You could do fruit, and go over and help them eat it, or you can do a potted flowers, that they can plant in their yard, or you can do candy,, cookies, bottle of wine,and cheese, get you a nice basket, and some clear plastic bags, you can buy them, and don't forget the bow, or you may want to do it with toiletries, like deodorant, perfume, soap, garden tools. this is some ideas, you can be creative.
Can anybody give me specific directions on how to make a gift basket for a family who are neighbors? thanks!?
look on net
Reply:what exactly do you mean do you know what to get or what? i would need more detail! I make gift baskets!! if you have stuff and need help assembling it is is really easy! First get some filling of some kind to put on the bottom, Then put the stuff you are giving them in the basket ad arrange it nicely the you can use some cellophane or some netting to close it and tie it with a bow!

Need some ideas for a gift!!?
My brother and sister in law want for nothing and I am trying to come up with a good idea for something to get them. I was thinking about a gift basket but a homemade one. No idea what to put in there. They have been married for a little over a year. Any ideas would be helpful!

How about a good bottle of wine? I dont know much about wine, but I am sure that a high end liquor store clerk could show you some nice ones.
Reply:His and hers clothes (e.g. sweaters, jackets, etc.).
Reply:If they are under the age of 12 i suggest getting them like games for their systems like xbox 360 games (iif they have one)And also if they are under 30 then like get them like A computer or a tv.
Reply:alcohol. high quality soap, food, cookies, different snacks from other countries, idk...
Reply:walmart gift card or other store gift card.
Reply:card
Reply:Who doesnt like getting hickory farms!
Reply:What do they like to eat or drink? My brother and sister in law like martinis, and they entertain a lot, so I ordered the tiny apples and onions, olives and flavored sugars for them. My sister got them some nice martini glasses at Pier 1, very reasonable.
Reply:Why a gift basket? Just buy them something they can use, like a blender or some other appliance.
Reply:Caramel Apples with nuts
Candy* Canes
Cheese and Bread
Wine
Crackers

What would you make with this?
Someone gave me a gift....and I hate to feel ignorant...She loves to make gift baskets and stuff like that. This contained a loaf pan, a box of chocolate chocolate chip cookies and a jar of raspberry preserves. It also contained about 5 recipe cards---all blank. I couldn't figure out what to make in a loaf pan with those ingredients. What would you have made?
I did end up making the cookies as thumbprint cookies on a cookie sheet though, and filled them with raspberry jam.
What would you make with this?
lol, good question! I think the loaf pan was just a "baking" item for the basket, and the blank recipe cards were for "your" favorite recipes. It was a sweet idea non the less...lol

Reply:Make chocolate chip banana bread!
Its a great recipe and it tastes goooooooooooooooooooooooood!
Chocolate chip walnut banana bread
Makes 2
Ingredients:
Butter (for pans)
Flour (for pans)
1 cup light brown sugar
1 cup granulated sugar
3 cups flour
11/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1teaspoon ground nutmeg
4 ripe bananas
3 eggs, beaten to mix
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup buttermilk
grated rind of one orange (optional)
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, melted
1/3 cup chocolate chips
1 cup walnuts coarsely chopped
1. Set the oven at 350 degrees. Have on hand two 81/2 by 41/2 inch loaf pans. Butter and dust them with flour, tapping out the excess.
2. In a large mixing bowl, break up the clumps of brown sugar with a wooden spoon. With a whisk, stir in the granulated sugar, flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
3. In a medium mixing bowl, mash the bananas. With a wooden spoon, stir in the eggs, vanilla, buttermilk, orange rind (optional) and butter.
4. Add the flour mixture to the egg mixture, stirring until just combined. Stir in the chips and walnuts.
5. Divide batter between the pans. Bake the cakes for 1 hour and 15 minutes or until the top is firm to the touch and a skewer inserted into the cake comes out clean.
6. Set the cakes on a wire rack to cool for fifteen minutes. Then turn the cakes out of the pans and set them right side up to cool.
You really don't have to let them cool. I think they're so good I would rather burn my mouth on the bread then go without eating it after its just come out of the oven. You have to try this recipe. It's not that hard to make either. Despite all the ingredients.

Mothers Day Gift(Moms Please Help)?
I'm putting together a gift basket for my mom for mothers day. I want to do a spa/relaxation theme for it. What are some ideas for some unique goodies to put in the basket. I am already thinking candles and such but I also need to ideas of a good relaxing scent. Any help is greatly appreciated. Also any other ideas for the rest of the day would also be great.
Mothers Day Gift(Moms Please Help)?
For scents I offer something like apple spice or anthing with a nice crisp smell. A good body mist if you would like to try and find it is Blissful. It's really good but I can't find it around here anymore. If you want to do something special for your mother on her day then you could take her to her favorite places or something my brother and I did was when our mother and father were out for the night, we took some of her things she had forgotten about and hid hem around the house. Then we left her a series of clue to find each piece. So maybe take your mom out for the day and then make her avorite dinner maybe and serve her that night. Or turn it into a total comedy so it will be remembered! :)
As my card from me to my mom says;
It's mothers day and thanks for your adivce! I never change horses in the middle of a job worth doing, I know the squeaky whell gets the worm, I never count my chickens before I walk a mile in their shoes, I remember that actions speak louder than a bird in the bush, I never throw good money before my own two feet, and I always count to ten before I catch my death of cold. I told you I was listening!
Thought you might like that...
Reply:any thing with love
Reply:Moisturiserers, Salts, soaps, bath oil..... Wish you were my daughter
Reply:bath salts/crystals... bath sponges, body sprays, aroma therapy candles/sprays/oils...
Reply:If you can afford it, give her a gift card for a facial at a local spa and a certificate for a massage by a certified masseuse, along with those other goodies in the basket! I prefer patchouli scented oil for my room, but that's just MY taste. Anything ginger scented is really great for relaxing too. I'm sure you know what your mom likes scent-wise better than we do, so take that and run with it. You might also want to put a teacup and saucer in the basket, along with a package of herbal tea bags (chamomile is good for relaxing.)
Reply:As far as scent go for lavender unless you know what your mom's favorite scent is..also maybe a gift certificate for a pedicure
Reply:Cameo jewelry
Reply:pillows
Reply:Lavender or eucalyptus are supposed to be relaxing scents
Reply:something minty or citrus. i love those scents

Out due to surgery...what kind of "get well" basket/gift should we send?
My co-workers and I are thinking about sending our great boss (VP Finance, who is in surgery today) a "get well" basket/something. He is very picky! LOL! We know he likes fruits...does anyone know any websites to purchase these things from? Thanks so much.

Reply:why send fruit? Why not a basket were they can do puzzles,games,or even write to people. Even if they like to draw or anything of that nature. Some people that has surgery have a hard time eating afterwords. I would go the easy route.
Reply:Depending on what his surgery is for it might depend on what you send him. Stomach surgery or mouth surgery might call for non-food items. Possibly a spa gift certificate if he likes that kind of thing for afterward might be nice. If you are still interested in fruit baskets look at:

Good luck

Good or bad Anniversary gift?
It's our 2nd year anniversary and we are still going strong! The first year we were together I go my partner a ring along with some other stuff. This year I don't know if I want to get jewlery again. I made a gift basket, got some stuff pet supplies (loves animals), but for the main gift I don't know what to do. My partner works a job they love but makes very little. I wanted to help out by giving a 250 check to start an IRA (Individual Retirement Account, for those who don't know). They could contribute to it monthly and it would obviously grow and grow. I know love isn't about money, so don't answer me back with all that love stuff, this would seriously help my partner out in the long run and I would like to know if you think it's a good anniversay gift? I mentioned I wanted to do it before and they didn't seem to decline. This is a gift not a charity,lol.
Good or bad Anniversary gift?
I think its a great gift, It is thoughtful and useful, and most of all, it came from you.
Reply:its nice enough
Reply:I am happily married for 3 years and I think that would be a great gift. Just when she opens it explain to her why you thought this would be a great gift. Tell he it is the gift that will help her out in the future. I think you will be fine.
Reply:I think that's a really awesome idea, go for it.
Reply:It's a great idea for a gift! =D
Reply:Well I tend to be a little more financially centered than some, so I don't see any problem with this gift. In fact, and IRA is designed as a retirement savings, so it almost seems like you're making a commitment to grow old with her. That's sweet.
Reply:I gave IRA'S to my son's for gifts.
Reply:I thought 2nd Anniversary gifts were supposed to be made out of Callico?
Not only is it a great idea but it can be repeated year on year and it has a forward looking sense about it "growing old together towards our retirement..."
Congratulations!
Reply:how about money down on a school like drawing blood or Dr's. assistant...something your partner would enjoy and gain more income in the future also with these simple to start schools u can add more and more programs..
your partner could be the next surgeon general of USA
