Christmas Gift Basket!?

I am making a gift basket for my father-in-law and was wondering if it would be ok to start buying hard chocolates and caramel popcorn and assortments to go in the gift basket?

Christmas Gift Basket!?
I think that gift baskets are such a good gift, b/c you can personalize them as much as you want. Last year I made my grandmother one, at the time she was going through chemo, and didn't do a lot but stay at home, so i put teas, a mug, her favorite candy, crosswords, stuff to keep her mind busy, i also put it in a really neat basket that she had re-used. I think if he likes chocolate and popcorn go for it.

Reply:That sounds great my father in law likes peanuts as well in his gift basket also he like sports so I'm adding a couple of sport items.
Reply:Hard candies should be fine, but I'd wait on the popcorn.
Reply:Hi, Just a suggestion. Have you priced how much your basket is going to cost you to put together yourself? Sometimes we can do better with already made baskets. Here is a website that has some pretty cool things. http://www.cajuncountrygifts.com/go.cgi?... As far as your purchasing things now to make for your own, the chocolates would probably be fine, but I would hold off on the popcorn for a bit. Good luck on your basket project.
Reply:Yes, You can buy the stuff now for the basket.
