What do you think of this?

My DB and his wife are having a rough patch. She is currently in the hospital and likely will not be home for Christmas. Since she was admitted DB was involved in a car accident that totaled his car (he was not injured).

They really don't need anything, so I thought I'd put together a basket of groceries and add a gift card. The groceries can either wait for DSIL to be released or DB can share with his DMIL who lives with them.

I'm making a basket, well a palin metal tub from AC Moore, with

• pancake mix & syrup
• Chunky soup
• crackers & peanut butter
• spaghetti & sauce
• brownie mix
• Reese's miniatures (DB's fave)
• $20 gift card - probably for WalMart

For DH's aunt, uncle and cousin I'm making a "Snow Day" basket, actually I found a metal tub already painted with a snowman scene.

• Snow Day DVD
• popcorn
• S'mores - chocolate bars, marshmallows, graham crackers
• hot cocoa and coffee
• cookie mix
• fleece throw

I think DH thinks I've lost my mind. I think they're both fantastic gifts.

Those sound like great gifts to me!! And very thoughtful, especially for your DB and SIL...hope she recovers and is home as soon as possible!

Sounds like a great and thoughtful gift. Hope your DSIL recovers soon.

Very thoughtful gifts - the best kind!

Those are great gifts. Even more special because you put them together yourself.

They are great gifts. Mind if I steal the snow day one? Sounds really neat.

I agree. With the fantastic gift part, not with the lost your mind part.
