Mother's Day Baskets


There has always been a time when I have a hard time figuring out what to do or get for my mom for Mother's Day. In the past, you can always get away with making homemade gifts or cards. But as you ge older, expectations are a little higher.

There was always a last minute scramble to figure out how you can show appreciation for your mom. Sometimes I would buy a cake or get a nice card. But the thing is that your mom would appreciate whatever you get her because it is the thought that counts. It doesn't always have to extravagant or extroadinary because she will probably forget about it in a week or so.

I always remeber during my childhood of making homemade gift cards for last minute gift. I know that this probably will not pass anymore at this age. Instead of scrambling for finding something nice for your mom or be content with something that is average for a last mintue gift, check out our various selections for this holidays and other holidays as well. We can be the solution to your last minute struggles of finding the perfect gift for a certain holiday.

Easter Baskets


Easter is not only a time to celebrate new life but it is also a time of renewal and a dawn of a new season. Children all around the world have come to know and love the Easter bunny. A tradition has developed that on the night before Easter, the Easter bunny comes and showers children with gifts placed in their Easter baskets.


Since all of my cousins range from ages 2-7, I thought of making them each their own easter baskets. Since Easter is in the spring and my family usually celebrates by being outside I thought of giving the kids baskets that will entertain them while playing outside.

For the girls baskets I put things in there such as easter egg decorating kits, sidewalk chalk, and jumpropes. To incorporate the Easter theme, I put a soft furry stuffed animal of an Easter bunny along with some chocolate easter eggs and candy.


For the boys I created an outdoor basket that includes items such as water guns, sports balls, and sidewalk chalk, as well as the traditional easter candy and eggs.


When creating gift baskets, be creative and don't worry about sticking to one theme! Incorporating different themes is what makes your basket unqiue and fun!
