a coffee cup that you made at one of those 'paint your own pottery' places?

Easter gifts for my siblings, what do you think....?

I have 3 siblings, an 8 year old brother, a 7 year old sister, and a 6 year old brother. I recently left my job, and i dont really have the money to spend on their easter gifts like I usually do. My step father makes a lot of money and I always feel like he competes with my gifts, I get something great - he has to get something outrageous. I cant compete anymore... The kids are spoiled so I'm worried that they wont be grateful for what I give them... Its a terrible feeling. Not only that, but the 7 and 8 year old will be turning into 8 and 9 years old in april (so i'll be going gift shoping once again) I decided that instead of putting together easter baskets, or buying a pre-made one...that I'll put together an easter egg hunt for them. I bought 60 eggs and filled them with their favorite candy (so each can possibly get 30 eggs) I did this becuase they'll be getting their easter candy in a fun way (they love egg huts) I also bought an empty easter bucket for each child
--------------------
That is an excellent idea! A gift like that is hard to top, because the kids get to do something fun which builds memories which last forever. Very clever :) lol

does this letter sound good?

i made a gift basket for the doctor that delivered my baby a few months ago with a bunch of coffee stuff in it because his medical assistant told me he liked coffee. i wanted to put a thank you letter in it and was wondering how the following sounds. if you have any suggestions please tell me Sorry it took so long to get this to you but I'm sure you understand how things can get delayed with a new baby. But we wanted to thank you for your expert delivery of our wonderful, healthy little girl. We hope this comes in handy if you deliver anymore 8 1/2 lb babies at 12:20 am
--------------------
First of all, congratulations on your newest family member! It's a really nice gesture to send a gift basket, especially one so personal. The only suggestion I have is to not start your second sentence out with "But". There is no need for this, it is gramatically incorrect, and it adds nothing to the meaning of your sentence. I would do something like this to simplify the sentence and bring it all together. "I'm sorry it took so long to get this to you (I'm sure you understand how a new baby can delay EVERYTHING), but we wanted to thank you . . . " Once again, it's a real special way to thank your doctor. Congratulations on your little girl!

Realistic view of Hell?

As if anything said in the Bible makes much logical sense anyway, I was just thinking about Hell and how much it makes no sense. First, Hell is portrayed as all fire and brimstone. That is probably because of geographical assumptions of Hell. How it's "below." But I always have and always will associate cold not warmth with death. The geographical assumptions of Hell are void because it's a spiritual place so it can't even be a real place even if you believe in it. The other part about Hell that I really don't get is the torture part. I don't get it. You sin and follow Satan all of your life, then you die and go to Hell and he punishes you for sinning and following him? Why doesn't he greet you with a high five in one hand and a gift basket of guns, money, double bacon cheeseburgers and women in the other? What could you possibly do in Heaven to pass the time? Hell seems a lot more exciting.
--------------------
There are two Greek words for the abode of the dead. (Greek is the language in which the New Testament of the Bible was originally written.) Hell (Geenna in Greek, also called the lake of fire and the eternal fire) was made for the Devil and his minions (Matthew 25:41) and will be occupied by all the unrighteous after the last judgement (Revelation 19:20-21 and 20:10-15). There is no biblical evidence that anyone has gone there or will go there until after Jesus' Second Coming (Revelation 19:11-16). The Old Testament teaches life after death, and that all people went to a place of conscious existence called Sheol. The wicked were there (Psalm 9:17; 31:17; 49:14; Isaiah 5:14), and so were the righteous (Genesis 37:35; Job 14:13; Psalm 6:5; 16:10; 88:3; Isaiah 38:10). The New Testament equivalent of Sheol is Hades. Prior to Christ's resurrection, Luke 16:19-31 shows Hades to be divided into two realms: a place of comfort where Lazarus was and a place of torment where the rich man was. The word hell in verse 23 is not "Gehenna" (place of eternal torment) but "Hades" (place of the dead). Lazarus's place of comfort is elsewhere called Paradise (Luke 23:43). Between these two districts of Hades is "a great gulf fixed" (Luke 16:26). Jesus is described as having descended into Hades after His death (Acts 2:27, 31; cf. Ephesians 4:9). At the resurrection of Jesus Christ, it seems that the believers in Hades (i.e., the occupants of Paradise) were moved to another location. Now, Paradise is above rather than below (2 Corinthians 12:2-4). Today, when a believer dies, he is "present with the Lord" (2 Corinthians 5:6-9). When an unbeliever dies, he follows the Old Testament unbelievers to Hades. At the final judgment, Hades will be emptied before the Great White Throne, where its occupants will be judged prior to entering the lake of fire (Revelation 20:13-15). God bless!

How can I help out the parents of a baby newly diagnosed with cancer?

A close co-worker/friend's daughter just had a baby six months ago and he was diagnosed with leukemia a couple weeks ago. He's going through chemo right now and through Christmas. My co-workers and I want to help out somehow but we don't know what to do. Should we take up a collection of money for the little expenses? Or get a "gift" basket together? Any ideas would be helpful, but we are just at a loss because nothing can really make the parents feel better, we were just hoping to get something together to let them know that we all care so much and are praying for them.
--------------------
I totally understand your feeling of wanting to make things better but feeling helpless. I felt that way when my brother told me his 2 year old was diagnosed with leukemia. Most of all, just let your friend know that you are willing to help with whatever they need. Ask them how you can help. Send a card signed from the office. Other suggestions - provide food/meals. Usually when the child is first diagnosed, the child and at least one parent are constantly at the hospital for days/weeks at a time. You can either buy gift cards to the families favorite restaurants or work something out with the parents and your coworkers to bring home cooked meals either to the hospital or their house on certain days. Another thing people do is gas cards. Most of all, just let your friend know that you are willing to help with whatever they need. For my brothers family, people cleaned their house, mowed their lawn, provided gift cards for meals and babysat his other two young children so he could go up to the hospital with his wife and daughter. If your friend has other children as well, it would be nice to do something special for them or with them as their lives have been turned upside down as well.
