Thanks to a couple of German travelers with a traditional basket sense, the US has transformed into an Easter basket loving nation. Now let's get celebrity creative with a couple of males - two and a half worlds apart - teen sensation Justin Bieber and tiger-born Charlie Sheen.
But first, the expected supplies.
Celebrity Easter baskets ultimately require a basket, one newspaper, Easter grass [filler], clear basket wrap or festive wrapping paper, scissors, thick or thin ribbon, the traditional basket bunny and fruits everyone is accustomed to. Colors of grass, wrap, and ribbon are noted below for each celebrity. Moving on to the Beeb.
Justin Bieber Easter Basket
Colors required: Baby blue or light blue Easter basket filler; any color blue wrap; one roll of dark blue ribbon and another of white [length depends on basket size].
Justin Drew Bieber is a Canadian born singer, songwriter, actor, chick magnet, prank and parody target. Bieber was compared to the Beatles, coined his pop-popular hairstyle and continues to produce record breaking numbers splashed across the charts. Discovered on YouTube, a hit ever since - this kid seems unstoppable.
This particular basket is designed for the serious Bieber fan. So flip that hair to the side with one swift move and prepare to create an Easter hit. Baby!
Fill the bottom of the basket with crumbled up newspaper to offer the Easter grass fluff. Place the grass filler inside of the basket. Heavy and large items are next.
Items can include a Justin Bieber t-shirt rolled up nicely and tied with a ribbon. Ribbon color depends on shirt color. If the shirt is light colored use dark blue ribbon. If the shirt is dark in color then use white ribbon.
Other good base items for the basket would be one of Beeb's Justin Bieber Bears, a Bieber charm bracelet in a long box, a Justin Bieber Smile Photo Button with rubber fan bracelets. These items can be found in Justin Bieber's store.
Beeb's official website for merchandise includes [ready fans?] Bieber trading cards, girl's sweat pants, games, toys [even a JB doll], music, t-shirts, loungewear, outerwear, jewelry, iphone and ipod skins, electronic gift certificates and more.
You can find Beeb's My World, My World 2.0 and Never Say Never The Remixes through Amazon. Prices range an average .99 cents per song, $5.99 MP3, $7.99 for My World 2.0 and Never Say Never CDs, $8.00 for My World, $19.99 for My Worlds, and at last $49.98 for [guess] My Worlds + bonus. Best Amazon perk? There are song samples.
When purchasing online certificates, online music, or other gift certificates don't forget to write the surprise on a card with an Easter message. To bring the card a touch of class tie a small dark blue or white ribbon around it in one rotation.
Once you have built the ultimate Bieber basket, wrap it up! Tie the wrap with dark blue ribbon and top the Justin Bieber basket with white and dark blue bows. Should you include a purple bow? Never Say Never! Many of Bieber's merchandise is purple.
Charlie Sheen Easter Basket
Colors required: Orange filler; orange wrap; one roll of yellow ribbon, one roll of orange [length depends on basket size].
Charlie Sheen is winning!? Sheen has been Hunter-Hef busy. Sheen has reportedly experienced a hernia moment during a 36 hour porn sleepover, ranted over his producer's insulting vanity [cards], continues to face battles with ex-Brook, and still finds time to sell out on "My Violent Torpedo of Truth: Defeat is Not An Option" tickets for his tiger blood tour. Sorry haters - this is a winning basket!
The former Two and a Half Men star's website displays a tiger body with his face while smoking a [what appears to be] cigarette with each hand on fire - a yellow into orange glow. Therefore, the grass filler will be orange, the outer glow. The ribbon yellow.
Basket items can include a winning deck of cards [found at magic stores], one past or present magazine featuring Charlie Sheen, a porn magazine, one DVD copy of Scary Movie 3 [Sheen portrays Tom], a set of Two and a Half Men episodes, one porn flick, a pipe or cigars, a bag of nuts, and/or a rolled Sheen's Korner Tiger Blood t-shirt tied with a yellow ribbon.
Remember, Charlie is all about the love these days - two times over - he's on fire! He's got magic!
You can also include a shirt with a large stripe down the front similar to the shirts Charlie wore repeatedly on Two and a Half Men. Again, yellow ribbon. This leads us towards those funny Charlie Sheen gag gifts.
Gather a favorite beverage for the person you plan on giving this basket to and take off the label. Cut out a square that covers the area where the label used to be. Write down "Winner", "Bottle of Sheen", "Tiger Blood", or "Charlie Sheen's Self-Curer" then glue the new label to the bottle. Allow to dry and place inside of the basket.
Cafe Press shares "Duh...Winning!" t-shirts, "I'm not bipolar, I'm bi-winning!" bumper stickers, "I'm tired of pretending I'm not a total bitchin' rock star from Mars" mug on top of other Charlie Sheen sayings on merchandise.
Fill the basket with Charlie Sheen and watch someone crack a smile. But if you really want a double take then add Sheen's "My Violent Torpedo of Truth: Defeat is Not An Option" DVD [that is if it is on DVD].
Wrap the basket up with orange wrap and use yellow ribbon for an extremely large bow to place on top. Why? Because when it comes to the Charlie Sheen Easter basket challenge, defeat is not an option. Oh, we have a winner!
