Gift Basket Ideas for Men

 
Author: Lisa DeClue

I'm always on the look out for great Gift Basket Ideas & have come up with a few especially for men. I'm using Home & Garden Party products, but you can easily adapt them to your line or what you have on hand.

For the wannabe chef:

Fill our Bean Pot with Carr's crackers, smoke flavoring, packets of chili seasoning & hot sauce. Wrap with cello and a plaid (or coordinating) bow with a masculine tag. He can make great chili with very little work!

For the shower:

Take a citrus or clean-smelling set of shower gel & lotion, a small wooden handled scrub brush and a rolled wash cloth or two, put in a wire basket from the dollar store and wrap in cello... I suggest our Orange Blossom, Coconut Lime or Spearmint Eucalyptus scents.

Coffee Hound:

Fill a wire basket with shred, add packets of gourmet coffee/cocoa and our "Life is Good" latte cup. Maybe add a mug warmer and wrap in a coordinating napkin.

Time for our Date:

We have some beautiful clocks with dark stain. Wrap one, like our Hideaway Box Clock, in a delicate silk or chiffon scarf with a note inside saying, "Meet me at __________ (place)." Set the time on the clock to the time of your rendezvous!

Author Bio:

Lisa DeClue

Lisa DeClue was raised on Long Island, NY, educated at U.C.S.D. & now resides in the Midwest with her husband & two sons. She is active in Women?s & Children?s Ministries at their church & is hopelessly caught in the fun of Scrapbooking.

Lisa has loved decorating since she was a little girl & is an avid fan of most of the shows on HGTV. These shows are popular because many people just don't know what to do to decorate their homes. They have ideas, but need a starting point & some direction along the way; but they really do know what they like & don't like. HGTV?s programs help guide them along the decorating path. They have increased the awareness of do-it-yourself possibilities & really opened up the desire for professional help, thereby adding to her business. She has learned through the school of hard knocks & has been around the ?home d?cor block? several times. Lisa offers her friends & customers an almost free "Decorator on call" service with a sliding scale: anything from a Diet Coke to lunch!

Lisa worked in marketing & selling since she was out of High School & was an Executive Secretary for over ten years. When she & her husband became pregnant, she suddenly found herself without a job, thus forcing her to be a Stay-At-Home-Mom. After their youngest was born, Lisa wanted to earn a little extra income & to keep her h& in the business world. A friend was having a Home & Garden Party & gave her a catalog. She was so impressed with the product & the fact that HGP is a Christian company from the top down that she signed up! Nowhere has Lisa ever worked with people of the high integrity & Christian values as the men & women of Home & Garden Party. It is so refreshing to not have to worry about any of the corporate world?s shifting values. Thanks to Home & Garden Party, Lisa has been able to put God first, Family second & Career third. She can augment her family income while she puts Brian & the boys first.

She is a Designer & Team Leader with Home & Garden Party. She is the owner of Decorating with HGPgal, an informative resource site for home d?cor, decorating tips & accessories, collaborative articles & a DecoForum. Lisa publishes a monthly decorating ezine with prize drawings & writes d?cor- & organizing-inspired articles. Please contact Lisa at Lisa@HGPgal.com & visit Decorating with HGPgal at HGPgal.com - your source for decorating information & beautiful details for your home at exceptional prices!
