Baskets are wonderful gifts, especially at Christmas. But they are enjoyable anytime of year and for any occasion. I have a big red one lay tissue paper in and let hang over the sides, a little. Fill with items for my family and deliver or leave it on the doorstep on Christmas Eve. This tradition is something they look forward to. Everyone goes to my daughter's on Christmas Eve, that's where the kiddies are. Christmas Day they head to "Grandma's" for more gifts and dinner.

Here are some suggestions for baskets but remember. It's you who make them "personal" and you can select from all the lists:

ITALIAN DINNER
(This is great for newly weds or new home-owner)

Spagetti Bowl
Bottle of Wine
Loaf of Italian Bread
Pkg of spagetti Noodles
Jar of Tomato Sauce

You can use 1 or 2 red and white checked T-towels to line the basket. For a more elaborate basket, add wine glasses, cheese grater, spagetti tongs

This great idea comes to us from Sharon Goldberg (Thanks Sharon for sharing)

Wicker or Grapevine Basket
Tablecloth and Matching Cloth Napkins
Two Crystal Glasses
Wine or Champaigne
Grapes
Brie and/or other Cheeses
Crackers or Fine Italian or other International Style Bread

* Mix oatmeal and a little glitter. Reindeer love oats and the moonlight on the glitter will help the reindeer find it. (Mom, better have dustbuster handy so the kids will see it gone on Christmas day.)
