101 Christmas Gift baskets to make

I'm sure most have already been done, but some good ideas....

http://www.craft-central-station.com/projects/holidays/x-mass/basket.htm

I thought I might do this one

Create a [SIZE=+0]kid's bath set.[/SIZE]

Fill a basket with:
  • bubble bath
  • no-tears shampoo and conditioner
  • bath crayons (they let kids write on the tub or the wall, then they wash off)
  • bath toys
  • bath mit or decorative face cloth
  • printed towel
  • robe
  • slippers
and add some new PJ's for my 2 boys to open on Xmas Eve, Might put it in one of those plastic baskets with a handle that can be used in the bathroom later.

HTH

    I love bath crayons! My OH and I have a mural in the shower in his apartment and we leave messages beside the mirror.

  • Thankyou Sarah, I mentioned this to OH and ghe said the bath hamper for christmas eve is a great idea and that we should do it, so I am going to get started on it. I have most of the things in anyway as I always stock up on the shampoo etc when it is on cheap and my cupboards are bursting.

    I'm the same, have loads of stuff in, and I always buy the kiddies PJ's for Xmas Eve, so thought it would be a nice change.

    Found this if it is of any use, thought I could make some christmassy one using the cookie cutters
