Go to your nearest thrift store. I found at least 50 useable baskets around Christmas and they all were under $1.00. I didn't use them all, of course, but I'm saving them for future orders.

Kristi my friend - go to The Container Store and go to the wrapping paper/boxes aisle. They have beautiful gift boxes decorated in florals and such for about $0.69 a box. The boxes will hold everything you've listed above. I use these for my $20 baskets. I leave the top open and standing completely up (to hold up my bottles.) Don't fold the top back at all. After I put my products in it, I put it in a cello bag and tie with a pretty ribbon.
You can also check out www.nashvillewraps for boxes too - they have them in all different prints - not sure if they have "tops" though.

I found some really cute baskets at our local walmart. they were 1.99 per. they had bark looking ribbon woven into it and there was seagrass ribbon on some of them.

Big Lots, Dollar Tree, Dollar General, Family Dollar...those are my staple places for stuff like decorative boxes, tins & baskets.

Thanks everyone! Went to big lots and found what I was looking for. They had very sturdy clear plastic bath caddys for a dollar. Perfect for what I'm making!
You are the best! They also had rose petals for 2 bucks. The same thing that Michaels sells for 8. I love a bargin!

For those of you who need lots of baskets or other gift holders, try the Willow Specialties company. I have bought from them. Their prices are very reasonable, and extraordinarily inexpensive in their sale catalogs. I think their catalog pictures will inspire you with basket-filling ideas, too. They also have trays, buckets, bowls, etc., as well as shreds, boxes, bags, rafia, wrapfia, etc.

They are "wholesale to the trade," but I found that all I needed to use was my SS number, and paid by credit card.
