    I am looking for ideas for baskets. For instance I am thinking about in one basket lining it with Christmas fabric and then filling it with a jar of homemade spagetti sauce, a package of spaghetti and maybe a bottle wine. Does anyone have any other ideas? What gave me this idea was last year one of my daughter's friends made a meatloaf and put the cookig times on it. My daughter works long hours and this friend knew she loved meatloaf. I am also making homemade lotion with maybe some soaps for another basket. BTW I found my baskets at yard sales

    You could do coffee baskets. A couple of coffee mugs, some flavored coffee, chocolate covered spoons, etc.

    How about Pillowcases for those young boys, you can get sport fabric at Joann's and with coupon's is a good buy...

    A light weight , new, kitchen towel.... fold in half either length-wise or width wise, stitch around leaving an opening to pour about 2 to 3 pounds of rice into., stitch shut. Stick it in your microwave for 30 seconds or up to 2 minutes, depending on your microwaves heating abilities. These rice bags hold their heat for a long time. Bag made square is nice for backpain as you can flatten it out and lay on it. The long way allows you to wrap it around your neck/upper shoulders or around a sore knee.

    Somewhere I used to have a poem that went with it. Probably could google it and get something.

    You can make one of these in about 2 minutes. Its quick!
