I need gift ideas for a family ********* gift exchange. A unisex gift with a 50 dollar cap. Ideas?

1 Answer

Answer :

answer:You could make up a gift basket with a theme. For example, if they’re coffee drinkers, you could do various coffees (or teas) with a fancy or funny mug, or teapot and various teas and a tea ball. If they like chocolate or other candy, you could do something like that – various types of chocolate, fudge, candy, whatever. You could do something similar with lottery tickets. Another idea is a bunch of lottery tickets, a calendar, various miscellaneous items. You could put it in a basket, put some celophane on it and a pretty ribbon, make it look “professional.”
