I recently assembled a basket for our WCR Spring Basket Auction. The baskets were auctioned off to raise funds for the organization and everyone got creative.
If you're involved in a Networking organization, such as your local Chamber of Commerce; participate in functions where you have a drawing for a door prize; or are asked to donate something for a charitable function I thought I'd share some of the really fun and very creative ideas these ladies had.
The "basket" on the far right was donated by Two Men and a Truck. Their great idea was to include all sorts of items that would be useful on moving day including toilet paper, cleaners, tape, scissors, bags, snacks, and any other item you can think of.
I was the lucky winner of this Italian themed "basket" which included a huge white bowl that I love, Chianti, pasta, sauce, cheese, and chocolates!
This was a favorite of everyones and I think received the highest bid. It was a green leather tote with all sorts of gourmet goodies including coffee mugs, sauces, candies, and candles.
The lucky bidder/winner was our event sponsor who garnered major points when he took it home to his wife!
There were also baskets geared towards Easter which were full of chocolate, peeps, and all sorts of candies for everyone.
Carol Bloom of Regional MLS is always creative and this time she outdid herself. Her tray/basket had her own Sangria mix, glasses, a pitcher, fruit slices, and other festive goodies.
And, finally Room Service!Home Stagings "Put the Wow back into your Home" basket. I included a gift certificate for a 3 hour ReDesign consultation, and was able to get gift certificates from Benjamin Moore, Ability Tile & Mirror, Marianne's Wallpaper and Windows, and Home Depot. The box was from our Stager's favorite Ross (Under $7.00)
Hope these gave you some ideas for your next function.
Please share some of your Gift Basket ideas!
