I make baskets and they turn out functional and really beautiful for under 5 dollars. I buy nice, but used baskets (wicker, wire and cloth) at a local thrift shop, I then place tissue paper in the bottom of it and I have a collection of thing that I put in these baskets.

I buy tea in bulk and add different tea bags, such as peppermint or sweet dream teas. along with body lotion and body wash which i buy for 1 dollar and the dollar stores and add a bath sponge, a small candle, some bath beads, and some mints or other candy, i then wrap up the basket with colorful Reynolds wrap (it comes in great colors) or sometimes just plain clear wrap and top each basket with bow or ribbons from the dollar store.

I have already made over 20 of these baskets, takes no time at all and they are a hit! I also buy pretty jars at flea markets, garage sales, etc., and fill them with candy or nuts and put a nice bow on it and it looks great, takes all of 5 minutes.

For my dog loving friends I buy dog treats in bulk and fill jars or small baskets, again covered with wrap and a bow and give it to them and they love it! ~Gwen

I have ordered my Christmas cards now so that I can get them addressed and then can fold a letter into them later so that it will not be so hectic around Christmas. I have also started picking up presents and stocking stuffers.
