| It is about time for a lot of couples to be planning their marriages. Do you have an idea of what to get them? Do want to take a chance on getting them the same old thing that everyone else is getting or do you want a unique gift? I always opt for the unique gift, which is why I started giving gift baskets as gifts at weddings and baby showers. I usually go to some place and buy a wicker style laundry basket. (Wal-Mart usually has them starting at about $3 and up.) I then decide on what type of theme I want to go with. Will it be for the kitchen, the bathroom, general cleaning? The choices are endless. I have done one for the kitchen and one for the bathroom. For the bathroom, you can buy a pretty rug, some fancy soaps, a soap dish, toothbrush holder, hand towels, etc. For the kitchen, I bought a bottle of Dawn dish detergent, dish rags and towels, pot scrubbers, large kitchen utensils (meat forks, spatuals, spoons, basters, pastry brushes, etc.), measuring cups and spoons, a coupon holder, even a tablecloth in a nice neutral color. I'll bet if you put your mind to it, you could come up with lots of really great gift baskets. This is a nice ceap way to give a gorgeous gift. You can find all kinds of things at the dollar stores (just make sure you would use them before you buy) and you can fill a basket up and have lots to give in one gift! |
