Hi,
I love your basket ideas! 🙂 I especially like the car related items. Portable jumper cables are a must, too. When I attended college, I needed a jump more than once. An AAA membership would also be useful. Yes, your cookbook idea is great! I will pin this! I found your link on Motivate Mondy -Keeping it Simple Block Party -Link Party.
Best,
