  I credit my assistant, Karla, for coming up with the idea for the gift basket. She is always full of fun ideas...especially when it comes to the kids! We had a good time tossing around all the things we'd like to put in their goodie bags or baskets the last couple weeks. Knowing how my daughter has always wanted to go to Hershey Park, I thought it'd be fun to surprise her with park tickets, too. We added season passes to our local water park - Sesame Place - and a few little gift cards for our local ice cream shop and movie theater. I had so much fun, I couldn't stop. I thought "what if I made cute little vouchers for them all?" So, here they are: SUMMER FUN TICKETS!

To present like a booklet, just punch a hole in the corners, then tie with ribbon.

To include things like theater tickets, park passes, or gift cards, glue the card to the front of the envelope & stash the goods inside. I stacked a few on top of each other then wrapped with a ribbon. 

Here is yours! Ready to print and fill out!

What's great about this, is you have plans already in place for your child's summer and money allocated for the specific activities and places. Even ice cream money set aside! There were so many little trips and things we MEANT to do last summer and never got to. This year, I have a plan, the tickets, and it's all presented in sweet little envelopes!  It's gonna be a great summer!

WISHING YOU AND YOUR KIDS AN AWESOME SUMMER!
