The LeftCoast shopping challenge

Help! I am TERRIBLE about picking out gifts. I need to buy my Aunt and her daughter a nice present and ship it out to them - ASAP! I was thinking of a nice gift basket of some sort, but I just don't have a clue. I'm hoping one of the fine minds at DU will have the answer. Looking for links and suggestions. Your help is most appreciated!

:hi:

1. Go to popcornfactory.com

and send them some popcorn - for my money, these guys have the absolute best popcorn I have ever had, hands down.

And they have all sorts, and many gift tins, and also cookies and nuts and stuff.

Or try harryanddavid.com, also a good place.

And the nice thing is, they will ship it to the recipients with a gift card from you, so you don't have to bother at all.

2. Oh! Good suggestions! I'll check those out!

Might have to skip Harry and David in the end though- I suspect my Mom may have already sent them something from them. Drat! :)

9. Harry and David?

My parents SWEAR by that place. It only took one click this year to order gifts for all our relatives.
