Extreme couponing gift baskets from the stockpile!

[beautystar49]

Could you make a teacher one that was what I was looking for and I can't seem to fin one.

[HeatherLakin]

These are such great Ideas! I love the hand care box, I too have no family close so I have to ship everything , will def. be using these ideas this Christmas :)

[extremecouponexposed]

@HeatherLakin Thanks for the kind words! Yeah, when you have to ship the gift, it takes on an entirely different tone, doesn't it? I think I'll be shipping a few of the pillow/throw sets; they, too, are VERY lightweight. Thanks for stopping by!

Nice job ya thats wht I'm doing for my daughters teacher and all the Wonka candy I got last week I'm doing gift bags for the class spread the love around happy holidays/couponing

[nikkibolt1177]

[extremecouponexposed]

[RecessionistasRule]

[extremecouponexposed]

@RecessionistasRule Ooo did you do a video of the boxes and gift bags? I'd LOVE to see how you did yours!

[Ladysmash711]

Really great ideas I'm still relatively new to couponing but gonna keep these ideas in mind! Thanks

[extremecouponexposed]

@Ladysmash711 You're welcome. :)

[Ejahi]

thanks for this. i am suppose to be making me a basket for my mom. the only thing is i have to ship it so i hope it looks good when they get it on the other end.

[extremecouponexposed]

@Ejahi Hey there! Yeah, we have about ten family gifts to ship; I am also wondering how intact they are going to be. Use a dab of hot glue to secure items to each other; it should remain relatively secure. When you get it done, let me know; you can even post a video response. Good to hear from you!

[lqqkn4qs]

I was thinking about doing gift baskets for xmas. Thanks for the ideas

[extremecouponexposed]

@lqqkn4qs You're welcome; good to see you!

[MIDNIGHTHR]

[extremecouponexposed]

@MIDNIGHTHR You are welcome. :)

[couponville1]

[extremecouponexposed]

@couponville1 Thanks!

[TheCoffeeNook]

Great video! I love these ideas and I really liked how you put ideas together for when we have to mail gifts. I have been couponing for about six months and I am so excited this year to be able to actually give a gift that looks like such a expensive gift but yet I got so cheap! This is great! :)

[extremecouponexposed]

@TheCoffeeNook Thanks! Does your name, TheCoffeeNook, indicate a love for coffee? :) You might like that food basket idea, then. It's got some coffee, and you could always add more coffee and coffee related items. Thanks for stopping by!

[TheCoffeeNook]

@extremecouponexposed ~~Oh yes I definitely LOVE coffee LOL :) Coffee is the gateway to open up communications! I put together a gift basket for my dad. I did spend a little bit on what I used for a gift basket, a tool carrier from home depot for 9.99. I filled the open inside area with goodies like razors, candy, lotion ect and the pockets I filled with things like deodorant, chapstick, flashlight ect. continued below

[TheCoffeeNook]

@TheCoffeeNook ~~I figured since it was for dad it was okay to spend a little more! Once it was filled up it looks like such a expensive gift. Also a tip that someone might like is I found a wire waste basket at a thrift store for 1.00 and I filled it with cleaning supplies. :) Thanks for the wonderful ideas that helped me get started on my baskets :)

[extremecouponexposed]

@TheCoffeeNook You're welcome! And YOUR gift basket sounds like it is fantastic. Yes, of course you are justified in spending a little more. :)

[Brena1971]

[extremecouponexposed]

@Mrstreasuretroll Your gift baskets sound like they'll be really cute; make sure you post a video, and you can even put it here as a response. AND congrats on teaching a couponing class!! Woot woot!!

[Mrstreasuretroll]

Thanks. I will try to upload a video response today! :0)

[ShandtinaSays]

Very cute idea!!!!

[extremecouponexposed]

@ShandtinaSays Thanks, Shay! Are you doing baskets?

[ShandtinaSays]

@extremecouponexposed Not yet my stockpile is too small but I do plan on doing a gift bag for the white elephant exchange we are doing on Monday.

[dlw5k]

WalMart and Target have those wicker baskets, or at least that's where I bought mine a few years ago. Great idea.

[extremecouponexposed]

@dlw5k OH gotta go check out Walmart and Target; thanks for the heads up!

[LADYYATE]

I LOVE THIS IDEA! I HAVE OTHER OCCASIONS LIKE BRIDAL SHOWERS, BABY SHOWERS AND GRADUATIONS SO THIS WILL BE GREAT. 

[extremecouponexposed]

@LADYYATE Glad you like them. :)

[homespuntreasures1]

Very creative ideas thank you so much for sharing!! :)

[extremecouponexposed]

@homespuntreasures1 You're welcome! Are you doing any gift baskets?

[Jlsc477]

I needed ideas for gift baskets, so thank you for this!

[extremecouponexposed]

@Jlsc477 You are welcome!

[MsBigjames]

sorry about the multiply post i guess i got finger happy lol lol

[extremecouponexposed]

@MsBigjames HA! No worries. :)

[minniepoo12]

Do you know where a good place to get like the wicker basket you have for cheap?

[extremecouponexposed]

@minniepoo12 Girl, I looked high and low for wicker baskets of this size. The one I show in the video was something on my shelf; I temporarily emptied it of its contents to do this video. Check dollar stores, Dollar General or Family Dollar, even craft stores like Michael's or Joann's or AC Moore (with coupons, of course!). I even started my search at the thrift stores; simply spray them with Lysol to sanitize them, and if necessary spray paint them (I've done that). Thanks for stopping by!

[MsBigjames]

HI LAUREL THESE ARE WONDERFUL GIFT IDEAS I LOVE IT TKS FOR SHARING IAM GOING TO DO A BATHROOM THEME WITH THOSE SCRUBBING BUBBLES KITS THAT WERE FREE FROM WALMART AND AIRWICKS AND SOME CLEANING SUPPLIES TKS AGAIN MS BIGJAMES  NJ
