Idea for gift basket using stockpile...

[Vacation Lover]

I'm giving my MIL a "necessities" basket for Christmas using many items from my CVS stockpile. I've decided to call it an "Economy Survival Kit" and add a funny card to the basket. The card reads:
Economy Survival Kit
In this basket you’ll find everything
you need to beat the economy blues!

Toothbrush/Toothpaste…Because the economy has left a bad taste in your mouth.
Household Cleaners…because SOMEONE has to clean up this mess!
Pain Relievers…to dull the pain in your wallet
Shampoo & Hairspray…We’re gonna wash this mess right out of our hair!
Allergy medicine…because this economy is nothing to sneeze at
Make up…because we all know there’s a cover up going on somewhere
Air freshener…because the stock market stinks these days
Body wash & a scented candle…so you can relax the stress away
Deodorant…Don’t sweat it—things will get better soon
Publix gift card…because you gotta eat somehow
And if all else fails…EAT CHOCOLATE!

Other ideas...
Toilet paper...because the economy's in the toilet
razors...to help you shave your budget

Here's a picture:

Hope this helps someone!

Great idea! The basket is too cute. I also love the wording you give to describe everything. I lol about it because it's so true. I think she will love it. I know I wouldn't mind have the BBW stuff. lol You should make more of these and sell them. You are crafty and should brag about your work.
