Silent Auction Gift Baskets
MOPS (Mothers of Preschoolers) will be having a silent auction at the end of November to raise money for supplies. I am wanting to put together a basket to donate to the auction. Does anyone have any theme ideas for a basket? It can be anything but something that would involve the whole family or something special for moms would be nice. Some thoughts that were passed around at MOPS were make your own snowman kit, baby safety stuff (we have several pregnant moms), and movie night basket. I would like a couple more ideas of some interesting things to put in a basket. And if anyone has anything they would like to donate that would be appreciated as well.

Family Game Night Basket, Scrapbooker's Basket, At-Home Spa Basket or a Home-Made purse filled with mom treats.
It would require research but a basket somehow themed around "things to do around town" which might include menus from restaurants where "kids eat free," maybe some coupons to Baskin and Robbins with a reminder that a good report card gets a free scoop, Krispy Kreme (do you have those?) gives 1 free glazed donut for every A. A flyer from a museum that points out when their family days are. I've so many times heard people say "there's nothing to do" or not realized that low cost or free entertainment abounds in their city. You could call it a "Family Knowledge Basket."
Thanks for the great ideas!!!
"wrap it up"...theme basket containing a wide variety of wrapping paper (wedding, birthday...kids/adults, weddings, baby/wedding showers, holidays, etc...), ribbons, gift enclosure cards, tissue paper, boxes, tape, scissors, etc. i did this for a girls "sneaky santa" gift swap and it was "stolen" over and over and over! it was a HUGE hit at my daughter's school auction last year as well! practical and something EVERY mom wants to have at their fingertips!
