Gift baskets are always popular and a great idea to give as a gift whether for Mother's Day or any other time of the year. Moms love to receive gift baskets. Making your own gourmet 'mom' gift basket is cheap and easy. You can fill your gift basket with a variety of inexpensive quality items; you have lots of choices.

I've put together a few great tips and ideas for making 'mom' gift baskets, complete with instructions on how to make them. You can make inexpensive gift baskets or expensive gift baskets depending on your budget. You can easily customize each basket to your recipient.

First make a list of the mom's hobbies and interests. List everything you can think of that might possibly pertain.

Suggestions: sports, books, television shows, in-house hobbies, outdoor recreation, camping, workshop, tools, golf, fishing, computer-related, environment friendly, golf, tennis, relaxation, food, chocolate, wine, spa, bath and body, fruit, cookie, etc. These are just a few ideas.

You can find many inexpensive items and products for use in making your gift baskets or filling your gift baskets, at 'dollar' stores, craft stores, party stores, discount outlets, flea markets, close-out stores and even at garage sales providing the items are new, etc.

For gift containers you can use: any type of basket, wicker basket, straw basket, bucket, laundry basket, plastic container, purse, tin, seasonal container, large tea pot, large upside-down hat, red hat or plastic storage container-put lid underneath.

Other items: extra-large coffee mug, boot, potted plant holder, wire basket, large pasta bowl, large popcorn bowl, cooking pot, clay pot, colander, skillet, antique trunk, champagne bucket, hamper, Asian-style trunk or picnic basket.

For gift basket liner you can use: tissue paper, shredded paper, shredded newspaper, tea towels, dish towels, hand towels, kitchen towels, colored towels, colored napkins, placemats, or fabric pieces.

For gift basket filler you can use: shredded colored paper, straw, Easter basket grass, crumpled newspaper comics, a bed of wrapped chocolates or other wrapped candy.

For items in the container it'll depend on the specialty or theme of the gift basket - in this case a mom. Here is a small random sampling to give you a few good ideas:

Gift certificate for massage or spa visit, scented oils, scented massage oils, gift certificate to favorite store, gift certificate for restaurant, loofah, fragrant candle, matches to light candles, CD of nature sounds, favorite artist CD, DVD of newer release movie, how-to video or CD, handwritten poem, perfume, cologne, watch, framed photo, inspirational book, spa pillows, bath pillows, spa supplies, bath and body products, facial and body scrubs, handmade soaps, fragrant soaps, shampoos, hand and foot lotion or fluffy towel.

Flavored teas, green tea, specialty tea, herbal tea, biscotti, tea infuser, healthy snacks, fancy chocolates, boxed chocolates, chocolate bars, hot chocolate mix, specialty coffee mix, homemade cookies, homemade brownies, homemade jams, popcorn, caramel corn, giant-size boxed candy, candy canes, suckers, lollipops, apple, pear, orange, persimmon, mango, papaya, chips, pretzels, nuts, gourmet pasta, gourmet olive oil, pre-packaged food items, pancake mixes, brownie mixes, cookie mixes, wooden spoons, your best chocolate chip cookie recipe, Italian recipes, Mexican food recipes or other ethnic recipes, coffee mug, or potholders.

Garden trowel or other garden tools, garden gloves, work gloves, cold weather gloves, leather gloves, garden picks, seeds, hand lotion, flower pot , small tools, gadgets, playing cards, travel-size games, small puzzles, t-shirt, tickets to events,
small plant, disposable camera, a small book,

Computer-related items, mouse pad, yarn, painting or artist supplies, golf balls, golf tees, golf knick knacks, tennis balls, tennis knick knacks, key chains, small calendars or desk calendars, barometer, outdoor thermometer, science gadgets, electronic gadgets, health-related items, auto-related items or cinnamon sticks.

For gift basket wrapping you can use tulle netting or better yet, cellophane wrap. If you're going to use a lot of cellophane you can purchase it in large rolls wholesale through the packaging specialty stores throughout the U.S. but should be easily found in craft stores.

Tie off the wrapped basket with ribbon. Wired fabric ribbon is best if you have it.

For bows: You can use pre-packaged bows but making your own bow is easy and a better presentation if you can do it. Use a huge beautiful bow.

Assemble all your gift basket items, the tools you need, etc. Now line your selected gift container. Then stuff the selected filler into the gift basket to give added height to your items. Place, layer and arrange your selected items on the filler in the gift container. Put the larger items in the back, the smaller items in front.

Fill in the holes or prop up with more filler (shredded paper, Easter basket grass, wrapped chocolates, napkins or holiday napkins etc.)

Also you can use 'picks' of artificial flowers to fill in small open spots.

Place your cellophane or other wrap under the gift basket. Center the gift basket on the wrap. Bring the cellophane or other wrap over the top of the gift basket and tie it with ribbon and/or a beautiful bow! Use ribbon and bows to match your theme colors.

Tuck a personalized card in the ribbon and that's it!

General tips: You can find fabric or wired ribbon cheaply at Costco -- especially in the fall prior to Christmas or around holidays but often throughout the year in most stores. You can shred colored paper in a paper shredder.

Try to use non-perishable items except, of course, when making fruit baskets. Use freshly packaged food items; packaged crackers and cookies can go stale in a couple of months.

You can find filler flower 'picks' at garage sales cheaply. If you buy 'picks' wholesale they are usually around a dollar each.

Try not to mix chocolate or other food fragrant items with non-food fragrant items in the same basket.

Also there's nothing like learning how to make gift baskets from a video or DVD for making cheap and easy gift baskets. You can view it over and over again and share it with your children, other family members and friends. You can even charge for classes with your new-found knowledge and/or start a home based business if you so desire. In any event, making a gourmet mom gift basket can be cheap and easy.

www.squidoo.com If you grew up before the time of the Internet chances are setting up Mother's Day Flower Delivery so easily is pretty amazing. It is no wonder so many people are ready to use the many choices available. Even if you already use the Internet a lot it is still pretty incredible. That's why ordering flowers online for delivery to California or anywhere may not always ne the first option that comes to mind when it's time to send Mother's Day flowers for delivery to someone across town or on the other side of the world.

Make money from home, who wouldn't want to do that? It's an attractive idea. It's a great idea. It's the new way to earn. If the idea of wanting to make money from home has crossed your mind, you are not alone. Thousands of people around the world are sick of their jobs and looking for work at home opportunities. Stay at home Moms, such as myself, are looking for ways to make extra money from home so they can spend more time with their children and at the same time, contribute to the household finances. College students are looking for ways to create income so that they can have extra money as they go to school.

Learning how to make money from home is one of the best things you can do. There are many benefits you can enjoy by making money at home. It is a rewarding experience and one that is worth the time and effort.

The first critical step to make money from home is to start with a good idea. The best way to do this is to sit down and identify what it is you're passionate about. Do you have a special talent, such as playing a musical instrument? Are you a great cook? Do people always come to you for advice on how to fix things? What are your hobbies and interests? If you stop and think about it, any one of these can be turned into a profitable product for you to create and sell. Remember, the number one thing people use the Internet for is to look up information. So the best way to make money from home is to give the people what they want by having your own website, centered around your own products, hobby or interests.

If, after brainstorming, you still can't think of something to create and turn into a product to sell online, don't despair. There are many ways to make money online. Here are just a few:

• eBay - One of the quickest and easiest ways to make money from home is with eBay. You can sell anything you want, from stuffed toys, old clothes your family has outgrown or never worn, to computer peripherals to a recipe book written by you. Clean out your garage and closets and you're sure to find things you want to get rid of. Remember the old saying, 'one man's junk is another man's treasure.'

• Affiliate Marketing - Don't have a product of your own to sell? Then try selling someone else's. How many times have you recommended a product or service to a family member or friends and they went out and bought it? We do that all the time, right? Now imagine doing that on the Internet only this time you won't be recommending something to a few people. With the power of the Internet, you can recommend products to the entire world, if they have an Internet access that is. With Affiliate Marketing companies pay you for referrals that result in a sale or lead. Joining affiliate programs is one of the "free ways to make easy money" on the net. It's very easy to get started.

• Paid Surveys - Another easy way to make money from home is filling out Paid Surveys on your computer. I have done this myself so I know it works. The only downfall to this is that you have to have a lot of time to dedicate to this. Some surveys are 20 minutes or longer and will pay you anywhere from $2 to up to $100, although I have never been lucky enough to qualify for a $100 survey. I don't have a lot of spare time to dedicate to this so I choose to spend most of my time being an Affiliate Marketer, selling on eBay, and creating products to sell. I make more money doing that than filling out Paid Surveys. If you are still interested in making money with Paid Surveys by all means feel free to do so. Just keep in mind the time involved and the fact that you will make money, but you may not make lot of money doing it.

• Stock Photography - One easy way to make money from home is by using your photos. Stock photography is very big right now. Many companies and large corporations need pictures they can use on their website or brochures. They will pay Stock Photography Companies a lot of money for quality photos. Some corporations even create software that
have pictures in it, such as Print Artist, Print Shop, Sierra Utilities and other software programs. Stock photography companies will pay you even more when a company uses your picture in software programs because they have to purchase a special license, which means more money in your pocket. So if you have a digital camera and can take good pictures, visit these Stock Photography websites to get an idea of the kind of pictures they need. This is easy money doing something that doesn't even seem like work.

• Homemade Videos - Another great way to make money from home is to create interesting home made videos. Do you know how to play the piano? If so, create a video showing people who to play. Piano lessons can be expensive and the instructor has to leave when their time is up. With a video your customers can watch and learn any time they want. You can make Homemade Videos on so many different topics such as; recipes, how to build your own computer, how to cut hair, how to train your dog to do tricks, how to lift weights properly, how to use a certain software program and many more topics. I personally know someone who creates videos showing people how to use a certain software program and he makes a lot of money selling the video tutorials. Put your mind to work and think of something you can create.

There are actually thousands of ways to make money at home working online. I've only listed five of the ways I make money. I could have listed more but then I would have written a novel instead of an article.

There's no doubt about it, the best way to make money from home is to work for yourself using your home computer. You've spent hundreds or even thousands of dollars on a computer so let it pay for itself by putting it to work for you. Why spend your entire life working for someone else, when you could work from home and be your own boss? Making money from home is the new way to earn a living.

I love money, especially when it comes easy. Let me give you a friendly warning though. The ideas I've listed on ways to make money are easy, but they do require a little bit of work on your part. Your success is going to be determined by how much you put into each program. Remember, if you pick something you enjoy, it will not seem like work at all.

To Your Success,
Anna Allen
