I love this idea by the way !! I like the movie night basket for a family put popcorn and snacks a few DVDs and so on , I also like a slumber party basket for young girls i put snacks a scary movie ,nail polish ,mad libs or card games , disposable cameras different items to do facials anything girly lol

hmmm.....perhaps a book/magazine on red sox's.....a universal remote control...candles are always good....different flavors of hot tea or cocoa ....For females little things to pamper themselves with ....nail brush ...even males like to pamper themselves too ( most wont admit it lol ) Warm fuzzy socks... a DVD...a favorite snack...I don't know how much you want to invest ...but alot of little simple things that sometimes people need but don't take the time to buy is really nice to put in a basket for someone .... I hope this helps some ! Enjoy making your baskets ~ And I am jealous that you have already started on Christmas

not sure where to suggest looking for the 'nightmare' stuff wasn't that disney movie, would the disney stores have anything?? you could keep it color coordinated with the basket them and get everyday items like a coffee mug if she's a coffee drinker, candles...... notepads, pens pencils
on the sox, what about a baseball a waterbottle, a visor, maybe even peanuts and cracker jacks (you know from the song take me out to the ballgame?)
winter basket, mittens earmuffs scarf, mug and hot chocolate microwave popcorn, movie, book, snowman kit?
there's what came to mind right off......... good luck and happy shopping

i used to make a basket for my gran with one person stuff in like cuppa soups and single serving tinned pies etc plus 1 cracker
smellies baskets
undies baskets
kiddies baskets with crayons and pens
sweets baskets
single shot bottles of nice alcohol in a basket
the list could go on and on

Some thoughts would be obvious, like little stuffed characters, stickers, or other movie-related items for the Nightmare Before Christmas basket. Another thing would be to RUN to Target or other stores while they're clearing out the Halloween stuff - it's cheap right now and will be gone soon. Target has a great line of scary themed stuff under the brand name Edgar & Ellen. Black nail polish or lipstick would be pretty cool, or even some fishnet stockings! If your friend likes the Nightmare Before Christmas DVD, consider getting other DVDs by Tim Burton to put in it. He did Nightmare Before Christmas, Corpse Bride, Edward Scissorhands, Beetle Juice, and that blast from the past, Frankenweenie. He also did Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Pee Wee's Big Adventure, but those aren't quite as scary.

For the Red Sox basket, I'd just go to a sports memorabilia or sports collectible store. They have autographed baseballs and baseball cards, licensed Red Sox merchandise, and Red Sox apparel. They should soon have ads on TV for the Boston 2007 season in review, since they just won the World Series, so you may want to consider getting something like that. A Red Sox baseball cap, Red Sox baseball, and an autographed baseball card of Josh Beckett would do the trick.

A cozy winter basket could include a fleece blanket, slipper socks or other fuzzy footwear, hot cocoa, a CD like Sarah McLachlan's Wintersong, and a classic or girl-friendly DVD like Breakfast at Tiffany's, Four Weddings and a Funeral, Bridget Jones Diary, or Sense and Sensibility.

There are many basket ideas. Baskets with spa products go over well with many women. If you give a guy a basket that has something to eat, something to drink, and something to watch on TV, he'll probably like it! If you list gender and ages, as well as some interests, you'll get lots of ideas!

nightmare- see if you can find some Nightmare Before Xmas ornaments! I'm sure they have them somewhere, and maybe just make it a movie theme basket with gift cards to movie theater or rental place, some microwave popcorn, sodas and candy, and maybe some other good movie.

red sox basket? sorry I have no idea on guys, maybe a sweatshirt or tshirt, a sporting book of pictures of the red sox

cozy winter- a good best seller book, a candle, some coffee or teas, some warm slippers or slipper socks, a scarf and hat, some movies, bath stuff or perfume
