Gift basket website

Does anyone know of a good website for ordering themed gift baskets? I want to order one for one of my neighbors who is like a grandma to my girls. She did something incredibly nice last week for them and I wanted to send her something. I thought a movie themed gift basket would be great since she loves the movies. I also considered Harry and David but I would choose the movie theme over that. I found a few sites but not sure if they are a scam and also the quality of what they have.

Any suggestions?

    My best suggestion- make your own. It will DEFINITELY be  a lot cheaper.

    there are soooooo many easy ideas you can do for a nice gift basket. Especially with a movie theme.

    Go get a nice basket, grab a DVD or two, maybe tix to a local movie theater, microwave popcorn, movie candy, maybe some soda- wrap it all up and be done with it.

    Also a nice idea- is a 'Italian date night in (and out)' I always fall back on this gift basket.

    find a red & white checkered tablecloth, a nice box of pasta, jar of sauce (i make and can my own to add to baskets), a nice loaf of bread, olive oil, an Italian music CD, a thing of tapered candles- throw it in the basket. Depending on the situation- i will also add a gift certificate to a nice Italian restaurant and make it a basket for a dinner in and a dinner out.

    My mom and I use to do these!! We were never really able to get the ball going on this business though. Would you say that these gift basket ideas are in high demand? Good Luck with your search. :)

    I agree with Stacey.  Make your own basket.  You could get some DVDs of some movies in her favorite genre, some gourmet popcorn, spiced nuts, and her favorite beverage.  You could have the girls help you make carmel popcorn or seasoned nuts (both are easy to do.)

    I agree. Making your own is not only cheaper but a lot more personal than getting a standard one in the mail.
