Hi just thought I'd post this thread for any MN'ers that could do with a few suggestions......
GIFT BASKETS!!!!
I myself was stuck for ideas and saw someone on tv make up a pamper kit for the partner and it got me thinking....
so on to ebay i went and found a shop that sell handmade bath bombs and soaps at such cheap prices (loads to choose from) so i Bought £38 worth of them (sound expensive but wait for it) when i got them all delivered I realised i had more than enough to do 10 baskets.....thats not including the winnie the pooh sets i got (4 winnie character soaps in celophane bags already giftwrapped -10 bags in total- for £5.99) which i thought would be good for my 3 DD's and their teachers etc....
so from there I had another idea, instead of buying loads of big expensive toys for my 3 DD's (being 6 months pregnant and on budget) i decided to make them up a larger gift basket, which will include arts n craft stuff/hair accessories/costume jewelery/a few games/books/chocs etc etc etc you get the idea (most of which you can buy in pound shops)
I mentioned this idea to my dad who also wants to add to this, I can put all into a big storage box/basket (so will also be killing 2 birds with one stone cos can never have to many storage spaces when got kids) and wrap all up in 1 big prezzie so will look like they got more than what you might have spent on other toys/games.....also NOT AS MUCH WRAPPING TO BE DONE!!!!!!!! so not much mess on day
these are just 2 ideas that I am working on, but the point is you can put your own interpretation into same thing and make each basket/box personal for each individual you giving to.
What do you MN'ers think?
a winner?
I could also use some extra ideas esp for the men in my family.....i find they are the hardest to buy for LMAO
