Are you giving her both? Or one or the other? I like the idea of the stocking full of spa stuff and gift basket with the candy and warm beverages. :tree:

Today I tried three different scenerios with the gift basket and stocking and finally decided on mixing them together. I am giving her a blow up foot spa with winter spice foot soak, foot lotion and foot scrub from Avon. But I also included two pc games. a coffee mug, hot cocoa and a box of tea bags. filled in the extra space with tissue paper and snack size milky ways because that is her favorite.

Had enough stuff left over for another gift basket that I might keep for someone else.

probably about $25.00 worth of spa goodies and hot beverages. She will love it.
In fact today she asked me about the winterspice foot works package in Avon. so I know she will like it. :carols:

Sounds like you did a good job! :santa: Is there a way for you to share a photo of your gift basket creations? It may help someone else with their Christmas gift-buying.

There are two ways you can do this: You can attach a picture to a post or create a photo album on here to display multiple photos.

How to attach a photo to a post:

After you write your post, scroll down to the Additional Options box below.
Under Attach Files, click on Manage Attachments.
You can find a file by clicking on Browse beside Upload File from your Computer.
Find the correct photo file, then click Upload.
This will attach the photo to the post you have written.
How to create a photo album:

Go to your User Control Panel by clicking on User CP on the top toolbar.
On the left side under Networking there is a Pictures & Albums link.
Click on the Pictures & Albums link.
On this screen you will see a link titled Add Album.
Create a title and description for your new album and click Submit.
The next screen will show your album's name and description and there will be a link that says Click here to upload pictures!
Click on that link and browse for photos on your computer. You can upload three photos at a time.
Once you have selected your photos, click on Upload Pictures.
After your pictures are uploaded you can give them captions and set one for the album cover.
Make sure you click Save Changes and your photos will be added to your album.

Hope that helps! Let me know if you need more assistance. :waving:

yes she has been working with her hands all year and fussing about her feet so I thought foot spa would be good for her. She has fibro and her feet and legs hurt her alot. but this way she can feel pampered!presents

thanks I hope you can find gifts just as precious as the ones I have made. It is really rather simple when you know what the person likes or wants. I just try to listen to those around me and ask questions to help me decide what to get.:tree:showing presents:christmastree::carols::snowman::santahat:
