What can I put in a Christmas gift baskets for parents/family?
angela
The community service club I run in school is trying to support a few families in financial trouble over the holidays by raising money then buying gifts. We're planning on buying toys for the children and then putting together a gift basket for the parents. We were thinking of putting in something for the whole family like movie tickets or a gift card to a restaurant. We were also hoping to get some gift-cards to a walmart or grocery-store and some nice spa things for the mom. What do you guys think should go in these gift-baskets?
Answer
I think the movie tickets and restaurant gift cards are a great idea, that would be a nice splurge for a family who struggles financially!
Other things you could put in- gift card to a movie rental place with some popcorn and candy, a board game, a deck of cards and a book of card games, lip gloss or nail polish (if you know the family has girls or more mature colors for the mom), batteries (for other Christmas toys?), set of extra gloves or mittens for the kids... That's all I can think of, hope it helps!
