My mom loves green apple martinis so I'm trying to make a gift basket for her birthday. So far I have the basket, sour apple mix, and vodka. I need some other ideas for little things to fill up the basket. She already has martini glasses. I was thinking about wrapping it in green cellophane with a big green bow. Where do I find cellophane, would Michael's have it?

I think the best appletini has a little splash of apple juice in it. You could add a couple of the small bottles (you know, the ones you can buy in a six pack/plastic bottles). Also, maraschino cherries, to drop one in the bottom of the glass.

Does she like music? There's a couple of good compilation type CDs out there that have titles like Martini Mix, etc.

Those little charms for the glasses - so they don't mix them up ! :)
How about one of those measuring/mixing/drink maker things

How about some green apples, sanding sugar (for rimming the glass) cocktail picks or a bar book on martinis? If you wanted to be a smart(you-know-what), you could also include a bottle of asprin. :)
I think I've seen different colors of celophane in Michaels and Factory Card Outlet.

You could add something as simple as pretzels....

Michaels does carry colored cellophane, but it is a very thin variety. It tears very easy. I buy the cellophane I use from www.nashvillewraps.com. It is very good cello. Good luck with your basket!
