Basket Ideas

Here is a long list of ideas of baskets for you to chose from.  Be creative, but don't stress out it doesn't have to be hard.  The first thing I would do is send a note home and see if anyone in your class owns a buisness that would like to donate to the basket.  A lot of times your theme will come from what they can donate.  If no one has anything to offer, think about your interests or your kids or husbands.  Odds are if you would love to have the stuff in the basket so would someone else.  If you want to ask retail stores for donations do so early because a lot of them need 30 days to get it approved.  If you need tax exempt forms please contact Nicole Cluff or Ellen Hardy and we will get them for you.
