Thanks for the basket ideas I am still making a list up Thanks for your help Yes we are getting donations We have a lot of children books signed by authors. Red box Local museums, and a few restaurants. The Event is not til March so I have more time to before I need to bed
Green and Recycled - this one can be very broad, just be creative with it
BBQ/Smoke Meat - always a big seller
Collage or National Sports - another big seller
Fiesta - pinatas, margarita glasses, etc...this one is always a hit but we're in Texas
Wild About Animals - ask local groomers, pet sitters, vets to donate and add toys and other animal items...if you have enough split it into two baskets (cats & dogs)
Sports - anything and everything
Party in a Box - everything you need to have a party...party goods, certificate for a cake from a local baker, certificate for a party (bowling, movies, bouncy/jumpy place, putt putt)
These are just a few we've had repeated success with over the years. Post again if you would like more.
Are you getting items donated? Start looking at Goupon and LivingSocial...we've had success asking companies that are offering discounts for donations because they looking for new customers.
Any types: The ages of the kids are Pre-K to eighth grade. We also have baskets pertaining to households, babies, and adults. I just need some new fresh ideas.
