It’s that time of year my friends! There’s something about the holiday season that just puts me into a happy place. Today I’m sharing with you a gift that would be perfect for just about anyone {over 18 years of age} on your holiday list! This Family Game Night Gift Basket with NJ Lottery is just gorgeous and packed with the newest NJ Lottery Holiday Scratch-Offs, homemade scones, a game, puzzle, cards, snacks & more!

 

Have you all started the holiday shopping yet? I know I tend to be a little late to the game. This year I was sitting thinking of a fun idea to gift to some of our family friends that would be enjoyed by everyone. I know we love a good game night so why not throw together an amazing Family Game Night Gift Basket with NJ Lottery! I think a gift that can be enjoyed with loved ones is so thoughtful- especially as people are staying in more than going out. This basket is filled with homemade scones, popcorn, gummy bears, games and the newest New Jersey Lottery Holiday themed Scratch-Offs available for the holiday season.

The New Jersey Lottery  is introducing 4 Holiday Scratch-Offs ($1 “Festive $50’s”, $2 “Holiday Lucky Times 10”, $5 “Holiday Delight”, and $10 “$50 and $100 Blowout!”). These Holiday themed games are fun, festive and who wouldn’t love the chance to win one of the many prizes! These tickets can now be found at any brick & mortar stores that sell NJ Lottery Scratch-Offs. I LOVE a themed gift and this year I am celebrating with a basket full of family friendly goodies (NJ Lottery Scratch-Offs for ages 18+)!

Be sure to check out my themed gift baskets from years past… Pasta Lovers Gift Basket, Baking Lovers Gift Basket, Food Lovers Gift Basket and Breakfast Lovers Gift Basket.

How adorable is this winter penguin gift box? I found them a few years ago and bought several because they’re just great to have on hand for gifts. The past couple years have not been the easiest for so many and life has really changed. I know a lot of our friends are spending more time at home with their families so what better gift than one that can be enjoyed by the whole family- plus I LOVE a gift basket! With a game night in mind I grabbed a beautiful puzzle, deck of playing cards, dice game, holiday drinking cups perfect for hot chocolate, snacks and a bag of my homemade Chocolate Chip Scones. For that element of surprise, something special for the adults (18+) and the chance to win I created a couple ways to incorporate NJ Lottery Scratch-Offs!

I found these mini cardboard popcorn holders at a local party store and thought they’d be a perfect way to incorporate the 4 NJ Lottery Holiday Scratch-Offs. For the $1 “Festive $50’s” I opened up one of the popcorn holders, grabbed some ribbon, paper, a marker, decorative cutting scissor and tape. I cut out a rectangular piece of scrapbook paper with the fun scissors and wrote “Pull Me” on it. 

Next cut a long enough piece of ribbon that can fit about 5-6 of the $1 “Festive $50’s”. Starting with the “Pull Me” paper, place a small piece of tape on the back of the scratch-offs to attach to the ribbon, making sure not to tape over the barcode. Carefully place the scratch-offs into the popcorn holder leaving only the “Pull Me” showing. 

I used two more popcorn holders to hold some of the $2 “Holiday Lucky Times 10”, $5 “Holiday Delight”, and $10 “$50 and $100 Blowout!”. I left the holders flat this time, inserted 3-4 NJ Lottery Scratch-Offs into each then placed them onto the front of the gift box using the lid on the bottom to keep them in place. Its so easy but so fun and perfect for a Family Game Night Gift Basket with NJ Lottery. 

I know I’d be thrilled to get this as a gift! Gift baskets are a great way to show friends and family how much you appreciate them and are so customizable. I made this one for my brother and I know the family is going to love it!  I think the holiday themed scratch-offs are the perfect addition to this holiday basket! I can’t help but wonder, What would YOU do if you won? Me- well I think I’d complete a couple home projects I’ve been wanting to do. 

I have to tell you about something I just learned about with the NJ Lottery, the Million Dollar Replay!! If you go ahead and sign up for FREE to the NJ Lottery VIP Club you can actually enter non-winning tickets into a Million Dollar Replay second chance drawing!! How awesome is that… because hey, everyone deserves a second chance!
