PLEASE help me Stuff a Basket!! Need ideas from Dis-ers!!!

[jagafen]

I'm thinking of having a gift basket put together by Betsy, but it's too soon to contact her with our ordering info, and I need to get myself a little better organized before doing so anyway.....

I need a bit of help figuring out WHAT to have her put in our welcome basket....part of my issue is that like most of us, I'm an uber-planner, and already have the lanyard/pins/autograph apparatus taken care of, and DS knows about all that stuff, so that part can't be part of a "suprise" basket delivered to our room. Also, he always picks out his own ears (which never get worn, but it's tradition) so that's not an option.

I've come up with a few things, but it all seems like a jumbled mess when I look at it. Here's my list so far:

Light Spinners (2) for DS
Spray bottle/fan (I'll try and find it and send it down to her)
Disney Ponchos
Epcot Passport for DS
Refillable Mugs (3)

I feel like there's something glaringly obvious that I'm missing, but for the life of me, I'm not sure what it is....if you were putting together a welcome basket for your family (with Betsy's help) what would you put in it? DS is 7 years old, BTW.....

Thanks for your suggestions!!!!

Maybe a disposable camera for your ds to take pictures of His Disney memories.

How about some Disney snacks like fruit snacks, crackers, ect?

Betsy can't do food....I think it's some sort of Disney rule for off site vendors....that would make it REAL easy though, huh?

I didn't know that! How about Disney charactered swim shoes or flip flops?

this is such a wonderful idea and i just may have to 'borrow' it for our trip in november, however, i'm curious to know -- who is this 'betsy' person you speak of how do you get in contact with her? does she charge for putting baskets together?? this is why i LOVE the DIS -- there is always something new to learn about the one thing we all can't get enough of...DISNEY!!!!
