Probably cheaper that way. Although it is nice to have those type of things done for you.

Originally Posted By Jenn31 Well I'm doin it!!! I'm making my own gift basket!!

Then I went over to candycrate.com and selected a bunch of retro candy. (2lbs) All for under $23.00!! I'm keeping a lookout for other items as they come up for auction, like more plus sized tees, ect. I'm so excited!! I'll put it all together here and stash it away in my suitcase until we get to the Hojo's. Now a question: Do you think I could get someone from the Hojo's to deliver it to our room for a decent tip? Otherwise I don't know how to get it in without being seen.

We will be having the tuxedo strawberries one night, milk and cookies another, and chocolate covered mickey rice crispies another, which is great, and he's surprising me with the order. All three desserts, including 5 strawberries and probably 2 or 3 crispies (they're big, right?) and hopefully lots of cookies is costing me about $30, which might seem high but I am happy with it! Robert is also going to book the F! for me, and he is going to have the tickets and itinerary put in an envelope for me so that my boyfriend doesn't see them (surprise!). I mentioned autographed pictures to him, and he said that since it is Tim's birthday, he already has something planned. I can't wait!

I said that one can read, Happy Birthday, one can read, Happy Anniversary, and I had no idea what the 3rd should read. Since he said he'd be doing something already for Tim's birthday, maybe he'll do something for our anniversary as well, as unoffcial as it is! Lol, 2 years 10 months

I still have the basket which is a wire wicker type, in the shape of the Mickey ears and head. Both DH and I loved the basket, the chocolate was good and it really looked nice. We are probably going to do that one again this year. I am also interested in the Family Welcome basket, as one of my 'specialty' collections of Disney Items is Banks and this one has a Castle Bank. I make a habit out of contacting VP no earlier than 60 days before we go, so will be calling them in about 2 weeks. I can't wait! Thanks again for all the stuff in the email, it was great of you to do that for all of us. Leanne
