Gift Baskets

[mommary]

Can someone give me names of companies for gift baskets for WDW.
Looking for something fun for a 5 year old during the holidays.

They have really nice baskets, but they are a little pricey!! But if your wiling to spend the $$ they really are worth it! Some people even make there own and ship them down to the resort they are staying at. HTH!!

peggyssweetsandmore.com

never heard a complaint about any of them

 

[rentayenta]

We used www.memoriesbysarah.com for our trip this Sept. which is now www.memoriesbybetsy.com and have no complaints. If Betsy is as good with communication and detail as Sarah was, she'll do well!

Very, very cute. I thought they seemed reasonable. Great scrapbooks and autograph books, too.

Betsy is awesome! She is going to be doing 2 baskets for our trip. One for DS6 and one for the future ILs. She has been very quick with responses! I highly recommend her!

Great suggestions..........thanks so much!!!

Just another ringing endorsement for Memories by Betsy (www.memoriesbybetsy.com). Here is the picture she sent me of the surprise gift baskets she created for DS and DD. We are going to be in WDW in August and I can hardly control myself and not spill the beans. I kept changing my mind about DH's basket so I haven't received a picture yet but can't wait to see it. I couldn't be happier with her!!

I used the disney florist on our past trip! This came inside of a WDW bag that I got special from the disney mail order dept.

I thought the price was decent and the service was great!

I would recommend memories by Betsy also. I don't have a picture of the baskets, but she is very nice to work with. She responds to your emails right away.

Anyone got any suggestions for my DH basket? I'm stuck for ideas.

I had 2 baskets from peggy last September for our wedding trip and they were great, but contained mostly snacks and candy and as candy is no longer allowed 'm stuck for ideas.

go with a theme! You can do a resort theme or sports or even a romantic one. Your trip is during New Year's so that has lots of possibilities. Have noisemakers, hats, wine glasses, champayne etc.

 

[penlanspice]

Thanks mom2of2. We are staying in a villa over NYE and get to WL on the 2nd so can't really go with a new years theme like the noise makers etc.

I am already working with Betsy and she has the WL throw and another throw to start them off (the WL throw is for my basket!! yes I must have one too. LOL)

Anyone willing to share what they have done for their DH?

 

[ashbee]

I am also working with Betsy and I have no clue what to put into my husbands basket because he is super picky about what he likes. So, anyone with ideas would be great. The only thing I know I will put in his basket is a refillable mug and a ball cap but so far that is it.

 

[mom2of2]

Have you asked Betsy what you should include? She's a professional and knows both the merchandise as well as the cost so she should have some suggestions for you

 

[LisaNJ25]

are they the type to go to the arcade... you can put the refillable arcade cards in there.. I did that for my older 2. How about a disney gc in the amount for the rental of a sea racer.

 

[Tink-aholic]

I am using Betsy, too...though I ordered when it was Sarah's. In my DH's I put a hat, some Mickey golfballs (he loves golf), a refillable mug, and assorted snacks. My son is an avid pin collector, so I got him a lanyard, pins, arcade card, a matching hat, and snacks. Mine is a smaller version of my son's (no arcade card, fewer pins, etc). I spent just over $250.

If these go well, I will probably order something for my neighbor who is going next month.
