What should I give a sahm to help whose 5 kids are heading back to school - aka a "back2school" basket?
Q. I don't want this to get expensive. Just a basket full of little items to help her survive this "I live in a minivan stage." Stuff to help with a very busy life and encourage her is what I have in mind. Thanks for the great advice! **NOTE : This basket is NOT for the kids, but for the mom. I would like to give her personal items that will help her survive a busy school schedule and the "I live in my minivan" craziness. Thanks!

A. Make sure I understand this correctly...do you want the basket to be for in the car? Or just basket of little items? If it is to be kept in the car I would suggest filling it with, a word search book (to fill while she is waiting in the car for her kids) coffee gift card (for that boost of energy while she is out & about) you could burn a music onto a CD for her to listen to while she drives around. A book on tape (or CD) would be nice. A snack mix , some nice hand lotion, anti bacteria gel, gum or tic tacs, sunglasses, pretty packet of travel Kleenex, pretty pen and note cards (again she could write thank you notes while she is waiting). What a nice thing to do, I hope you get lots of good ideas! Best of luck!
