When my brother, sister, and I were very young, we lived in a small neighborhood in Louisiana . My dad was working nights and my mom was working days. She would be so tired when she got home from work, but she always tried to make Halloween special for us.

I remember one year, my brother was maybe three years old, we wanted to go trick-or-treating. My sister wasn’t old enough to take us by herself, so good old mom decided to do something a little different. We got all dressed up in our costumes and went walking around our house then went to the front door and mom would be there all dressed up as a witch and then we would walk around the house again, go back to the front door and there she was as a mummy( wrapped up in toilet paper). We kept doing this until all the candy ran out. That was a very unique Halloween for us.

If you are looking for something to make Halloween unique for someone in your life have a look at our Halloween Fortune Cookie Baskets. The best part about this particular item is that you can use the plush Halloween themed basket year after year as a decoration around the house

At my last job, I made a lot of good friends, some of them I miss dearly. We had a good time together and it was almost like they were family to me. I was only there a year when my husband and I decided to move and I’ve been thinking of what to send these great people.
So I went looking around. I finally found something which caught my interest, the Mrs. Fields Fall Harvest Gift Basket. It had everything I was looking for, cookies, brownies, mini chocolate cakes, and it was package so attractively. With this upcoming holiday it was the perfect gift, and the best advantage to getting this gift is that it gives everyone that I miss the chance to have a little taste.

My children love it when we go and pick out the biggest pumpkin. We also get four smaller ones so that the children can each have their own. Then we go home, I spread newspaper on the floor in the kitchen and let the kids draw faces on their individual pumpkins.
My husband carves out the tops of the pumpkins and tells the children to dig out the “brains”. Our children love this part because they are able to get all slimy and gooey. After that, when the pumpkins are all empty, the faces get to be carved. Finally, we are able to put candles in the pumpkins and set them out on the porch to let all the neighbors see how creative our children are.
So, if you are feeling imaginative or if you know someone who is artistic we have a Halloween Gift Basket filled with all sorts of items. Like a pumpkin carving set, a flashlight, and besides if they get hungry the basket is also filled with yummy treats that they can nibble on

During Halloween, my family likes to get together and put on a haunted house for the neighborhood children. There would be a fog machine and a spooky music recording. One year we dressed up as the Addams Family, my sister was Cousin It, brother was Pugsley, mom was Morticia, and dad was Gomez, and I was Wednesday. One of my dad’s buddies from work came over dressed as Uncle Fester.

After we were done terrorizing the kids, we always had a little party in the backyard (transformed into a haunted graveyard). We would have cookies, cakes, candy, popcorn balls all laid out on the tables, and ghost and spiders hanging from the trees. The games were great. Bobbing for Jack-O-Lanterns, musical chairs (had to have the monster mash), and pin the wart on the witch. Those were so much fun, and the children couldn’t wait until next year’s.

If you are having a lot of company this year, or if you have something planned somewhere else we have so many choices to choose from at Pro-gift-baskets.com. Here are just a few to take a look at, the Halloween Pumpkin Gift Tower, Mrs. Fields® Halloween Scarecrow, and Haunting Halloween Gift Box. These are sure to make somebody's Halloween extraordinary.

Growing up in a little town was great. My siblings and I would dress up in our costumes and go house to house and collect all the candy that we could get our hands on. Then, we would go home and count them all out to see who had the most. I remember we use to trade and make deals with the candy. Sometimes we would even play games and the winner would take all the candy, but in the end share with each other.

Now, of course, we are grown up and don’t see each other as often. I always try and send them a little something in the mail. Just to let them know that I am thinking of them at this time of year.

At Pro-gift-baskets.com we have a wide selection of Halloween gifts, like the Halloween Candy Boo Bag, or the Mrs. Fields® Halloween Bear Basket. The stuffed animals that come with these gifts are so adorable. They will also make sure that the recipient, be it a child, grandchild, friend, or co-worker, will remember you and all the times that you have shared. The yummy treats inside won’t hurt either.

I still remember the first time I ever went fishing with my own fishing pole. It was one of those Snoopy rod and reels; I received it on my sixth birthday. We went to a little fishing hole in California, on the Air Force base we lived on. My dad, brother, and I set up on the bank.I was the first person to catch a fish, out of all the fishing trips that I have had since then this was the best.

It has been 24 years since that trip now I have kids of my own. Most of them enjoy fishing with me and hearing the stories of fishing trips of the past. I know that I enjoy it when I receive gifts of the fishing nature, especially when they are funny. We have a great one for you the Fisherman's Gift Basket.
