Extreme couponing gift baskets from the stockpile!
harperacademy.com Some Christmas gift basket ideas! Shout outs – youngextremecouponer, savingwithvetta, pinchingpennies2011! These are themed baskets: A gift basket for her, a food gift basket, and a gift basket of household items. Also, for gifts that will get mailed, there is a US Priority Flat Rate Small box that has been filled with hand/nail items; there is also an envelope of razors with an iTunes gift card. Essentially, this was all free; what I paid for the food gift basket, I made up for with overage from the other gift baskets. Sweet!

Comments on Extreme couponing gift baskets from the stockpile!
@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.
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!
very nice
?
Great idea love how you had an overall theme with each gift basket. Very nice thank you? for sharing
I was thinking about doing gift baskets for xmas. Thanks? for the ideas
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.
Really great ideas I’m? still relatively new to couponing but gonna keep these ideas in mind! Thanks
love the different ideas and suggestions!!!!..i sent big? flat rate priority mail boxes..and .im putting together gift bags this season for co-workers….
Great gift ideas. I? love the idea of the themes.

@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!
@couponville1? Thanks!
@MIDNIGHTHR You are welcome.

@lqqkn4qs You’re welcome; good to see? you!
@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!
@Ladysmash711 You’re welcome.

@RecessionistasRule? Ooo did you do a video of the boxes and gift bags? I’d LOVE to see how you did yours!
@nikkibolt1177? Thanks!
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
@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 ~~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
@TheCoffeeNook You’re welcome! And YOUR gift basket sounds like it is fantastic. Yes, of course you are justified in spending a little more.?
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
@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!
Could you make a teacher one that was what I was looking for? and I can’t seem to fin one.
