I am accepting new or gently used donations to put in the baskets right now. If you have items or can buy a couple new things to help us out and donate, here's what I'm thinking, but I am open to other ideas too!
Witchy Vibes ---
I have some cool Harry Potter stuff and metaphysical stuff to put in here, but if I can get coupons or gift certificates for local psychics, cute witchy Halloween decorations, crystals, etc, that would be awesome!
Analog --
I have some crossword puzzles, DVDs, a little older flat-screen, I might have someone donating a DVD player, so anything in that realm of physical media or screen free entertainment would be cool, including more activity books, adult coloring books, a Walkman, coloring supplies, Journaling supplies, etc
Date Night--
I actually have quite a few things for this but if anyone has any other ideas like a coupon/gift certificate for something like a restaurant or a local flower shop or even movie tickets for two, I'm open to ideas
Cooking and Baking --
I have quite a bit of cookbooks and a few cooking supplies but a set of nice wooden utensils, a cutting board, or a nice set of salt and pepper shakers would be so cool. Pot holders? A whisk?
Vintage Elegance Cat Lady --
Think grandma core meets kitty cats. I already have quite a few things for this one, but think florals, pastels, and cat owner items
Cozy Retro Doggy Bag --
Think a bit brighter (perhaps primary) colors, dog owner items, this one has a bit less of a focused theme but still whimsical in its own way
Self Care Day --
Bath bombs, soap, maybe books with positive affirmations or positive messages, teas, self care supplies, a gift certificate to a local massage place or salon
Superhero --
I already have quite a bit for this basket but movies, plushies, coloring books, books, comics, stickers, posters... this one is geared more toward kids but I'm sure some adults would still like it!
Coffee --
Coffee supplies, I might go buy some grinds from a local coffee shop or two unless someone wants to beat me to it, if anyone has any cool gently used or new coffee supplies like those pour-over coffee drippers; maybe k pods, flavor syrups, the works
Rainbows and Unicorns --
Once again geared toward kids but anyone can enjoy the basket! Lots of colors, maybe cute stuffed animals, coloring books, books, stickers, decor, or other ideas
Spooky and Scary --
I have It and It 2 on DVD so maybe Scary books, Scary movies, halloween decor, supplies for an at home movie night perhaps?
