woudl you like this shower gift? UPDATED with a pic

i have a shower i have to go to ( i am one of the BM's ) and i was thinking i wanted to make a basket of stuff...would you like either of these?

BBQ Basket - with things for the grill and outside stuff like BBQ set, pitcher and cups for outside, maybe marinades, utensil caddy, etc...all packed in a cooler

Honeymoon basket - things like travel stuff..lotions, aloe, sunscreen...just married flip flops...beach bag, newlywed shirts, etc

i was thinking maybe getting a custom cooler like this and filling it

Both of them sound wonderful!! I'd be careful with the honeymoon basket being that one of the BMs may be doing that. The BBQ basket is awesome though and not so common!!

I personally love baskets of gifts...it's just fun to open it and go through every little thing, like a little hunt!! Hehe

i would probably do full size since they are going to hawaii and will be gone i think for 10 days..travel size would be too small

I say BBQ Basket! It's very different, and like someone else said, one of the BP members (or the whole BP) might do a HM basket.

I saw BBQ basket- it is different and you can have a lot of fun with what you put into it.

I hope I get one when it's my turn!!!

I love the BBQ idea....the honeymoon is overdonem & you run the risk of someone else having the same gift

I like the BBQ basket. It's very unique, and at many showers I've attended the parents have done the honeymoon baket

I'd love either one! My BMs made me a baking basket (since that's what I love to do!) complete with cooling racks, utensils, potholders, apron, kitchen towels, baking mixes, cupcake papers, rolling pin, and a homemade cookbook with all the BMs and mothers' favorite recipes. It was so special!
