Gift basket ideas

[JBurke]

I am going to call Disney Florist this week and order a gift basket for my three kids for when we arrive next week.
I looked on their website but I did not see any particult design that I really liked.
Last time I used them they put something together for me, so I am trying to think of some ideas for this time around.
So far I was thinking of 3 autograph books, 3 pens, 3 balloons and maybe 3 beanies.
What else I can I put in it to fill it up more? Any ideas?

Maybe some packages of stickers. Or character pencils. Or maybe a Disney pen to get the autographs with. A small photo album would be nice too for them to keep pictures of them with the characters.

Hi there

The WDW florist had a gift that I selected last year for my DD8

It was a full size Mickey Backpack (really good quality - she used it all year for school) the backpack was filled with stuff... a large photo album, candy, chocolate, a scented mickey candle, and a plush sorcerer mickey, a few other things but I can't remember. It was all wrapped in cellophane and was just beautifully done.

It was not on their website but they sent me a photo of it and I chose it. It was about 80.00 including delivery.

Later at the park shops I kept seeing the items separately.. the backpack was 22.00, the candle was 16.00.. etc... it was a really good quality gift.

I am considering doing the same thing for my DD for our trip in October. I'll probably include a stuffed animal from "Finding Nemo". I was also thinking of maybe a new pressed penny book, along with the autograph book and pen.

Here are a few things we included in our kids' Easter baskets one year:
A lanyard
Pins of favorite characters
A Mickey poncho(I knew we would have to get them anyway)
Autograph books
Fat Disney Pen
A WDW fanny-pack, filled with individual-sized snacks to take to the park each day
My son had the stuffed Sorcerer Mickey, my daughter a Jessie doll
Disney Dollars(the biggest hit of all)
A character breakfast voucher(ordered from Connections)--I placed this in an envelope with a little note from Mickey inviting them to join him, and put a few disney stickers on it
A disposable camera

On our first few trips(before my kids got too old and "cool")for Disneystore clothes, I packed their suitcases(Disney-themed, of course)with new outfits to wear. I was so anal I even planned what outfit to wear to each park based on what character was on the outfit, in hopes that we would see that character. Sometimes, we got lucky. If I was planning a surprise for a child now, I would probably include the Pal Mickey doll. I hope this helps a little!

Well I just called Disney Florist and I have to say they were SUPER helpful.
They helped me put together my own basket in mere minutes.
I choose for my three kids (2 girls ages 9 and 5, 1 boy age 2):

3 autograph books
3 pens
2 Princess activity packs (coloring books, stickers, markers)
1 Mickey activity pack
2 Daisy beanies
1 Donald beanie
3 boxes of character cookies
3 latex mickey head balloons
1 mickey shaped box

The message is "Welcome back, we have missed you! Have fun and be good for your mom and dad. Love Your Disney Pals"
(trying to bribe them to behave themselves!)

I cannot wait until they get it!
