Blogmas Day Eighteen; DIY Gift Idea: Movie Night Basket

Welcome To Blogmas Day Eighteen Guys :)

I hope everyone's having a great weekend so far. Our province is currently unfortunately under an extreme cold weather warning with temperatures predicted to hit between -40 to -44 degrees Celsius, and so since I'm definitely planning on staying warm inside; I thought that today would be the perfect day to share a DIY gift idea.


I'm not typically what anyone would call "crafty," and yet I still love tackling DIY projects, regardless of the fact that they usually never turn out as pretty as the original on Pinterest.


However, I've never really done DIY gifts for Christmas before, and yet I've always found myself wanting too.


This year I happened to stumble across a pin on Pinterest that suggested doing a "movie night basket" as a family gift, instead of buying individual gifts, and I just knew that it was the perfect idea for my niece and three nephews.

While mine definitely doesn't look as amazing as some of the other one's I've seen, I was still really happy with how it turned out, and I really wanted to share it will you all for a Blogmas post.

I started out by wrapping an old Amazon book inside and out for my base. 

When I was looking up movie night baskets on Pinterest, most baskets included microwave popcorn. However, since my niece and nephews are all popcorn crazy, and their popcorn popper recently stopped working, I decided to include my all time favorite microwave popcorn popper instead. 

Next, I noticed that most of the baskets included some kind of soft drinks in with them, but I really didn't want to include that with mine. So I happened to find these adorable Christmas mugs at the Dollar Tree, and I thought a mug and hot chocolate theme would be my go to instead. 

It wouldn't be a movie night without snacks, and so I grabbed them a bag of popcorn kernels for the popper, a few different kinds of chocolate bars, a few different flavors of hot chocolate, gummy bears, licorice, and some cheese flavoring for the yummy popcorn.

Lol I'm sure my Stepbrother and Sister In Law are going to love me for this :)

I fit it all together cutely in my box, and included the two movies I'd purchased for this purpose. 

Overall, I'm so happy with how it turned out, and I can't wait to get it wrapped in cellophane, and give it to my niece and nephews.

Thanks so much for reading guys! Can you believe we're only a week away from Christmas??

I'm getting so excited, and I'll see you all tomorrow for Blogmas Day Nineteen. :)
