For all you CRAFTY women

My very good friend lives down the road from me on post and has gotten my mail and checked my house every other day for the last month and a half. She's awesome I LOVE her family. Her husband is my hubbys VERY good friend. I love her kids and trust her to watch Isabella (One of the only people I trust). Anyways back to my question. I want to make/get them something for doing that for us. They are kind of dieting otherwise I was going to do a cookie/goodie basket. ANY IDEAS ARE GOOD IDEAS???
Thanks
Jessica

Go to the local farmers market and make them up a basket of fresh fruits and veggies.   Just because someone is dieting doesn't mean they cannot get a goodie basket.   LOL  

LOVE your new avie!!!

Thank you

what about making your own "edible arrangement" slice fruit and use cookie cutters to cut it out - put on shish kebob skewers and make a pretty arangement!

You are so sweet.....

I like the fruit basket idea a lot...that is a nice gift.....or maybe a gc to a massage place.....

I agree with a fruit basket and you can add in other things like a gourmet type trail mix.....

I've made some really cool 'flower' baskets w/veggies...you cut up the veggies to look like flowers, stick them on wooden scewers and stick them in a head of cabbage in a nice basket...and you could do the same w/fruit.  Of course, it would be something they had to eat w/in a few days...but they're fun to make and very cute.  I took one to Thanksgiving at a friend's last year, and initially she thought it WAS flowers...

i also like the fruit basket....or you can do a basket full of bath stuff.... including man and kid stuff.. :)

Since the season is changing and it's getting colder and good fruit is becoming harder to find, you could always do a soup kit or hot chocolate kit (you know where you layer all the ingredients into a jar.) I made my grandma a chicken tortilla soup jar a couple weeks ago for watching Drew when I was in a bind. She loved it - all she had to do was add water and chicken. There are TONS of recipes out there.
