[QUOTE="klmno, post: 529127, member: 3699"] We need to raise some money to help pay for the forum E is going to this summer. They have a couple of fundraising ideas on the forum's website but I was thinking making gift baskets that E can try to sale in our townhome community might be a good idea, too. There are probably 50-60 townhomes just in our little complex and many more around so I was thinking if we shot for 15-25 baskets, we ought to be able to sell them if they have commonly desired things and the price is right. So, I was trying to think of things I could buy in bulk for a lower price then split them up for gift baskets. One thing would be movie tickets and then maybe flower bulbs. Can anyone recommend a reputable website for bulbs where I could get a rush order for- say 20- bulbs for a reduced price? What other things could I get in bulk by Fri. or Sat. that would go well in a Mother's day basket? I can get baskets at a dollar store and I have seen celephane somewhere but I don't remember where. I was also thinking about a trip to Costco to see what I might find in a larger quantity. Tea candles or aroma thingies? Packets for coffee flavors? Do they sell women's products like bath beads in bulk packaging? I can't put wine in a basket if E is the one going door to door. If anyone has other ideas for fundraising (besides car washes and lawn care which are already on our list), feel free to throw them out! [/QUOTE]
