You apparently haven't smelled the room where my dog's cage is!! There's NEVER too many air fresheners!!

These sell so fast at my yardsales, try there and donate to church (nursery), baskets for teachers, mail lady, babysitter (with cash, I am not that cheap), pre-school, etc...

Make a small "spa" basket with a vanilla or lavender scented one, travel hand lotion, facial wipes(or cleanser), bar of chocolate and some chap sticks or lip glosses. Give to a lady you may see all the time but isn't a family member(favorite cashier at grocery or drug store, mail carrier, bank teller, etc).

Attach a small card that says something like, "create a spa day at home and pamper yourself this season. You deserve it!"

Dhunny318, Good ideas for "spa" basket contents and card! Did you make one yourself... any pics? I could use some visual inspiration!

I have been reading up on other HCW-ers ideas for gift baskets made with stockpile items. And I think I am going to start shopping and stockpiling with the aim of making gift baskets in the future.

Edited to add: Here is a link to a thread I started in the stockpile forum asking for pics of gift baskets/bags/boxes - just trying to get some visual inspiration for contents, packaging & presentation, card/label wording, etc. I really want to do better next year and put together some gift baskets of my own! Preferably using free or cheap stockpile items. Please post any good pics, links, info, brags, etc. Or just come get inspired by other HCWers! :-)

I am definitely going to start THIS month stockpiling items for Christmas 2009! I love to make gift baskets and they would be great for each member of my family!!!!!!!!
