What is your budget per family?

For my baskets this year for white elephant I'm doing a BBQ basket. I will put in tongs, a oven mit, a couple BBQ sauces, one regular, one hot, a basting brush, a meat thermometer etc.

The other one I'm doing is a beer basket. I will put in a few bottles of "different" beers, a bag of peanuts in the shell, a bottle opener, etc.

This can all be bought at the dollar store with the exception of the beer.

With the family with kids I would for sure do a movie basket. I'd put in a couple bottles of pop...microwave popcorn, and a $5.00 blockbuster or movie rental gift card.

My aunt and uncle have been doing fruit baskets for the last couple years.

Walmart.com has some personalized doormats for $16. Here's the link: http://www.walmart.com/ip/Personalized-Bless-This-Home-Doormat-17-x-27/5716825

I'm getting one for myself and one for my sister-in-law and family. You could always add a restaurant gift card if you usually spend more, but you'd have at least one (useful, personal) thing to wrap.

Depending on the family, and the budget of course,

Movie theater gift cards, concert/theater gift certificates (we have a wonderful children's theater near us that I adore!), the obvious restaurant gift cards, gift certificate for family photo session, my favorite gift for the person who has everything - stock.

What about a gift certificate to a hotel/waterpark in the area, depending on your budget? If they have a wii, or something you could do a family game, and make a basket of popcorn, snacks, etc. Movie theater gift card as well.

We did movie baskets last year, we put an inexpensive movie ($5 or so) in a basket with popcorn and movie candy. Everyone loved it, it was a big hit!!
