Silent Auction Basket ~ What Would You Put in It?

[thehaleykitchen]

I have offered up to do a silent auction basket for a family member who's little boy will be having surgery on a brain tumor this Spring yet. My question is, what is some of the best things that I can put in it? Should I go with a theme or just put together some of our best products?

Thoughts? Suggestions?

Thanks!
Karen

I just helped with 2 baskets last week and we did a BBQ grilling theme with the pizza pan,grilling basket,spoon,tongs,veg rack,cookbook and a couple rubs. The other basket we did the Ridged Baker,RCB,simple slicer,potato chip maker and a couple rubs. So we did a theme for the one and just a couple popular products and what you would need to use them
Hope this helps

It depends, I've done alot & I do have my favorites! It is all about getting your name out there & hopefully bookings & leads. I got hit up for alot back in Feb/March & was running out of stock, so I made up some gift certificates with expiration dates on them & so far only got 1 back! But I usually put in what I have in my walk in closet. People don't really care, they are just happy to win something, trust me I KNOW!

I donated a small ridged baker to an auction fundraiser this past weekend. It went for $75!

Dear Karen,First of all, I want to commend you for offering to do a silent auction basket for your family member's little boy. It's always heartwarming to see people come together to support loved ones during difficult times.In terms of what to include in the basket, I would suggest going with a theme. This will make the basket more cohesive and appealing to potential bidders. You could choose a "cooking with kids" theme and include some of our best products that are kid-friendly and easy to use. Some ideas could be our cookie cutters, pancake molds, and kid-sized aprons.Another option could be a "comfort and care" theme, where you include items that will provide comfort and relaxation for the family during this stressful time. Our stoneware and microwave cookware are great for making warm and comforting meals, while our aromatherapy products could help create a calming atmosphere.Lastly, you could also consider including a mix of different products in the basket, representing the different aspects of our brand. This could include kitchen tools, cookbooks, and even some of our non-food items like our cleaning products or kitchen organization tools.Ultimately, the most important thing is to include products that you genuinely believe in and that you feel will be useful for the family. I'm sure your basket will be a hit at the auction, and I wish your family member's little boy a successful surgery and speedy recovery.Best,
