Can anyone help with Christmas gift basket ideas?
So money is a little tight this year and I though a great gift idea for my mom and sister would be a gift basket. I would like it to have a Christmas/winter theme. But I need ideas for items to put in it. I was thinking of homemade hot chocolate mix, a coffee mug, some super comfy socks. maybe some homemade cookies or even cookie mix in a jar. What are some other ideas? Thanks so much to all those who reply!

Cynthia:  That sounds wonderful! You want my address? LOL Maybe some banana nut bread and be sure you put in what the person likes, maybe some fruit and/or veggies. Those are healthy and tasty. I myself would love fruits and vegetables along with the items you mentioned. Your mom and sister are very lucky to have you in their life, you sound very caring. And thoughtful! Merry Christmas to you and yours!!

Shelby B:  That sounds like a GREAT idea! I am doing that for a friend for her birthday and just getting her little things that she loves. You could also put maybe a candle (like a holiday scented one like gingerbread or something). You could even put their favorite candy bar that they don't normally buy themselves. Hope this helped!! Happy Holidays!! :)

molly:  I really like the idea that you had about the hot chocolate, mug, and socks. But another idea is that you could make a bunch of dips. Like spices that they just add sour cream and some other things and they have a great dip. Some good dips and look on line and get serendipity dips. They are inexpensive, home made, and delisious. Then you could add some nice bowls and diffrent types of chips. If you want a christmas theme then make your own ornaments and put them in a basket and add some christmas candles....good luck and i hope i helped.:)

Sunflower:  Dish cloths and dish towels are always appreciated! Also, a seasonal scent of antibacterial hand cream from Bath and Body Works is nice- something you don't really buy yourself, but would love to receive- nice to keep in your purse. Seasonal hand soap for the bathroom, again, something you probably don't buy for yourself, but would love to have!
