Make Movie Gift Baskets for $8

A lot of us have the same problem come the holidays. Too many friends, not enough money. That's where these little beauties come in. They're fun, cheap, and make great gifts!

Step 1: Get Some Stuff.

Fist, grab the things you'll need for your basket.

Container: I used plastic popcorn containers I found at Target for $1 apiece. You can also get cardboard ones in packs for much cheaper.
Popcorn: Chips/peanuts work if your friends don't like popcorn.
Soda: If you have Mormon or health-nut friends, try bottles of juice or something.
Candy: Health-nuts can have toasted almonds, sunflower seeds, etc. It's recommended that they fit in the container.
Movie rental pass: I got mine at Blockbuster for about $5.

Step 2: Stuff the Stuff.

Cram all of your stuff in there. I like to start with the popcorn, because it needs to be bent a little in order to fit with the other things.

Step 3: Become Santa Clause.

Give away your movie baskets. It helps to wear a funny hat.

THANK YOU! I have been trying to figure out a way not to spend crap load on my co-works. This is prefect, everybody loves a movie and snacks and this is very cheap compared to what I'd be spending otherwise. Once again. Thank you!

I like this idea. I probably would buy a movie instead of a movie rental thingy. Gotta love Wal-Marts cheap movies. :P Oh and I am Mormon. We drink sodas too. Just not caffeinated.
