Alright, ladies, you all helped me come up with ideas for my welcome baskets… here is the (almost) finished product (my Dad later wrapped with cellophane and tied with a teal satin ribbon– you can kind of see one to the right of the red chair):

This picture does not do the baskets justice since it’s not a close up, but I was seriously sleep deprived and amazed I even remembered to take this snap!
So, here is what I included:
-Cactus lollipop
-Arizona iced tea
-2 bottles of water
-Jalapeno potato chips
-Chex mix
-Either a Reese’s peanut butter cup pack, Hershey bar, or Kit Kat
-Orbitz gum (in sea green!)
-2 lindt truffles
-A big cookie
Seriously, I wanted to eat one myself.
You can’t see it, but we filled the bottom of the baskets with this crinkle stuff:

For those who are interested, it’s called “spring fill” and it looked darling! I did it so it popped up around all the goodies.
I will say that these baskets took FOREVER. My Mom and I had an assembly line going and were up until 5am one night doing 60 of them. My mamma is such a trooper. Everyone better eat every single thing in their baskets or I am coming to get them! Just kidding…
