Halloween Festival Jitters

On Friday, Oct. 20, we'll be having our Halloween festival, and I've got the jitters! This is the first festival for me as I wasn't employed by Kiddieland last Halloween. Every class has to come up with a gift basket and a game. I have no clue what I'm going to come up with. I've never done a gift basket in my life and as for games, all I know are things like dunking for apples and pin the tail on the donkey. I've looked for gift basket ideas on the 'net but none are appealing. I thought about doing a new baby gift basket, since I'm the infant teacher, but I'm afraid that'll be too trite. I can just hear people thinking, "Oh, another new baby gift basket. How original!". And no matter what theme I choose for the basket I'm sure I'll end up spending some of my own money to make it. Yes, we're asking the parents for donations but there're only four babies in my class so there aren't a lot of families to hit up for stuff. Needless to say, I'm not looking forward to this festival. I'll probably end up with a "been there, done that" gift basket, a corny game, and a lighter wallet. Happy Halloween. :(
