how can i make a cheap gift basket?
ok so me and my friends are having a xmas sleepover (a little late i know) and we're exchanging secret santas
and i wanted to make a gift basket
i want something kind of wamr and wintry and have some things that we could still use at the sleepover
so far i have:
a bottle of bubble bath that looks like champagne
hot chocolate
popcorn
candy canes
i dont know what else to include
i dont want to put in a dvd
and i gave them pajamas last year too
so what other things could i put in that would cost less than $20 total?
and i dont want frames or make up either
- comfy socks or slippers that can probably be found cheap at a post Christmas sale.
- dollar stores usually carry packages of loofahs or bath sponges that would go with the bubble bath theme
- Christmas scented candles (or a scent that matches the bubble bath) also a dollar store or after-Christmas sale item
- a cute mug to put the hot chocolate in
- a CD of relaxing music or of Christmas music
- sparkling cider to match the Champagne bottle bubble bath
- warm cider mix to go with the cocoa
- mini-marshmallows for the cocoa
Biggest tip is hit your local dollar store and search occasionally you'll find great filler items and your local Wal-mart or K-mart post Christmas Sale
I would pick a theme though either the "relaxing bubble bath" or "Warm Christmas"

christmas gift basket ideas
christmas gift baskets are increasingly becoming a new tradition for many of us who love a handy way of Xmas shopping. There are various reasons to think about these kinds ofChristmas presents this year and for years to come.
Christmas gift baskets offer you all you need to make a remarkable impression. Christmas gift baskets are the right gifts that will be good to give as there are a lot of of these around. A great selected basket makes for an ideal Christmas present as the receiver gets a lot in the package.
I love to give Christmas gift baskets to coworkers and to people nearest and dearest to my heart. There are many designs and countless arrangements to consider. You are certain to find Christmas gift baskets for everyone on your list.
Here are a couple of X-mas gift basket ideas:
Home Made Gifts
A Xmas gift basket that is homemade can be packed with several things that the giver often assembles on their own. Quite often, a home made gift may contain food products which the giver made. Examples of this type of food Christmas gift basket are bakery items, tarts, processed meats, cheeses, bottles of wine and many others. Home-made dinners which are ideal for the Yuletide season can also fit into the Christmas gift basket scenario. Apart from food items, other things that can be handmade and fitted in to a Christmas gift basket are wax lights, soaps, potpourri etc. These are diy things that can be easy to do and are also popular activities for some people. There may be other hobbies that create or make items that can be included in a Christmas gift basket. Someone who weaves may well make the basket on which items are placed or a person who makes home decorations such as porcelain or glass sculptures can wrap these and put them in a basket as a present.
Ordered Baskets
Christmas gift baskets can also be purchased at the convenience of the giver. You will find specialized stores that focus on special items that can be used to fill a gift basket while you will find other businesses that can actually recommend what things to use for the Christmas gift basket. It is ideal to have some idea of what the receiver may wish to receive for X-mas instead of walking around a store and have no clue whatsoever what to get.
Traditional gift baskets
Tradition is important to a lot of of us who celebrate the christmas season. Even though the Christmas gift baskets are somewhat new, you are able to still make choices that are traditional in nature. For example, the gingerbread man arrangement is a favorite choice for a lot of people who enjoy the old fashioned theme. You know that your Christmas gift baskets filled with classic items like gingerbread cookies, flavored popcorn and hot chocolate will be highly appreciated. Some basket designers add special details such as a soldier nut cracker or a basket shaped like a sleigh. Include some ornaments and you have an excellent traditional present.
Christmas gift baskets for the office
What about the workplace? Christmas gift baskets can have a corporate theme. These holiday baskets are containing various workplace inspired items including coffee mugs,premium coffee,exquisite treats as well as handy desk supplies such as pens and picture frames.
Christmas morning gift baskets
Need something a little more personal? Why not check out the many breakfast inspired Christmas gift baskets? These gifts are perfect for any family who likes a great breakfast in the morning. Picture how the recipients will enjoy having all of the ingredients important to make the perfect traditional xmas breakfast. The Christmas morning gift baskets are perfect since they are so useful. I love offering this gift to my brothers family. They look forward to the bed-and-breakfast style meal on the really special christmas morning.
There are countless different Christmas gift baskets to look at. Once you discover how easy and cheap they are, you will realize why these presents will be adopted as a fresh holiday tradition.
