Gift Baskets?

[NewmanFamily6]

Other than the Disney Florist does anyone know a good place to order gift baskets from? I would like to surprise the children with some Disney themed baskets from "Mickey" when we go in January. The WDW Florist had limited ideas so any help is appreciated!

I've always had a good experience with Disney Florist. But, your right it is kind of limited. Google Disney World Gift Baskets and you'll come up with a few. One is memories by betsy (takeout the spaces and add .com to go directly to her site) I've heard good things about her, I haven't used her myself. She can't put food items in the basket. Something about Florida Health Regulations, you probably have to be a certified food service worker for that. So if you wants snacks in it definitely go with Disney Florist.

Good luck!! Have a magical vacation!!!!!

I looked at the disney florist and memories by betsy and I figured out that I had to find a cheaper way to do my DS's gift baskets. So I called disney merchandising and I was able to get gifts for two different baskets for the same price as one basket from the florist and betsy. And the "baskets" themselves that I got only cost $11. Now we will just take the baskets with us (hidden from DS) and have the resort "deliver" one at check in and the other to our room.
Here is a link to pictures of what I did. It was really quick and easy.
Sorry I don't have a suggestion besides doing it yourself, but money is somewhat of a issue for us, so I wanted to save as much as possible while giving DS some great gifts.

Those are sooooo cute!!!! I really like the chest you used! Disney florist would get $$$$$$$ for that I'm sure! Thanks for sharing!

1 question, when you called disney merchandising did you ask for specific things or tell them round about what you where looking for?

I used memoriesbybetsy for my husband's surprises 25th anniversary basket and was very pleased with her work and working with her. She gave me her ideas, I gave her mine, and we emailed back and forth. I'm going to try to post a picture here:

I had seen some stuff online and had heard about other things, so I asked for the majority of the stuff I was looking for. A few things they no longer had, so they recomended things to me based on what I told them I was looking for.

Glad you liked the chest; It was on clearance at Michael's, all I had to do was stain it! And it was absolutely perfect for the theme we are going with (staying in a pirate room @ CBR!).

I told my DH, just wait to see what I'll do for DD when we take her in 2011!!
