Baskets do well at the Auction. Do you have a variety of things that you can give that would be perfect in a basket? Imagine gathering items for a “Rainy Day Picnic Indoors” or even “Dinner Under the Stars” or “When the Kids and Grandkids Need Different Things to Do” or even “Basket of Chocolates” for the chocolate lover in your life.
