Ideas for a Thanksgiving basket

[kristasmom]

My DD10 and I will be spending the long Thanksgiving weekend at my parents house and since we'll just be relaxing at home I thought I would put together a basket of activites for us all to enjoy. Some things I have thought of including are a couple of new DVD's - Polar Express and maybe Christmas With the Kranks (Has anyone seen that?), some microwave popcorn, and maybe one of the board games that I picked up at the sale at TRU. Any other ideas on things I could include?

How about some instant hot chocolate or some marshmallows to roast?

DH and I went to see Christmas with the Kranks last December and enjoyed it. It follws the book Skipping Christmas for the mostpart. I'm thinking my 9 year old son would enjoy it this year.

How about some Thanksgiving paper plates and napkins for snacks while you are there?

When I was young my sister and I always got a new Christmas themed coloring book on Thanksgiving weekend. Might be too "young" for your DD though.

How about a camera and some scrapbooking supplies (fall pages, stickers, etc.) to make a Thanksgiving themed scrapbook?

How about a puzzle?

There was a coupon in yesterday's paper here in our area for "Christmas with the Kranks". I think it was in one of those inserts they do in all of the papers, but it could have been in the Parade magazine.

Is the Polar Express out on DVD? I haven't heard anything about it.

I need help with this. Has anyone else seen this or could someone send me the coupon? I'm desperate.

There is a link here on the Budget Board for a site called DeepDiscountDVD.com. They are having a 20% off sale and there is FREE shipping. The Christmas with the Kranks movie ends up being $14xx. Sounds like a good price to me.

Thanks for all your ideas.
