For the first time, I have to send Christmas presents to family this year?
Usually, my family spends Christmas together. This year, my aunt and uncle and cousins are in Florida (my uncle had an operation and they are living there for a year), and my grandparents are spending Thanksgiving with us, and Christmas with them, in Florida.
I am planning on combining my grandparents and my aunt and uncle's christmas gift into one gift basket, and sending it down. Do you think this is a bummer? I am thinking of sending a gift basket with a DVD or two that I know they can watch together, a candle, and some chocolate or other goodies.
Is that okay for four people who are very close to me? I feel bad but my funds are low and I know shipping will not be cheap. What would you add or delete from my basket?
Holly:
The gift ideas sound great!!! I wish you were in my family. HaHaHa It is always the thought that goes into the gifts. You sound like a very nice and intelligent person and I am sure that your family knows these qualities about you. They wont be disappointed I am sure. Oh, and Merry Christmas!!! Sorry I dont do Happy Holidays. I believe in Christ and everything wonderful and magical about Christmas.

Tips in Making Your Very Own Christmas Gift Baskets
A christmas gift basket is more intimate when personalized or customized. Planning ahead on the items to be included in your gift basket would help. Here are some helpful tips that may be useful in making the ideal Christmas gift baskets:
 Think of a theme. Find out the recipient's interests. If unsure, choose neutral items but adding a touch of femininity or masculinity to add a bit of intimacy to the recipient.
 It is best to consider the recipient's hobbies. You can choose items that are helpful to what interests him/her.
 Mix and match items so you can save. Buying them in bulk may minimize your costs for the items you put in your gift basket. You may split those items for different recipients. And you may also pair expensive items with those that are least costly and mix and match them, too.
 You can also minimize costs if you can be resourceful on some of the items you use in your gift basket, such as the basket. You may just redecorate them and voila, it is as good as new. Or you may get them from garage sales or thrift stores.
It is important to make your Christmas gift baskets simple and personal. You don't have to overdo the decorations.
