Gift Baskets Under $20
I thought I would lay each gift out for you so you can see exactly what went into each basket and how much it was. There is a small amount of craftiness to some of my gifts, but you can do it!
NOTE: A few of the items that I used for these gift baskets are no longer available. However, I did link to similar items, but the prices might be lower or higher than the original ones I have listed.
Gift Idea #1: Candle, Picture Frame & Storage Bin

To make the frame a bit more special, I added in some scrapbook papers that were just too cute. You can find some free printable art online or a picture you love.
