Home Staging Gift Basket

Next week, my city's Chamber of Commerce is having it's Annual Banquet. It will be a fun-filled evening of great entertainment, fine dining and a silent auction fund raising event. A portion of the proceeds help fund the Chamber's Scholarship Fund to assist working adults. When I heard that they were looking for donations for the silent auction I jumped at the opportunity to support a good cause.
I love putting together gift baskets so I knew it would be the perfect thing for me to donate along with a gift certificate for one of my Home Staging Services.
After looking around the store, I decided on a beautiful sea-grass blue  basket and started by putting a blue suede pillow in the basket. Next I found a super soft, luxurious throw that is a silky taupe on one side and a creamy soft shag on the other that I have cascaded over the edge of the basket to show texture and interest. I also bought 3 black soap stone candle holders of various heights, with purple cranberry fig tea lights to go inside. The candle holders were imprinted with an organic leave design on the outside and I also included an earthy wall picture in blues, greens and browns that have some cute Robin birds resting on a beautiful flowering branch. I decided not to wrap my basket in plastic wrap so that people could feel how soft the throw is. Lastly, I finished it off with 2 layers of coordinating ribbons.  

Let's hope that my basket gets many bids to benefit the Chamber's Scholarship Fund!
