What I love about summer is that a beautiful day can lead to an impromptu party or get-together! It’s alway great when someone says “stop on over, we’ll be in the backyard!” I created this easy Summer Party Gift Basket for just that occasion. The best part of it is I bought most of these items at a dollar store! So, it’s super cute and cheap too!
The one thing that is necessary for all summer activities is some sort of outdoor spray. I’m not really crazy about spraying myself or my family from head to toe with some of the heavy chemical sprays. Doesn’t the word “deet” freak you out?! So, I made my own All Natural Outdoor Spray and this cute Free Printable Bottle Label. Find out how to make your own chemical-free outdoor spray – a must for the basket!
Here are basket suggestions for filling the basket…
First start with a drink container to hold all the goodies.
Include things like a fun serving tray {mine looks like a surfboard}, bubbles, toy flamingo lanterns {my favorite} don’t for the batteries, bug catchers, chalk, drink cozies with drinks, extra sunglasses, glow sticks, citronella candles, plastic drinking cups and maybe a bottle of wine. Last but not least…don’t forget the Outdoor Spray!
All my items except the small bottles came from Dollar Tree. The small outdoor spray bottles came from Walmart.
Hmmm…now I need a party to go to, so I can give away my summer party gift basket to the hostess!
