Last Christmas I got baskets at the local resale store. They averaged @ $1 each, and some of them were really nice. I got a 3-tier hanging basket, a wastebasket, and some others. I also used a mini backpack and large flowery bag for gift containers. They were both like new and from the resale store.

My niece still carries the mini backpack for her purse!

Added later: I lined some of the baskets with tee or sweat shirts. I picked them up on clearance through the year, dirt cheap only.
