Prepare some adult gift basket ideas that are perfect to enjoy when the kids happen to be away and the two of you want to enjoy some time together.
The basket ideas show that staying in can be even more fun than going out, and these baskets are designed for Monday through Friday. For these gift baskets, it doesn't matter which of you is the giver or the receiver. Both of you are sure to enjoy the evening together.
No matter what, before you make or enjoy one of these gift baskets, keep the following tips in mind:
Monday Night Gift Baskets: Movies All Night Long
Container: a special popcorn bowl made from an old album
Dump unshelled peanuts into the bowl, and nestle items inside the peanuts. Then cover in shrink-wrap or plastic wrap so the peanuts don't spill out. And don't forget to add a huge bow to the mix that matches something else inside the bowl.
Tuesday Night Gift Baskets: Tuesdays for Two
Container: one of your leftover Christmas gift baskets or any kind of unique gift basket
A heart-shaped basket would be romantic, but don't knock yourself out. trying to find one--any basket will do. When romance is in the air, adults really don't care about the shape of the basket; it's the thought that counts. Tie a simple ribbon around the basket handle for decoration.
Wednesday Night Gift Baskets: Runaway Wednesday
Container: cardboard suitcase
A wine gift basket is especially romantic, but obviously this gift would work best if you have a pool or hot tub. However, there's something to be said about using your own bathtub for special evenings. Just make sure you've got lots of towels to catch the overflow.
Thursday Night Gift Basket: Retro Thursday
Container: Use a "character" lunch pail
Be kids again, if only for one evening. Roll each comic up, and tie with a ribbon. If the comics don't fit into the lunch pail, roll them up anyway, and shove them through the handle. You can spend the night sharing comics and candy, and then see who can make the biggest bubble. Make the evening truly retro with a 45-record player and a handful of your favorite oldies.
Friday Night Gift Basket: Romantic Dinner for Two
Container: Large kettle
Plan this in advance because rushing around never helps romance. As soon as you get home from work, take the phone off the hook, shower and put something comfortable on. While cooking the chili, just for fun, don a sombrero. Once you have the chili n the pot, sit on the back porch, relax with a cold margarita and watch the sun set.
Later, light the candle and enjoy the chili. After dinner, as the fireflies flit to and fro, enjoy dessert together. Treat this evening as a time to rejuvenate your relationship. Enjoy a little small talk. Chitchat about nothing and everything. Enjoy each other's company with no interruptions.
