Themed Silent Auction Basket Donations needed....

Make a Difference with a Themed Basket at Our Silent Auction!

The Grimes County Republican Women are excited to announce our upcoming fundraiser, and we need your help to make it a success! One of the highlights of our event is the Silent Auction, where attendees can bid on beautifully curated themed baskets filled with exciting items.

Silent auctions are a fantastic way to engage our community while raising funds to support our initiatives. And what better way to contribute than by donating a themed basket? Whether you’re putting one together as an individual, a business, or a group of friends, your donation will help us make an impact.

The Perfect Basket Theme: "Texas Proud"

One idea we love is the "Texas Proud" basket—celebrating everything that makes the Lone Star State special. Here are some ideas for what to include:

• Texas-Style Snacks – Think beef jerky, locally made salsas, gourmet pecans, and jalapeño jelly.

• Texas-Themed Décor – A rustic wall sign, Texas flag coasters, or a decorative horseshoe.

• Local Wines & Spirits – A bottle of Texas wine or craft whiskey from a local distillery.

• BBQ Essentials – A set of grilling spices, a Texas BBQ cookbook, or a set of sturdy grilling tools.

• Western Wear Accessories – A stylish bandana, a cowboy hat, or leather keychains.

• Handmade Goods – Support local artisans with handmade candles, soaps, or pottery.

By creating a "Texas Proud" basket, you’ll give bidders something truly special while showing off the rich culture and heritage of our great state.

Other Fun Basket Themes

If "Texas Proud" isn’t your style, there are many other fun and creative ideas for silent auction baskets:

• Wine & Dine – A collection of fine wines, gourmet cheeses, and elegant wine glasses.

• Family Game Night – Classic board games, popcorn, and cozy blankets.

• Self-Care & Relaxation – Bath salts, scented candles, face masks, and a good book.

• Sports Fan Basket – Gear and memorabilia from your favorite Texas team.
