father’s day gift basket
father's day gift basket
I just started a gift basket business in Omaha,NE, what are cheap places I can advertise and get feedback?
I just started my gift basket business in Omaha,NE. I have my own website and e-mail, but when I tried to put flyers on peoples car windows to advertise for father's day, I actually got yelled at by a few people and got no calls or new customers from all that work. Should I continue to advertise on cars and front doors because it doesn't seem to be working for me. Please help!!!
I was in a wives club for the navy and we made Baskets for extra income. Most of our customers came from flyers we had out in town. A few good places to post flyers are the
post office, (they usually have a bulletin board)
the gym, (they usually let you in the front or in the locker rooms)
local super market
small corner stores( we did mini marts)
We also went to a few of the larger bisnesses in town and asked if we could include a flyer for their emplyees and they took the flyer and posted it in the lounge for us.
We also dropped off 30 to each school to they could get put into the teachers personal boxes. You wouldn't believe how many hits we got from teachers wanting to give another teacher a small personal gift. Also if you go the school route a good thing to do is ask about back to school night and if you are willing to DONATE a basket (we did a movie theme for open house and a spa theme @ the end of the year) and they had our flyers out and a raffle for the basket. The school made over 100.00 on the basket donation and we got several calls for baskets to be made up.
If you need/want anymore info on ideas or anything let me know! Good luck, starting out can be the hardest, but NO NOT give up!!
HAPPY FATHER(LESS) DAY!

The Gift Of Time: Letters From A Father $15.59 At any given moment all parents ask themselves if theyve done enough to teach their children how to be decent and happy adults; to be honest and prepared citizens; to be healthy well-rounded individuals who live vibrantly and lovingly. Ultimately every parent worries whether their children will grow up to be individuals they will be proud of. Jorge Ramos like all parents is concerned with how his own two children are absorbing the world around them; how one day like all children they will eventually grow into adulthood and leave home. As the loving and thoughtful father he is Jorge asks himself: has he done enough to prepare his children for what the worlds future has in store for them? THE GIFT OF TIME is a touching and overwhelmingly personal book in which Ramos reflects upon the world we live in and what the role a father must fill in light of our increasingly frightening reality. Through his experiences as a journalist who has seen both the horrors and the grandeur that people are capable of he offers his children the sound advice they need not only to live but to strive in todays world. In the heart-felt and direct tone that has gained him the love and admiration of millions of fans across the country Ramos writes about the issues that plague every parents mind. In THE GIFT OF TIME Ramos speaks both to his children and to the future generations of Americans on what they can expect and what is expected of them as they embark on their journey towards adulthood. Timeless and wise this book will touch an emotional nerve between any loving parent and the children they must one day let go and live. |

Make Your Very Own Father’s Day gift baskets
It’s time for another Father’s Day, and as always, you want to get the dads in your life that perfect gift. This isn’t always easy, especially if you have a young child who also needs to get dad a present. You need to find something special for a kid to give, as well as making sure it’s something that dad can show off at work or family gatherings. Getting a gift that fulfills both obligations can be a tall order.
Luckily, with these simple and fun gift basket ideas, getting together a Father’s Day gift with your family is a snap! Gift baskets are a great present, plus they have the ability to fit any budget. Also, they’re something that even the youngest child can help you with, assuring that you’ll have a fun family activity. Dad is sure to enjoy this unique gift!
<b>The “Grilling Master” Gift Basket</b>
Ask yourself this: is it an accident that Father’s Day falls on the beginning of summer, also known as barbecue season? What dad doesn’t enjoy showing off his mad grilling skills? That’s why a new barbecuing tool set would be a great idea, and you can turn it into a “Grilling Master” basket, all you need is the following:
First, a medium sized wooden basket, which can be found practically anywhere, from an arts and crafts store to your local supermarket.
Second, the tools, you can get them either individually, or in a barbecue set.
Third, get spices and sauces for the actual preparation of the meat, which can include seasoning, Hickory sauce, or even steak sauce.
Fourth, get green “Easter grass”, or some other kind of shredded paper to fill out the bottom of the basket.
Fifth, get a teddy bear or other cute stuffed animal, preferably something masculine. This will make the basket just that much more fun!
Lastly, have your kids create a card by hand for that special touch.
Now it’s time to put the basket together. First, place the Easter grass or shredded paper on the bottom of the basket. Now you can arrange the items, and it helps to start with the big items first. Put the teddy bear in the middle as a centerpiece, then arrange the tools around the edges circularly, use tape or wires to keep them in place. Arrange the small items, like the spices and sauces wherever there is space. Don’t forget to leave some room for the card! In fact, one great idea would be to leave the teddy bear’s arm visible so that it looks like the bear is holding the card. And there you go, you have the perfect Gift Basket For your master griller!
<b>The “Outdoor Lover” Gift Basket</b>
If your dad isn’t the type who liked to barbecue, here’s another great idea for a dad-friendly gift basket. If you’d categorize him as an outdoorsman, then why not make him a special activities gift basket? This could include, hiking, fishing, or even canoeing. Here’s what you’ll need:
Start the same why you would with the Grilling Master gift basket, with a basket and filling, and the kid’s hand-drawn card.
Next, get a local trail map, which will help him get around during hikes.
You could also include a season pass to one of the parks in the area, and/or a fishing license.
Get an inflatable life jacket and include it in the basket, if he’s a canoe fan. (Or really any kind of boat fan).
If you have more money to spend, get him a semi-professional camera so he can capture all his outdoor moments.
Or if you don’t have as much money, get a few disposable cameras. You can justify this by pointing out that if this camera where to get lost in the woods or fall overboard into the water, it would be no great loss.
Also include another stuffed animal for the centerpiece, but this time choose a forest animal (like a stuffed raccoon,) or a friendly pet (such as a stuffed dog), to accompany dad on his trip.
Now put it all together. As before, put the grass or shredded paper at the bottom of the paper and then arrange the stuffed animal in the center. Then put the bigger items around the edges and fix them in place. Then add everything else around the edges.
So there you go, two baskets to really impress dad on this father’s day. Plus, making the gift basket a family project means you all get to spend time together, and insures that everyone can be proud of this great gift for dad!
