Any UNIQUE/NEW/DIFFERENT ideas for a theme for a silent auction basket?

I’m so tured of the gardening, wine, margarita, date night typical silent auction baskets. I need to assemble one for a fundraiser but I want to do a show stopper! Any suggestions? Thanks!!

You have already been given some great ideas. Last year I had to put together 35 baskets for an auction and for each I wrote a little story that pulled the items together. Most of the items were donated and I had to create baskets from whatever was donated.

Example, I put a gift certificate for dry cleaning, tire rotation, and ice cream sundaes for 4, movie rentals and pizza together. The story spoke about dropping off your dry-cleaning, leaving the car to have the tires rotated and having a friend, pick you up to take you home. On the way, stopping to pick up a movie and pizza. On the way back to pick up the car, treating said friend to ice cream as a way to say thanks!

Another basket had champagne, glasses, candle lanterns and scented candles, romantic Cd’s, chocolates, expensive perfume and an expensive gold bracelet. I called it the seduction basket and suggested how to use it to seduce your favorite lady.

Another included art supplies, a certificate for framing, a gift certificate for art classes,a gift certificate for a bookstore, and a framed print. I called it our culture basket and wove a story around it’s contents addressing it to budding artists.

Get creative. People loved reading the little stories included with the basket. Each was written like a folded card with an appropriate picture on the front with basket title, and short story description inside.

Great way to put together things that might not otherwise create too exciting of a basket and make people think it more exciting to purchase.
