gift baskets?

DH and I went to the farmer's market tonight and got a bunch of homemade marinades, and jelly, and cheeses, and all sorts of goodies for his parents and mine for xmas. (See prior post, no one needs anything, and I thought this would be a cute idea).

Anyways... anyone know where I can get baskets for cheap? I checked walmart and big lots and I didn't see anything I liked... has anyone seen anything out there in the world of xmas shopping???

    It seems like the baskets at Michael's and Hobby Lobby are always on sale.  Have you tried those?  What about reusable grocery bags instead?  That's what we're gifting--those and produce bags.  Maybe the presentation won't be as nice but it spreads a great message and stops excuses.  Just a thought...I'll stop now.

    All I can think of is Joann Fabrics.  I don't know if they have those by you, but it's a fabric craft store.

    You ladies are amazing! I'll check those out.

    Munkii - FILs company just made those reusable shopping bags as part of their marketing campaign. While you had a good idea, I don't think anyone needs any more of those... they're all over the place! lol

    Hobby Lobby has a big selection of baskets. Also, in their party/gift wrap section they sell colored shredded crinkly paper and colored cellophane. You can use the paper as a cusion in between your items, and then you can wrap the whole basket up in cellophane with a bow and it looks really pretty. I did this for DH's parents the first year we were together when I had no idea what to get them. They thought it was awesome.

    I second (or third) HobLob or Micheals. Our Joanns is small compared to the other two, but they do have a nice basket selection.

    I just checked and baskets are 50% off at HobLob right now, and there is a 40% off one regularly priced item coupon you can print off in case you want to get a filler or something for them that isn't on sale.

    If you have a World Market around you, they always have aisles of baskets.

    This is true.  Definitely check them out if they're in your area.

    Speaking of World Market, I am on their website looking for a sale item they emailed me and it's in-store only, guess I know what I'm doing this weekend.  I digress.  Anyway, they just chatted me and offered me a coupon code for 20% off online today (including their online baskets).  Maybe you'll get lucky too!
