I am making a gift basket of entertaining stuff for a wedding present. I need some ideas of what else to add. Dh's cousin is getting married. Her DF has a home already and Dh's cousin used to have her own home(now living with friends out of town for work) so I am trying to think of extras that can use up.

So far I have nice paper plates in both sizes, matching napkins, 2 different plastic serving trays (veg and dip and chip sizes), Large spoon and fork serving pieces, cute kitchen dish towels that match, a matching table cover. (Thanks Taget clearence sales, I have over $35 dollars of stuff for less than half that :cool1: )

I need ideas to jazz it up. I am trying to keep it light weight since I am shipping to FL

Anyone know what grocery stores are near Naples, FL?
 
How about some plastic cups? Like those plastic champagne / wine classes? Or even some decorated plastic beverage glasses.

A picnic basket?
 
A gc for one visit from Merry Maids? Umm...Some nice candies and a small candy dish? Maybe some candle sticks or placemats to use on the table?
 
Neat idea...I recently got married and something like this would have been really nice to receive. How about adding some coaster for drinks, maybe some charms for wine glasses (I think they are cute)...I'll try to think of some more...
 

Thank you for the great ideas and please keep brainstorming. I have a month until the wedding.
 
How about typing up some of your favorite recipes for entertaining. Entertaining idea books or recipe books. Martinis are hot party drinks now and there are so many different kinds of martinis, so you could make up a martini kit with glasses, the mixer thingy, a jar of olives and a martini recipe book. You could even buy some of those tiny liquor bottles to put in the kit.
 
plastic trays that hold deviled eggs, small "spread type" knives (the come in a variety of handles), matching (to paper plates/napkins) plastic utensils, trivettes.
