Items in the basket can range from aromatic candles to bubble baths. There were many lotions, shampoos, perfumes, soaps and even make-up that was free this year that would work in this basket. If you are a gardener, you can give seeds, cuttings, bulbs, or you can buy them. Tiny shovels seem to disappear, and are always appreciated. Gardening aprons and knee pads can be made.
Free catalogs are fun to look at.
Craft items such as birdhouses or wind chimes upgrade this gift. Use lots of small games, cards, crossword puzzles, jigsaw puzzles- anything that families can do together and have fun. This is very easy to do with music rented from the library. Include some unusual tapes, such as for relaxation.
