BASKET #5

A date filled with culture, champagne and creativity! We'll start the day at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, I'll bring the coffee and pastries to get us going. After taking in the artwork and hopefully finding some inspiration, we'll enjoy a leisurely lunch at Parc with champagne for two. Once we've eaten we'll go on to Flowers and Co. where we can put our inspiration to good use and create something of our own.

The perfect evening - a few rounds of bowling followed by a visit to Loco Pez. If you're lucky I'll share some of my favorites with you. To finish we'll grab a beer at Fishtown Tavern, loser buys the first round.

BASKET #3

Enjoy an evening of axe throwing, where you can picture your ex as the target, since you were single enough to bid on a basket...

And if you’re bitter over an ex, enjoy a few drinks and eat your feelings with someone who is certain to be better company.

Overwhelmed by the more…intense aspects of Valentine’s day? Looking for something more casual? Join me for a lighthearted and fun-filled boozy flower arranging class! Come with me to a local florist for a special flower arranging session, where we’ll craft the perfect bouquet to bring home with us…or maybe give to someone extra special. I’ll bring the fixings for some specialty cocktails and some light snacks – the only thing you need to bring is yourself!

looking for love in all the wrong places? maybe it’s time to leave it up to chance.

Every year, the City of Philadelphia sponsors a date basket auction, where you can buy raffle tickets and enter for a chance to win a date with a random resident! Participants are tasked with designing a basket and accompanied anonymous description of what they have planned.

The proceeds benefit a particular charity every year, and this year the City has chosen the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia as their recipient!

Baskets can be as literal or figurative as you’d like them to appear. They can either provide an aesthetic overview for the evening or quite literally show items that would be contained in the basket, the artistic flair is yours to take and run with!

The fun in this event is truly allowing it to be anonymous, so only the Admin will know who created what basket, and the winner will win from a random number picked based upon those who bid.

All winners and their dates will be announced on February 14th!

For questions about designs or other aspects of this event off-shoot, please do not hesitate to message the main.

***Depending on numbers, all bidders may not receive a date.

please submit all baskets by february 10th.
