I know it seems early to start thinking about Christmas, but
it’s already mid-April and if I don’t start thinking about it now, it will be
here before I know it and we’ll end up in a pickle!
For the couples and (most) adult grandchildren, I’m thinking
about doing a “date night/pasta dinner basket”.
I was thinking I could include a fancy-ish pasta, a nice (or
homemade) marinara sauce, pesto, a bottle of olive oil, a bottle of wine, and
(homemade) canned green beans… kind of a “dinner in a basket”.
Depending on how much I spend I could include something else
to complete the basket: a game, a dishtowel, potholder, something for dessert,
etc. I think it has the potential to be cute and not too expensive because it
would be a gift for two (for most people) and I can spread out the cost of it
over the course of several months.
For my family alone, it would be used for 21 (that count is
off the top-of-my-head) gifts. I would also be able to give it as one of the
gifts I give to some friends. (I have several friends who I give more than one
gift, it would be one of the gifts they receive.) I would give the gift as a
“couples” gift to those who are coupled which is really where the cost savings
comes in.
