Put the fleece blanket,mugs,chocolates,and the ornament in mine.Put the other stuff in another one.But make sure that the phone accessory fits,see you put enough stuff for 2 baskets in one.Keep with the cozy theme or the food theme.Good idea..Merry Christmas........

I would actually love a basket with things in it! I realize that there are different perceptions of what the word broke means but if I was broke that would mean zilch. For some people broke means a few hundred dollars left. For me it means there ain't nothing left, honey. lol But that is a great gift you are making. I would love it. Here's a gift that actually sucks; think about this scenario. You get your step brother's family presents for all his kids, and in return, you get a $4 dollar tin of popcorn.

That sounds better than some gifts I've gotten in the past! Just make sure the cell phone accessories are compatable with their service and phone. (or include a gift receipt so they can exchange it) Way to go for giving a non-traditional gift this year!

This is a really great gift. It adds a personal touch to a commercialized holiday. Most people will appreciate the thought that went in to the gift and wont even consider that you are trying to save money.

I think it sounds awesome! I would kind of keep it along the same line of items though...in other words, the blanket, hot choclate, coffee mug and a fruit sounds perfect! (Leave out the cell phone accessory and chili and saucegift set.)

I think it sounds nice and includes an interesting assortment of items.
From my own past basket making experience though, you could probably find a reasonably nice gift for less $$.

honestly, it sounds fabulous. its the thought that really counts. and it takes more thought to make a basket thats cheap than to buy a gift card or dvd player or something. i would like it a lot. especially the chili stuff.

Gifts are supposed to be from the heart, if the gift is from your heart, absolutely, it's a great gift.
