New Member Baskets
 
Howdy again! I need help from my sisters!!! Soon, my new member class is having an auction... we (with some help from our Bigs) must make baskets that get auctioned off... they must have a theme to them.. I really need some creative ideas. I had some cute ideas, but after some deliberation, I realized that maybe the themes I had come up with weren't good things to promote! ;) (example, last year somebody did a halloween fun basket that had silystring, eggs and toilet paper,ceran wrap... yeah....)

anyway, I thought I could mooch off of the wisdom of my fellow Chi Omegas out there! Thanks for your help!

not a chi o but i always think that the "home away from home" baskets are cute (laundry stuff, snacks, etc all placed in a super large laundry basket)

Without specifics (ie, how much you can spend on each basket and who they're being auctioned off to etc.) these are some of my elaborate ideas!

Girls Night Out Basket:
Containing some free drink cards to favorite local bars.
A free taxi cab ride home card
A disposable camera for pictures
Some mints and gum for fresh breath
And a few gift certificates to taco bell (for after the night of drinking ;))
Perhaps the items could be placed in tissue paper inside an inexpensive look-alike Kate Spade Purse too ;)

Wizzard of Oz Basket:
Containing a donation of ruby earring, pendant or ring. (Dorothy)
A cute stuffed beanie-baby dog that looks like Toto.
Free movie passes (Oz)
Something heart related: like a key chain, a pen, stationary (the Lion)
A dictionary (The Scarecrow)
Obvious packaging in a picnick basket.

Hawaii Chi-O Basket:
Containing a month's worth of tanning at the local salon.
Some tanning goggles.
Tanning lotion.
A pair of nice sun glasses
Cheap margarita classes and a few umbrellas (for the drinks)
And a bunch of lays as the filler
Perhaps the items could be placed into a nice beach bag, or one of those sun hats?

If I think of more I'll let ya know!
