Survivorship is coming, please • If you have a survivor on your team or know one who bring them a survivor basket to give them at the end of their survivor lap. It’s super easy too- just ask each person on your team to donate an item/a pair of people to donate an item if you have a larger team! • Some ideas include but certainly aren’t limited to!: • Spa : lotions, soaps, all that yummy smelling stuff from Bath and Body, fluffy towels, face mask gunk, candles, the works • Chocolate: it’s pretty self explanatory, and there’s a fudge shop across from Diddy. • Movie Night in a Box: Include something like movie vouchers, a recent release, or a gift card to Best Buy to let them pick out a movie of their own. Throw in a few bags of microwave popcorn, some Red Vines, a couple cans of soda, whatever you think is necessary to complete the movie experience. Make the “basket” a popcorn bowl for brownie points • Book: a gift card to Barnes and Noble/Borders/Amazon. com, throw in any applicable Dr. Seuss or Shel Silverstein for a trip back to their childhood, • Gardening: seeds, those little garden utensils, a decorated plastic pot, watering can, bamboo for luck, a foam knee pad • Beach: Just make sure you put in a bottle of sunscreen!!! Beach towel, visor, silly magazine to flip through, bottled water, all wrapped up in a plastic beach pail • Sports: We are the home of the Bruin Basketball team. Enough said? • Cookies: How many different cookie recipes do you know? • Coffee: A mug, a Starbucks/Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf gift certificate, flavored cream or sweetener, some coffee beans. And hot chocolate or tea for when they’re already on caffeine overload! Visit this website for more: themes. html http: //www. homemade-gift-basket-ideas. com/gift-basket-
