Quick! I need ideas for a gift basket


Quote  |  Reply

Friend's birthday is tomorrow (26-year old female).  I'm thinking of putting together a "cozy" gift basket for her---include things like fuzzy socks, hot chocolate mix, a mini bottle of Bailey's, maybe some cute sweats or pjs. 

Does anyone have any other ideas to put in this basket?  I'm looking to spend $30-$50-ish.  Thanks! :)

A bottle of red wine, maybe? How about a book off the best seller list and a box of chocolates?

a Burt's Bees gift bag for home pedis.

I did a 'cozy' basket for my friend who is always cold too!  Pretty much the same as you (sweat outfit, furry socks, hot chocolate, a fuzzy blanket and I threw in her favorite movie that she didn't own and popcorn which she loves) Sounds like you have great ideas and plenty to fill the basket already!

 

How about a great classic movie (It's a Wonderful Life?) and a scented candle?

 

And microwaveable popcorn!

 

EDIT: Because apparently Jennifer and I share a brain!

and an oversized mug for the cocoa

(I <3 the Lemon Butter cuticle creme - as does my dog)

A jar of "Homemade" chocolat milk mix!

Here's the recipe:

2 parts ANY chocolate mix (powdered)

1 part powdered milk

tiny marshmallows, or cinnamon sticks. (Marshmallows are good to add, cinamon sticks are good to mix it with, and add a different taste. Both these are optional.)

The bst of cozy feelings!

Thanks for all the suggestions!  I ended up getting...

PJ set from Victoria's Secret
fuzzy socks
Godiva hot chocolate mix
Godiva chocolate covered strawberries
2 mini bottles of Baileys and Kaluah

I wanted to keep going but I ran out of money. :) 

That's a great gift bernasha!
