BBQ - Gift Basket

I just bought a BBQ today. Now if you live in Queensland like myself a BBQ is an essential item to have.

I have the meat and salad when it occurred to me that I was missing a couple of essential items.

Take a look at some suggestions for creating your own BBQ Gift Basket for your friends and family.

BBQ LOVERS
Make up a batch of your famous BBQ sauce and can it in a pretty jar. Add bags of chips, beer and/or cokes, homemade potato salad, some bread rolls to cook in the oven. Line the basket with red gingham cloth napkins. Add a couple of utensils as they never go astray and invite yourself over for a BBQ.

Happy BBQ'ing.

Looking for a gift - then give a gift basket!

People love receiving gift baskets. Gift Baskets are fun to create, they show the person receiving the gift how much you care about them and value their individual tastes. There are so many different ways to make a beautiful gift basket - the ideas become endless.

Here are two ideas for teenagers:

FOR A TEENAGE GIRL
Find a small to medium sized basket and line with pink tissue paper or raffia grass. Buy a sampler pack of flavored lip glosses, powders, lotions, a makeup kit and a light sporty fragrance and artistically arrange. Don’t forget bracelets, rings, watches, earrings, and necklaces. Wrap in colored cellophane and tie with a bow.

FOR A TEENAGE BOY
Place a couple of their favorite CD's in the basket along with a pocket comb and skin care and hair products designed for males.

If you have any ideas - please feel free to post them to this blog.
