Thread: Gift Baskets For the Angel Ball Auction

    Gift Baskets For the Angel Ball Auction

    hey everyone! We have been coming up with ideas for the Angel Ball silent Auction and one thing that we thought would be nice is gift baskets. Dawn has so many wonderful ideas....I just do not know where she gets her energy or time!

    Here is what we are thinking.....Members could donate a themed basket in honor/memory of thier CHERUB including a CHERUBS brochure and story about the Cherub. Here are a few ideas for themes that Dawn has come up with"
    "An Evening In" - candles, wine, recipe for a great dinner with some of the (non-perishable) food and gift certificate to a grocery for the rest, with a great romantic movie, chocolate

    "An Evening Out" - gift certificate to a restaurant, movie tickets, hmmmm... can't think of what else...

    "Picnic" - picnic basket with wine, cheeses and crackers and sausages (the kind that last for a while without being refrigerated), blanket, book of poetry

    "Weekend Away" - the beach idea, or Bed & Breakfasts... with gift certificates from local restaurants, gas cards, etc.

    The ideas are endless!! We would like the baskets to have a value of a $100. To help with this you could include friends and family to help "sponsor" your basket.

    What do you all think?

    I love the idea of making a basket in memory/honor of Your CHERUB.
    Getting Friends/family to help. What fun!!!!!!
    I would like to do a basket with candles, a bottle of wine and 2 wine glasses.

    This is a great idea for families that can't come to the Angel Ball, but want to help CHERUBS!!!!! LOVE IT!!!!!

    You are so right Barb--the ideas are endless!!!!!!!
    If you posted to "What would you put in your basket." Now you can put it in a basket for CHERUBS!!!!

    Gift Baskets for Angel Ball Auction

    I think this is a great idea. I do think we should have some sort of list ahead of time stating who is doing what so that we don't have 20 wine baskets and nothing else. Need a variety or I don't think there will be much interest in voting. Could also do some kid type baskets, some with toys, or even a pet basket with dog or cat stuff. Just so there is an assortment of things.

    Good point, Tara! There probably should be just one basket for each "theme".

    And we want to include a CHERUBS brochure and story of your cherub as well in each basket. Oh and you have to post photos here of your baskets!

    I might do one in memory of Shane and one in memory of my sister, Debra, who passed away from cancer. Not sure on the themes yet, will have to talk that over with my family and friends and see what they want to do.

    Ok, who's in and what types of baskets are we doing?

    Ok I want to do a pet one (dog) LOL but I will most likely have to do it when I get there. Dawn if I send you the money can you get me a basket? I can buy stuff to put in it here and pack it but if we end up flying I don't think I can pack a basket LOL. I might end up doing two, I am thinking of a movie one too with popcorn and such. I'll let you know.

    The school that I work at recently had a spring carnival and each classroom did a themed basket for a raffle. I can get more ideas from them if you would like. I think this is a great Idea! A coffee basket, hot cocoa, pasta basket you are right the possibilities are endless!

    I have been thinking about trying to do a basket... but if I do I want it to have a meaningful connection to Gabe, was thinking about doing a Red Sox basket, but I doubt there are many Red Sox fans down there. Let me think for a bit and I will try to figure something out and get back to you.
