Default Basket for Silent Auction

As some of you know the company my bil works for is having a benifit to help raise some for the medical bills, and household bills, as things are piling up quickly!

At the benifit they are going to have a silent auction where the baskets will be raffled off. I want to make a basket but have no idea what theme to do it in. Any suggestions?

Depends..I am making one this year for a couple of people.

I'll put in homemade Jam and salsa...a tin full of fudge and no bake treats. Also cookies in a jar. HTH

Good ideas, Lessly!

Each fall my hospital sponsors a basket raffle for the United Way.

Various individuals or group donate each basket and people then
buy raffle tickets. It is always fun to see how creative people can be.

Let me think....

1) Cardinals Baseball

2) Cubs Baseball

3) Chocolate lovers

4) Lego land

5) Playdough fun

6) Mary Kay cosmetics

7) Spa products

Scrapbooking

9) Avon products

10) Wine tasting

11) Gardening

12) Video Night w/ snack foods

13) Men's Night - 6 pkg of beer plus lots of snacks

14) Beer Rocks - a variety of single serve beers

15) Italian Night

16) Let's Bake Cookies

17) Teddybears on Parade

1 Card Party

19) Hair Products Bonanza

20) Pedicure Party

Several contain gift certificates too - like Victoria's Secret, Video Store GC, GC to the mall, etc.

Use your imagination and have fun!
