Sex and the City gift basket?

I am making a sex and the city gift basket for a friend for her birthday on Sunday. Any ideas on what to put in it besides DVD's?

So far i came up with a t-shirt, vogue mag, cosmo mix, post its, the carrie necklace.

Reply:Dont forget the most delecious item all women want, Chocolate! Get the most delicous, yet colorful chocolate at Target, the Choxie brand. http://sites.target.com/site/en/supertar... [Prices usually range from $2.00 and higher depending on size]. Also, you can find these in the food/candy section.



Plus:



To add a relaxing paradise-y feel for your friend, add bath salts. Buy one at a dollar store, [a pink one preferably] and tie it with a pink ribbon. If you'd rather go the easy route and make it at home, use these:



Epsom Salt

baking soda (opt)

essential oils

food coloring

jars

ribbon, tags, etc.



Pour the desired amount of Epsom Salt into a bowl. (This will not harm your bowl). Baking soda is a skin softener, so you can add some if you want to at this point. Add a few drops of essential oil and stir. You can add more as you go along. Then add a few drops of food coloring to achieve the color you want. It doesn't take much! You can see in this picture that I used only 3 drops of green:

It will clump a little as you stir it, as you can see, but keep stirring and it will eventually blend and be really pretty.file:///Users/Own/Desktop/1-27-07... I used only 2 drops of red to get pink: file:///Users/Own/Desktop/1-27-07+Bath+S... This is how the pink turned out: file:///Users/Own/Desktop/1-27-07+Bath+S... After you mix it all together, pour it into your jars. A funnel helps. You can include a tiny scoop inside if you want to, or just tie it on with a ribbon. Good places to find jars are: World Market, Walmart, and Target. You can even use Ball jars. I used a combination of eucalyptus peppermint for the green, baby powder for the pink, and tea tree for the yellow. This is how they turned out: file:///Users/Own/Desktop/1-27-07+Bath+S... If I give it as a gift, I like to tie on a pretty ribbon with a tag that has the scent written on it: file:///Users/Own/Desktop/1-27-07+Bath+S...

GOOD LUCK!
