I had a lot of fun putting my basket together! I have things for the kitchen, the baker, the snacker and the girly girl! They are all items I use and love!

For the Kitchen and the Baker:
I professed my love for Bridget and her mad cookie decorating skills just the other day, her Decorating Cookies book is one of my new favorite things that I know will get a lot of use when I decorate cookies from now on! I wish I could give this book to everyone! Wilton’s Gift from the Kitchen is another book I love to reference, especially during the holidays! It has gift giving recipes and ideas for every occasion! I also tossed in some of my favorite Wilton tools that have multiple uses in my kitchen and are used often! Last but not least, every kitchen needs a jar of Vanilla Bean paste! Aside from my homemade vanilla extract, this is my favorite ingredient, especially in recipes where you want to see flecks of vanilla, like frosting, butter cookies, pound cake or Italian ice!
For the Snacker:
This obviously could have been a basket full of snacks! lol But I decided to narrow it down to a few of my favorite snacks that I’ve discovered thru blogging. Biscoff Cookies and Nutella! I can’t buy the Biscoff cookies very often, because I will eat the whole bag in just a few short days, but they are great in recipes, like Biscoff Banana Partfaits. The Nutella & Go is a snack I keep in my car, so when I’m out running errands, I can get my Nutella fix! lol Our pantry usually has a few jars for baking and finger dipping.
The Sean White Gum, well, that’s more like an addiction. If you know me, when I’m out of the house, I’m usually chewing gum (you never know who you’ll bump into and need fresh breath!) I received a sample of Stride Whitemint Sean White gum at the store well over a year ago, and was hooked. I always have at least 2 packs in my purse, and a few extras in the house for back up!
For the Girly Girl
Of course I had to go with my favorite Benefit mascara that I’ve told you about and my favorite Sephora Lip Gloss that I raved about! They are both products I could not go with out! The Burt’s Bees lip balm is a MUST every night before I go to bed for years.
I would like to send my Favorite Things Under $25 basket to one lucky TidyMom reader!

I love the cookbook, idea books & nutella. And so much more.
I like the silicon brush-those are the best!
I am crazy about the Burt’s Bees lip balm. It is my one mainstay in my purse, make-up bag, desk and car. I use it daily and cringe when I can’t find a tube in my stash!
The pastry blender!!! The handle on mine totally snapped off last week and a new one is on my Christmas list this year!
I’ve never had a pastry blender, so I think that is one of my favorities. The whole basekt is awesome.
Well I love Benefit cosmetics but I also LOVE Nutella!!!
All your picks are amazing, but that Nutella looks really yummy:)
I love your basket!! Nutella, Burts Bees, and Biscoff cookies!
I would love the vanilla bean paste
Would LOVE everything in the basket, but my personal favorite would be the Benefit “They’re Real” Mascara!
The Decorating Cookies book!
My favorite would have to be the vanilla bean paste. I have never used it, but I can imagine baking some yummy Christmas treats with it!
I NEED the cookie decorating book! Like…I really need it! Added to my Christmas list. Hope I win it all instead!!!
The cookbook. I love cooking!
Pastry blender! I don’t have one. I always just use a potato masher! 🙂
All my favorites! & then some :))
I love Nutella and Go too! I buy that and keep it in the car for my daughter when she forgets a snack for cheer and she can’t wait until we get home to eat it. I love putting it in her stocking at Christmas too because she thinks it is such a treat! The vanilla bean paste is a soon to be favorite too – I have that on my Christmas want list!
The cookie decorating book.
Great ideas!!!
I love the baker’s blade. Very cool!
Oooo fun giveaways! Mama needs a new pastry brush and with this cold weather in VA the burts bees would be right on time 🙂
Bridget’s book is my favorite and is on my Christmas list.
My favorite item is a toss-up between the vanilla bean paste and the biscoff cookies. Have you ever had biscoff butter (my sister found it at Cost Plus World Market). It has the consistency of peanut butter but tastes like the cookies.
I love the nutella to go too. What a great basket!!
What isn’t my favorite?? I love it all. But I think I am most partial to the Burt’s Bee. I always have chapstick, lipgloss, etc on hand.
This is so neat,would use it all! I really like the pastry brush seems mine is always in the dishwasher .
I love the Nutella & Go!
My son loves it in his lunch box as an extra little treat too!
The Burt’s Bee’s Lip Balm is my fav.
cute basket…i love NUTELLA!
This would be awesome to win!!!
I have always wanted to try vanilla bean paste! I also love the Burts bees lip balm.
That cookie book needs to come to my house!
I love NUTELLA
I would love the Nutella and vanilla bean paste. Awesome for Christmas baking!
Super fun 🙂 I would love the vanilla, my daughters would love the gloss and mascara. Thanks!
your whole basket sounds amazing; but I would love to check out those books!
When I saw the vanilla bean paste I thought yes that is my favorite thing too.
i love all burts bee’s products!
Love any & every Wilton tool! I am interested in finding out what vanilla bean paste is….love to bake so I am sure I will find a use. 🙂

I’m totally addicted to Burt’s Bees!

The pastry blender or the cook book! But really I love it all!
