Specific Items Requested for Baskets

Friends have been asking me what they can do to help with the fundraiser for Nick Jardine (see next post if you don't know what I am talking about). Here is the list of items that I have come up with to put in our theme baskets. If you would like to help, just pick from the list below. You can drop off your new items to my house, or give me a call and I will gladly pick them up! And if you have other fun ideas - go with it, these are not set in stone - just ideas!
If the item is red that means we have already received the donation.
THANK YOU!!!!

A Special Request for Help

We have some good friends that live in Shelley that we have known for 10+ years. Mike and I met Josh and DJ (before they were married) while we all worked together at Walmart. Anyways...long story short, Josh and DJ Jardine have 3 adorable little boys. Their middle child - Nick (who just turned 6) - was born with serious heart problems. His doctors at Primary Children's in Salt Lake have determined it is time for a substantial open-heart surgery. They have to travel to the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota for this surgery on June 15th. If you would like to read more about his story go here: http://nicksheartstory.blogspot.com/
Family and friends decided to host a fundraiser for this extremely expensive surgery.
We are assembling theme gift baskets for the silent auction to be held on June 10th. If you are able, please join us in supporting this wonderful family!
Currently, we are working on the following theme baskets:
Baking
Baby
Family Movie Night
Family Fun Night
Car Wash Bucket
Gardening
and Spa
If you would like to help contribute to any of the baskets, just let me know.
THANKS!
