Living in Wyoming has it’s challenges. This area is pretty much known for snowing endlessly this time of year. One minute you have BEAUTIFUL weather outside your window and the next – full on blizzard for days. We are talking snow chances till the beginning of June. Sometimes even later {yes – mid July we have even gotten snow!} Sounds fun – right?

Well what is a family to do in a situation like this? We play games and munch on snacks – of course!!! My family personally loves the Hasbro Twister game and a big bowl of M&M’s® Peanut Butter to munch on during a cold winter Wyoming night. We set up shop in our living room, turn off all our devices and just enjoy each other’s company while we have some much needed family time. Since this is something we enjoy, it’s exactly what inspired today’s blog post!

If the above sounds likes something your family would love {or you know someone who lives in a chilly state like I do and they need a pick-me-up} you’re in luck because today I’m sharing an AWESOME Family Game Night Gift Basket Idea that is sure to perk up even the grumpiest person AND it won’t break the bank either! Not to mention it’s the perfect excuse to encourage someone to turn off their electronics and have a good night with the whole family playing some games!

With today’s simple game night gift basket idea, I hope to not only inspire your lucky receiver but you as well, to slow down and enjoy some much needed family down time. We get so wrapped up in our daily life that sometimes we forget the most important things in life – am I right?

So for cold winter nights that you know are going to get some people down – whip this simple DIY gift idea together and surprise them with something that can be used beyond just one night. Who knows – this might even cause a ripple effect and the lucky receiver might even “host” a fun game night at their home OR pass on the love to another lucky receiver with a game night basket of their own.
