Can someone post a list of themed baskets that you have used to assign to each classroom? I need to get my flyer to the school ASAP to be sent home with the children. I have some great ideas, but need several more. In a crunch and need some help!! This is my first yr doing Auction Baskets. The list from last year has several themes that are sort of redundant...I want something creative but easy for the parents!
This forum has been so helpful and I have recieved more donations than I imagined I would. Our event is this Friday and I just thought to start requesting donations online two weeks ago.
So far we have recieved donations from:
Storyland in NH (Two Tickets)
Signed Baseball (Boston Red Sox)
Signed Lithograph (NY Jets)
$100 Gift Certificate (Canvasondemand)
15 Piece Blending System - Cuisanart
4 Train & Boat Passes - Essex Steam Train in CT
NY Sky Ride - 2 Passes
4 Tickets to a CT Whale Game - CT Whale
Coffee Basket - Green Mountain Coffee
Ski Passes - Stratton (VT), Mohawk Mountain (CT), Wachussett (MA)
$100 Gift Certificate (x2) - Ticket Liquidators
Other than that we have recieved A LOT of donations from local businesses and our families have put together fantastic theme baskets. We have over 100 items for bidding which is already 30 more than last year.
Many of the donations I requested came in without an e-mail response, the donation just showed up in the mail.
I'm in Pittsburgh also (Not a PTO but a children's non-profit) email me bvankirk at specialspacespgh dot org, I will share what I have gotten so far. I will post everything eventually when i get organized for everyone else.
