Halloween Gift Basket Ideas Gifts For You and THEM

Halloween Gift Basket Ideas-The Shock Effect

For Halloween Gift Basket Ideas you will need to get into the Halloween mood of shock and awe.

Or at least a startled disappointed initial reaction.

As an example:

Your mother-in-law loves beef summer sausage, goat cheese and Halloween candy corn.

And that is what you want to put in her Halloween gift basket:

Note: Never give a 'good for you' gift, always give a gift they will enjoy.

A 'good for you' gift breeds resentment and hard feelings, so it is a total waste of your money and effort.

Now what about the Halloween Gift Basket?

Look around for a clean in good condition cheap toaster, blender or small microwave BOX.

It is the box you are interested in. Keep your eyes open, someone is always throwing these boxes away.

DO NOT give them a box representing something they need or want.

Put your gifts for them inside the box, use wadded up paper to fill in the bottom of the box.

Close the box, and using a thick black magic marker write on the box:

Happy Halloween

And their name.

You want their startled and horrified:

'how dare they give me this cheap' reaction.

Make sure they open the box and don't just shove it on a shelf somewhere.

By choosing different boxes, this Halloween Gift Basket Idea will work for kids, men, women, seniors, students and everyone else.

If you are giving a golfer a gift basket, and you know he despises football, give him his goodies in a football box. He will be so startled he won't notice the golf tees sticking out of the holes on the box.

Halloween Gift Basket Ideas-Wrapping

Do you want to wrap the items, or at least some of the items in the gift basket?

Do you want to wrap the entire gift basket?

Let the wrapping provide the shock.

Remember just black plastic garbage bags, you can cut them into pieces to wrap small items.

Nothing looks like a garbage bags but a garbage bag. If you use the ones that are white, the things inside might show through, this will lessen the impact.

The ones with pumpkins printed on them will also lessen the impact. Get all of the instant shock you can.
