Cheap Wicker Picnic Baskets

This summer we were invited to four weddings. Our friends have children that are getting married and our son and daughter have friends that are getting married. In addition to being invited to the weddings I was also invited to the bridal showers for each of them. We decided that for the wedding gifts for each of the couples we would give a similar priced item from the registry, but for the shower gifts I wanted to find something that would be fun for the couples.

I went to one of my favorite import stores to see if I would come up with an idea. I looked at several things and then I noticed that they had picnic baskets. Also included was a table cloth and napkins. I thought that this would be a fun gift to give that would be personalized to the likes of each couple. The basic picnic baskets had two wine glasses, two plates and silverware. These items were neatly packed in the top of each of the picnic baskets. This left room in the bottom of the baskets to place food items. There were packs included that would be placed in the microwave to keep food warm and also packs that would be frozen to keep foods cool. I bought four of the baskets and decided to fill each with things that each of the couples would like

Two of the couples like different kinds of wines. To fill their picnic baskets I bought bottles of wine, cork screws and a variety of crackers that would go well with cheese. The other two couples did not drink wine, but they are really into hiking, biking and other physical activities. I then went to a local deli and bought gift certificates so that they would purchase the remainder of their picnic foods. While I was at the deli I bought gift certificates for the other two baskets as well. I decided to put energy drinks in their baskets along with the deli gift certificates.

Each of the couples seemed to like the gift of the picnic baskets. My daughter told me that one of the couples invited her and her boyfriend to go on a picnic with them. They did use the picnic basket and bought food from the deli that the gift certificate was from. I think it is also fun for the couple to get some gifts that are not on the gift registry so that there are some surprises when they open the gifts.
