Great gift ideas for dads
who love to grill, play golf and more.
For the
father who loves to grill
This design is perfect for the dad who considers grilling an art form. By
combining mesquite chips, a wood-handled spatula, meat fork
and tongs with an attractive and bright yet masculine
collection of Gerberas and birch branches, an eye-catching
and useful gift is created. The tools also could be tied to
the arrangement with a piece of raffia to make this gift
easier to transport.
HOW TO: Evenly space three magazines around a
prewrapped miniature rose plant. Secure the magazines in
place with a large rubber band, and cover the rubber band
with ribbon, making an attractive bow on the front.
MATERIALS: Gerberas, birch branches and cylinder vase
from favorite suppliers; wood chips and grilling tools from
the outdoor department of your store.

For the
father who loves to play golf
By customizing an ivy plant for the golf lover, a
personalized and useful gift is created. Not only will the
recipient have an ivy plant perfect for his home or office,
but the bag of golf balls is sure to come in handy the next
time he heads out to play 18 holes.
HOW TO: Wrap an ivy plant with the sports page from a
local or national newspaper that is “sandwiched” between two
sheets of clear cellophane. Glue two golf balls to golf
tees, and add them to the plant as you would a pick. Set a
bag of golf balls into the plant.
MATERIALS: potted ivy plant from favorite supplier;
golf balls and golf tees from local sporting goods store.

For the
father who loves cars
By beginning with a package of Armor All Protectant Wipes
and adding bright florals, an unusual yet attention-grabbing
design is assembled that would be a prize trophy in the eyes
of a car lover. Consider shrink-wrapping a second container
of wipes, a chamois or a package of air freshners to the
design for an added gift.
HOW TO: Empty the container of wipes, and rinse it
out thoroughly. Add floral foam and flower food solution,
and arrange carnations and lilies into the foam. Insert one
wipe through the hole in the lid, then pick the lid into the
design.
