Creative Grils - Need Help

I am in charge of a dining out basket for my son's school auction. How can I make this look nice and big?

We will probably be able to get 4 gc to different restaurants. I plan on putting the gift card in the basket, along with a menu if they have one to give me. What else can I add to spruce it up?

Maybe some inexpensive cloth napkins and napkin rings?
If any of the GC are for asian, some chopsticks ...
Some after dinner mints ...

Maybe a "babysitter's checklist" assuming they'll need a sitter for the night out.

Or a bottle of wine or dessert things (a fondue kit or something) for dessert at home after dinner.

I would just get a big old basket and some of that curly frilled paper filler.

I would then print out in color, a picture of the slogan for the restaurant (If the envelope it comes in is plain (or you can just tape a business card to the front of the envelope)I would then take sticks and tape/glue the gift certificates so that they stand up and then I'd add some bows and wrap the basket in cellophane with top it off with a big bow and put a big old tag on it.Chat Icon

I was thinking this too. For dinner and a movie. Maybe 2-4 movie passes, and 2 GC to restaurants. Then also candy, popcorn, etc.
