What kind of interesting containers has your school used to make raffle gift baskets? I need some ideas!!? I have to come up with 13 creative themes for the Ice cream social fund raiser this year. Each Pre School class(parents) will donate to the themed basket. Baskets can be very creative containers such as a wheel barrel and a "family garden" theme. Can anyone come up wiht some other ideas that I can present to the class teachers? Thank you for your help. DeAnna P.S. sorry i could not find the appropriate category. School fundraisers would of been perfect!!! Thank you so far to 4 awesome creative gals. But, I don't have the themes yet. That is part of the question. Then a cool LARGE container to fill up with theme items. We have 13 classes and last year the baskets were worth hundreds of $$ each. The parents either donate $$ or items and the parent liason for each class (one mom) puts it together/shops for all the stuff and I just wanted to be prepared for the classes usually over 1/2 that can't come up with a theme on there own. I am loving the garbage can idea perhaps one of those that collapse to put it away. We did a wheel barrel last year so maybe gardening won't be accepted this year???? That is another concern. The board will OK all themes so to make sure the classes are all unique and no one is duplicating anything. Thank you and keep em coming.. can use the help. Large Container idea's and clever things to put inside I thought of a "automotive" pkg 4 dad and use the "creeper roll around to put everything on & Coleman Stove-campg'
