Different views of Easter Basket

March 22nd, 2010

An Easter basket filled with wrenches, screwdrivers and a hammer along with other small tools would be a convenient idea for the handyman on Easter list. Fill plastic Easter eggs with nuts, bolts and all the little hardware pieces he might need. Throw in a few DIY-type magazines that suggest projects that will appeal to the workman who gets this basket. A ruler, sandpaper and even a box of nails can fill the basket. Wrap the basket in colored cellophane and make a bow out of a measuring tape to top it off.

A keychain with a four-leaf clover or a pair of dice will give the player a feeling of luck. If they enjoy a good bingo game, add some bingo markers and a magnifying glass to see the numbers on the game cards up close. If it is the casino scene they enjoy the most, give them plastic eggs filled with quarters to play the slot machines with. Fill a jar that says “bingo money” with jelly beans to eat now and use the jar to save coins for bingo money later. Throw in a blow-up seat cushion for comfort, and don’t forget the hand sanitizer for handling all the money they will win. Wrap the basket in Easter cellophane and top it off with a big purple bow.

A basket filled with wine will make any wine connoisseur appreciate the tradition of receiving an adult Easter basket. This could also be a hostess gift for the family member or friend putting on the Easter dinner. Make sock puppets that look like bunnies to cover the wine or put simple construction paper bunny faces on each bottle.

Adventurous Retirement Gifts for the Young at Heart

March 16th, 2010

We all know someone who will retire this year or even within a few years so why not give them a gift they will never forget. Skip the norm this year and get them something that will make them feel like a teenager again. Try to steer clear of the typical gold watch or a trip to the spa where they can lounge all day. If you think of it all they will be doing is relaxing for the rest of their life, so give them one last adventure to treasure.  Why not give them something like an adventure cruise, camping trip, or rent an RV for them and have them travel to a few states? That would be a truly unforgettable retirement gift! You could even book them a trip to a log cabin that is filled with all sorts of outdoor activities.   For those who tend to stay indoors rather than out why not book them a cruise that is filled with all types of dance activities? There are so many theme filled cruises to choose from, there are dance cruises, murder mystery cruises, of course for all those single guys and gals there are also romance cruises. This would be the perfect thing for anyone wanting to go out with a bang.
