rabx5 Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 Can you get her a Paula Deen cookbook? Or some cookware? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
becca0884 Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 I like the cookbook idea that rabx5 gave you....maybe like a Paula Deen package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christib327 Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 I like the cookbook idea too. Maybe you could just get a small basket and put the cookbook in it with a few kitchen utensils or kitchen towels or something. They make tins in all sizes. You could stick the tickets in one of those and stick that in the basket too. I'm sure no matter what you do she will love it!! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pastasalad Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 Paula Rocks! How bout buying a 2007 calendar and taping the tickets to the day of the show? or write in on the day of the show and have the tickets taped somewhere in the calendar... If you can find the Paula Dean mixes you could do a gift basket with the tickets in there. You could do a paula Dean recipe book and attach the tickets like a bookmark in the book.... I bet your mom LOVES this GIFT... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kandy Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 Why not do one of the books , a calender with the date marked on it and the tickets inside one of the balloon wraps (do they still do that?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rockfordmom Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 You could do some kind of thing where she has to go searching in her kitchen with hints of where to look next & have them hiding in the kitchen somewhere. You could buy her a inexpensive wallet or purse & put them in it. Or put them in some kind of tupperware container or make a basket with kitchen items.
