I know most people consider this to be strange, but I missed volunteering when we homeschooled. I was super excited and eager to organize Will’s class auction basket this year. I truly enjoy volunteering and helping my kids’ teachers. I don’t get to be in the classroom, because I still have a little with me, so I look for other ways to help.
Lucas’s teacher opted out of doing a class auction basket, so I didn’t get to do one for her. I would have been more than happy to do a class auction basket for her too!
We were supposed to limit our baskets to $75 value, and the class really came through so we were able to do 2 baskets. How awesome is that?! I was dissapointed to see that not everyone followed the rules. There was one basket that had an Apple tv!!! We bid on it but were very quickly outbid.
The first basket I chose was a Bar-b-que basket. I didn’t want to to do 2 of same thing but I was torn on what to pick next. I eventually decided on the game night basket. These were so much fun to shop for!
I hope this inspires you when looking for class auction basket ideas. I know I really enjoyed cruising pinterest for fun ideas!
What are some baskets you have assembled or bid on in the past?! Did you win?!
I fully understand your desire to volunteer in your children’s schools. Sandy and I have been on field trips too numerous to mention. Sandy was PTA president and was actually popular. And the grand finale, I was an official, designated room mother. (You take help where it’s offered!)
Our old school did this and we always like the game or craft baskets. They seemed to draw the biggest crowd!

These are such great ideas and will make great holiday gifts too. Our school does a similar auction in teh spring.

YES!! They would make great holiday gifts. Awesome idea.
These are both great ideas and I’m sure whoever wins them will be delighted! I make an auction basket every year for the horse farm my daughter volunteers at.

My church school does an auction and they always ask people to make baskets. These are such great ideas – will have to remember to make this in the spring.

Crazy timing for me to read this post because I’m literally in the middle of working on an auction fundraiser for my son’s Project Graduation next year. Thanks for the fun ideas!

I don’t think our schools do class auctions. These are great ideas, though, if the opportunity does come up. That BBQ basket is packed with goodies!
