Tell me what you put in your baskets!

I am getting ready to call Shirley @ the Perfect Gift (after hearing so many glowing reviews!) to order some baskets for the kids and dh. It will be dh's birthday and the kid's first cruises (ages 9 & 5).
Please tell me what you put in your baskets that was original or give me some ideas for ours.
Thanks in advance!

I had Shirley make a "Key West" basket for my Mom - containing all the lime favorites from the Key. Michael received a Mickey basket with a great assortment of treats and toys. I also had a dozen blue carnations for Mom from Shirley that were just as beautiful and fragrant on the last morning as they were the first day. Just fabulous.

I have heard of people ordering sports related baskets for spouses, children, and spa related ones. Shirley has a great talent for picking up just the right kind of things to fill the basket, so I wouldn't worry at all to let her just do her thing!

We sailed in Sept. and I got sand buckets for both of my DDs (5 and 7). They were filled with really nice beach toys (which came in handy in Antigua), sodas, bottled water, and various snacks. Their name was printed on each bucket. Each bucket was $30 and was HUGE! The beach toys were great since we didn't have to pack anything for them to play with in port. It actually helped them to make friends on the beach in Antigua, as other kids from our ship didn't have anything to play with, so my kids shared. Shirley included a great little card that said the buckets came from Mickey and the gang. My girls couldn't believe that the characters gave them a special gift.
THANK YOU SHIRLEY!
