ITALIAN CHARMS

Easter basket ideas With Easter peaking around the corner, many “bunnies” often ask themselves the same question. "What am I going to give So-and-So this year?" The answer is really quite simple. Give a CHARM BASKET!
Charm baskets are ideal for anyone and everyone on your Easter list and can be as unique as each person on your list or the basket can be uniquely you! The basket can be generic - perfect for anyone, or specific - designed with a specific person in mind. Easter baskets can range in price from modest to extravagant depending on your budget and/or how special the recipient is to you.
Everyone ready? Let's get a basket put together! I'll guide you through a few "sample" baskets. Generic - Inexpensive: Perfect for the office gift exchange (Build this basket with the gift budget in mind.)
Select the basket: You can select from a wide range of baskets (color, size, shape). Baskets are available at all your local department stores (like Wal-Mart, Target, Dollar stores and others) as well as most hobby stores (like Franks', Hobby Lobby, Michael's and others). Fill the basket: Need some ideas for co-workers? An Italian charm with a computer pictured on it.
A stack of bunny Post-Its. A goofy ink pen or pencil - you know the kind that sings or sparkles or has soap and a wand to blow bubbles! Tiny picture frames for their desk.
Neon colored paperclips. Any "office supply" type item would be perfect! Don't forget the basket filler (you know - it's the Easter grass!) Wrap the basket: Clear, colored, or decorated cellophane is available at the same places you find your basket. Place your filled basket in the center of a piece of cellophane (cut to cover the entire basket) then gather the ends over the basket handle(s) and tie with curling ribbons. Add a gift tag and you're done! Pretty simple and almost painless! Generic - Inexpensive - Uniquely you
