June Flowers

The month of June is national rose month. It also happens that Father's Day occurs in June.

Yes, Dad's do like to receive flower deliveries. There are many masculine ways to design roses, and they would be perfect for a Dad who appreciates gardening or art.



Well for those of you who still don't think Dad would appreciate the flowers. How about plants?Your local florist can deliver the perfect houseplant or blooming plant to your deserving Dad.



For those of you who really still don't think living things are the right thing for a Father's Day gift, I've included this article with some ideas for Father's Day gifts. Hopefully, these ideas can get your creative juices flowing.



Gift Basket Ideas for MenBy: 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, packetsof 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 mugwarmer 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!
