I'm just mulling over an idea for a themed mini basket of gifts for my 2 cousins, aged 15 and 11.
My limit is £5 each, but always hope to do it a bit cheaper.
I'm thinking of 5 gifts one for each sense.
Taste- chocolate, sweets
Touch- gloves, hand and body lotion.
Sight- book, magazine.
Sound- CD, (h)earrings?
Smell- body spray, scented drawer sachets.
I suppose if I hit on a theme for each one, say a colour, then that would make it look more co-ordinated too.
Any other suggestions?

...it is not of more importance than daily life, which I have an enduring wish to make as useful and beautiful as possible.

If you went for colours you could go for blue-album by blue and the same for pink. Smell for pink could be charlie pink0

I bought some lovely baskets from Poundland today, all ready for forthcoming birthdays etc.
They were lined in various gingham colours, so they could co-ordinate too!0 -
