A new thing (thanks to my creative SIL:rolleyes: ) for my DH's family is that we are exchanging group gifts to the adult couples. so called "basket exchange". Each year we have given a basket with different kinds of foods. I would like to do something different. any ideas? It doesn't have to be a "basket" last year creative SIL gave everyone acorn shaped birdhouses, and another gave Christmas placemats. I have 3 couples that I need to do this for, and one that has to be shipped. I don't worry about the exact thing for them. Our price range is about $ 30-40.
 
Here are a few ideas:

1) The no sew fleece blankets that everyone on the Dis was making last year. I made three last year. Very easy to make and very beautiful.

2) A basket full of things for a movie night at home. A gift certificate to Blockbuster, popcorn, nuts and chocolate.

3) A basket with a game theme. Fill the basket with a deck of cards and a couple of board games like Disney trivia.

4) A basket full of things to drink like fancy hot chocolates and designer coffees and maybe a gift certificate to Tim Hortons.

5) Personalized wreaths. Buy a standard green wreath and wire on items that relate to the family like their favorite type of pet, sports team and so forth.

6) How about a book theme. Buy a few books and enclose a bookstore gift certificate.

7) Homemade cookie and brownie ingredients in a mason jar with a pretty top and ribbon.

8) How about a basket with a giant soup mug, a pretty soup spoon and some specialty soups.

9) How about the movie "It's a Wonderful Life" along with the "It's a Wonderful Life" boardgame.

10) How about his and her terry robes. I think Target is selling them right now near their bath and towel area.
 
One year we received a pancake basket...it included pancake mix, real maple syrup, mixing spoons, a dish cloth, and a couple other things that escape me at the moment.

I was thinking about making a travel basket for some friends that travel a lot with travel sized toothpaste, toothbrushes, toothbrush holders, body wash, lotion, and shampoo.

Another year I received a chocolate-covered everything basket, which was pretty cool! Probably not good if it has to be shipped though.
