This one works great for $10 and people really like it.
Movie night at home. I get a blockbuster card for one movie rental ($5 card). Don't spend money on a basket, just arrange, stack n wrap with pretty cellophane or colored saranwrap and ribbons. Use cardboard as a base if you have to...just don't buy a basket that nobody ever uses again (lol)!
Cool thing is you can buy all different things for this one in bulk and then spread them out to the individual gifts. So keeping to the $10 is really easy! Bulk items...boxes of microwave popcorn (Redenbacher comes in clear individual packs so I know they work for this gift)....candy bars, raisinetts, goobers, twizzlers, pretty much anything you would get at the movie theater. You can even add 2 bottles of soda to the gift depending on where buy and sales. While you're buying keep to the $10 and you should have in each gift 2 sodas, a $5 card, 1- 2 candies per person and a popcorn pack ...if they're close by you can add a coupon to babysit while they have their movie night at home. I've used this one for party games, like white elephant...people LOVE this gift idea
