Budget gift baskets for Universal?

[r4blessings]

Hi everyone! I've done gift baskets for my kids twice when we went to Disney and have always loved memories by sarah's (now betseys) work. But my dear SIL and BIL have booked us a room at the Hard Rock Hotel at Universal in Feb with them to celebrate my DH's 40th birthday!

Obviously we are so excited....we've never been, we are disney addicts through and through! My question is this....I'd like to have baskets made up for my SIL, BIL and their two girls to be waiting in their room (they get there a day ahead of us, since we are driving). Is there a place that I could order from, like memories by betsey? I would do it myself and bring it down, but i have no idea what to do in a universal themed basket.

Other than paying for the big birthday dinner, does anyone have any idea of a cute thank you for them?

Thanks! Have a great sunday night!!!

There are several themes you can use if you choose to make one yourself. You can use Hard Rock, with items that include music type things or Spiderman (My Fave) or even a Margueritaville basket.

Depending in their likes you can come up with something based on the themes in Universal Studios (ET, Men in Black, Shrek) or IOA (cartoons, Dr. Seuss, Jurassic Park)

You can call Hard Rock and ask them for suggestions, also. Enjoy the Hard Rock, I've been there 3 times and loved it!

Im guessing you already did but did you ask betsy if she will do a universal one.?

Have you tried PMing DIS member Feralpeg? She might be able to make a Universal basket for you.

I've checked with Memories by Betsy before and she definitely will deliver to the Hard Rock Cafe. She also just recently lowered her prices so it's even a better deal than before (and she was the least expensive when I compared even before lowering her prices ). Good luck!!!

Thank you everyone for your advice, and sorry I haven't responded to all your kindness. Just got back from a stay at the hospital with ds6 who they thought had rocky mountain spotted fever Thank goodness not, but it was a scary experinece getting transferred from one local hospital via ambulance in the middle of the night to a much larger teaching university hospital!

So after a long nap today I will be checking out memories by betsey and the other links! Thanks to you all!!!! Stay warm and have a good weekend!

I'm so glad that that everything worked out for the best. It must have been very scary. It makes you appreciate how lucky we really are. Good luck with everything!!!

Thank you! Just had dd's 4th birthday party yesterday, and NOW I can officially relax! I emailed betsy and she said she would do the baskets for me, and she is going to scout out some merchandise and let me know what she can do.

I'm so excited to go to Universal....but nervous because I don't know what to expect and there isn't as much info for universal as there is for disney. I just want it to be a special vacation for DH for his birthday. Either way I'm sure it will be awesome!

Thanks for your help and kind words!
