Happy Birthday! Tanner!

on this day February 21, 1995 we had spent 21 hours in labor waiting for your arrival.  You graced us with your presence eyes wide open and with a loud scream.  You were taking it all in the second you could hear and see.  Here is to an incredible journey with you over the last 15 years.  You are an amazing kid! Full of determination and perserverance.

We are continuing our fundraising drive until March 30th.  If you would like to make a cash donation, we would be happy to accept those through your pay pal account.  You can open them up for free.  Just use the option to “SEND” money to orders@faobaskets.com We would be happy to send you a receipt for your donation. 

We have reached the 1/2 way mark on our goal of $1400.  We are currently at $700.  Thank you to all the businesses and friends who have donated to help us on our journey.  Tanner has been working hard selling our slider candy bars at school also.   He is really looking forward to making a difference in this cause.

Valentines Day Gifts “Old Guys Rule”

There are only a few more days to make your choices for gifts for your Valentine.  If you need to ship the gift,  the last day to ship to get it there on time would be Thursday.  We ship 2-3 day priority mail, and the average shipping cost is $15 per package, depending on the size.

Old Guys Rule Can

I thought it would be fun to come up with some Guy Valentine gift ideas.  It is fitting since I do have 4 sons, out of my brood of 5 kids.   I think it is just as important to show the men in your life how much you love them instead of expecting that Valentines Day is the day for them to express to you their love.  I actually like to think of Valentines day as the Day that my husband will Profess his undying love for me.  LOL.  After   17 years of marriage,  I do appreciate ANY attention he may give me.  We laugh that you know it is true love that he still loves me when I am fat, and I still love to rub his bald head.  There’s nothing better! 

Old Guys Rule Can Top

So when I found this paper this year,  I had to make something fun out of it and profess my love for my man that is turning 40 this year.  Here is an example of a Paint Can gift, made out of Old Guys Rule” paper.  Done in classic cars, and with fun classic comments about how “Old Guys rule”  Old School, and Being a classic.  What a great Compliment I think!  (We seem to be okay getting old, and growing old together.)  The empty paint can, ready for you to fill is $25.  If you would like to have gourmet cookies added to fill it, $35.    This theme can also be used in a Candy bouquets, Small $30, Medium $35, Large $40.  It will be embellished with the classic car brads, of a odometer, stick shift and other classic guy stuff.

If the cans are a bit out of your price range,  you take a look at our Gourmet Cookie Take out Boxes for $15.00-  they are filled with 6 gourmet chocolate chip cookies.    Pictured is a brocade design, however, remember we can customize to be any style you like, fancy or simple.

Still looking for something more budget conscience,  we have our Individually wrapped slider Candy bars, for $4.00 each.  Pictured is a sports theme for Milford High School,  however, we have made these individually for every holiday so far this year.  We will stick a secret message

inside the slider, for you,  they slide the bar open and Voila’ ~ “Happy Valentines Day!

I think we have covered all of our bases in budget limits.  There is something for everyone.  Don’t forget we Deliver also.  If you place your order now, we will offer you free delivery for Valentines, up until Saturday, February 13.  We will not be making deliveries on Sunday.

 

Don’t forget that all of the profits, from your Valentine orders will go directly to Tanner’s TSA Youth Ambassador fund.  We are 1/2 way to our goal.  We need to raise about $700 more.

And just for Posterity’s sake,  here is my Valentine, then and now!

Baby Lovin’s

Baby Lovin’s- This basket was created as a gift from an office to an employee who was expecting her first baby. They hadn’t found out what they were having so the basket was created in generic colors to accomodate a boy or a girl.
Many unique, and special items were placed in here:
For Baby-Receiving blanket, socks, onesies, and outfit were all from Children’s Place. The ever famous Butt Paste, was also included, with wipes to accomodate all those diaper changes. In addition, you don’t want to forget all the fresh baby smells by Johnson and Johnson’s bath lotion, shampoo and powder.
For Mom- Hot cold pack gel breast pads, Lansinoh lanolin ointment, to aid the first time Mom in Breast Feeding, and a pack of handmade cards for all the thank you’s she will be writing.
Baby Lovin’s- $140.00

Western Theme- For a little Cowgirl or Cowboy

This basket could be for a darling little boy or girl.
On a smaller scale this basket is filled with all the amenities for the nursing mom, and a darling little outfit from Gymboree for baby, with 3 long sleeves onesies, overalls, socks, and cap.
