If you know someone who's going off to college next fall, a HBA gift basket including laundry detergent, would be a great gift!

Much needed and much appreciated to boot!

I agree with the health & beauty stuff:

For co-workers, friends,....I've done some makeup, shampoo, conditioner, hair color, skin lotion, asst facial stuff in a basket. Added a few candies as well.

I've also done gifts for the kids teachers: Glade candles, air freshener, pencils, candies. I will frequently put in a $5 GC to Starbucks, Target, CVS.. etc

Great idea for the college bound folks from the pp. You could probably sneak in some lysol cleaners & stuff if they're living off campus.

I am planning on giving a couple gift baskets for wedding shower presents this summer... laundry detergent/softeners, dishwashing detergent, candles, sprays, soaps, various cleaners, and nice towels in a laundry basket kind of thing. Basically, a bunch of household stuff. I hope they like them...

Default Re: Ideas for Gift Baskets

I've made lots of the college bound gift baskets. I usually use one of the plastic "milk crate" things that they sell.
Laundry supplies, paper towels, Pledge dusters, Febreze, microwave popcorn, poptarts, soup @ hand, Chex mix, gum, candy, fruit snax, toothbrush, toothpaste, deo, body wash, shampoo, tissues, Advil or Tylenol, cough drops, cough medicine. I made these for my son & his friends when they started their freshman year last year. They loved them. I've already started gathering things to make them for the guys again this year. If you are buying early - just make sure the exp dates of things are later on in the year.

Default Re: Ideas for Gift Baskets

I did a gift basket last May for a friend's daughter who was going to college. I put shampoo, conditioner, body wash, razors, trial sized tide, lotion, tooth brushes, toothpaste, deodorant and i know some other stuff i am forgetting. Since it was for an incoming college freshman, I went to our local steve and barry's and got her two college shirts to go with all the free stuff.

Last month I gave my 19 year old niece a a basket similar to this. I made a tote bag and used it for the "basket" and put in razors (the good ones!) shave creams, lotions, shampoo and conditioner, lip balm, polish, toothpastes and brushes, and Warm Delights. Not only did she love it but her 15 year old sister told her mom she hopes she gets the same stuff for her birthday next month. Don't tell her.... but she will!

I'm doing similar type gift bags for my 5 sisters-in-law, cousin, mother-in-law, aunt, 4 nieces and 2 daughters this year. The guys are always the hardest!
