Just a Few Ideas for Easter Baskets

Just a Few Ideas for Easter Baskets
Sometimes I like to give friends something special for Easter. For an adult the traditional Baskets are alittle childish, but just because we grow up doesn't mean that we have to stop celebrating the holiday. Here are a few ideas for alternative baskets.
Spa Basket: Get a great wooden basket and fill it with personal relaxation products. Some things you can add are; a towel, bath beads, bubble bath, hair clips, perfume, body lotion, loofa, bath pillow.
Vegitarian Basket: Fill a basket with things related to meat free eating. You can add; fruit, a cook book on vegitarian cooking, a stuffed animal, popcorn, a small sauce pan, cooking utencils, a potholder.
Momma to Be Basket: fill a basket, or diaper bag with great baby items. You can add; a blanket, onesies, socks, bottles, pacifiers, diapers, rattles, diaper pins, a stuffed animal, a really great outfit (assuming you know what it's going to be boy or girl).
Wife Basket: Fill a basket with things your special woman would love. Some things you can add are; Taper candles, grill lighter, something lacy (guys, you get to pick it out), Two champaigne glasses, a great champagne or wine, CHOCOLATE!!!, a new romantic CD, A poem (written by you), you can cover it with flower pedals or just put a couple of her favorite flowers in it.
Husband Basket: Fill the basket with things your husband would love. Some things you can put in it are; Music, Video game, magazines, beer, chips, a new t-shirt, a hat, his favorite movie, a love letter (you write), a sexy picture of you.
Handy-man Basket: Fill the basket with tools related to his hobbie or job. you can put in it; screwdrivers, nails and screws, wrench, measuring tape, pencils, hammer, utility knive, a couple of woodworking patterns, a book on projects, work belt, nuts and bolts, laser level.
Cooking Basket: Fill the basket with food related items. Some things to add are; a cooking pan, cook books, utencils, spices, potholders, kitchen towels, an apron, timer, wisk, spatula, measuring cups and measuring spoons.
