Here’s your chance to get creative, have fun, and support families in need. The Contest invites you to design, decorate, and fill a gift basket that could win the contest and bring joy to someone’s life. Don’t miss out on this exciting opportunity to showcase your creativity and generosity! ALL PROCEEDS AND BASKETS GO DIRECTLY TO SALINE AREA SOCIAL SERVICE.
Design Tips for Success:
Theme it up! A unique and eye-catching theme can make your basket stand out.
Think outside the basket! Use creative containers like coolers, wagons, boxes, or anything that can be donated.
Keep it secure. Use cellophane to wrap valuable items for a polished look.
Inspire generosity. Include non-perishable foods, gift cards, books, toiletries, toys, board games, or clothing. (Please avoid perishable food, alcohol, or tobacco items.)
Add a personal touch. Label your basket with the creators’ names—people love to vote for entries made by someone they know!
