5 Fall Holiday Gift Basket Ideas
by Melanie Farkas
Description: Creative ideas for giving a fall or autumn gift basket to a friend.
It is a good time to put together a fall holiday gift basket for a
friend. As I write this, the hot Michigan summer days are behind us. The
days have been cool and perfectly beautiful!
When I was young and lived in Texas, my dad would call this jean jacket
weather. We would be thrilled that cold weather was coming. I don't
know if any Michiganders would use the word "thrilled" to describe how
they feel about winter coming, but we do like to go all out and celebrate
these few short weeks of autumn. Wherever you live, here are five fall
gift basket ideas for you to give and enjoy:
* Apple Pie Kit - Prepared Pie Crust, Cinnamon Sugar, Quality Apple
Peeler, and Apples, of course
* Scarecrow Kit - Muslin Bag or Light Colored Pillowcase (for
head), Old Clothing, a Hat, Stuffing, Rope or Twine and Strong Wire
* Fire Starter Basket - Long Handled Lighter and Pinecone Fire
Starters (Collect all your old candles and crayons in a tin can. Set the
can inside a pot of water and gently heat until wax melts. Dip each
pinecone in the melted wax and cool on a cookie sheet covered with wax
paper.)
* Fall Bulb Collection - Variety of Flower Bulbs, Garden Gloves and
Trowel (This is a wonderful gift that will be remembered again in the
spring and every year.)
* Holiday Decorating Kit - Decorative Garland for Railings or
Mantel, String of Lights, Candles, Window "Snow" Paint, Bird Seed Balls with
Holiday Ribbon
