I never know what to get my Dad for Christmas. He needs a new wallet so I got him one and I will put a picture of DS in the photo sleeve.
I asked my Mom to tell me what he wanted or needed. She said he can always use more undershirts and socks......too boring.
So I decided to make him a beer gift gift basket. I went to Hobby Lobby yesterday and got a large gift box in Christmas plaid. I filled it w/ red tissue but the only thing I have in there so far is a jar of spiced nuts. I plan on adding a bag of pretzels and Chex Mix???
I called him last nite and I asked him, "What is your favorite beer?" He said I usually drink Miller Lite b/c it has less carbs. But then I asked but what is your "FAVORITE" beer...he said Pearl. Is is a Texas beer that is pretty hard to find but he grew up drinking that. So I am going to find a store around here where I can get him a 12 pack of Pearl beer. I thought he was going to say Heineken or Sam Adams.....oh well different tastes. Anyway the bottles w/ go in the basket.
So I looked on ebay last nite and found some Pearl Beer paraphanalia (Sp?) I don't think my Mom will let him put up a a Pearl Beer sign in their house! So I think I am going to get him two vintage Pearl Beer postcards...they are acutally pretty cool and in Spanish!! Anyway, I thought about framing them and adding them to the basket. But I don't even think my Mom will let him put up the postcards.....anything else I can do with them?
Finally, I just ordered a photo can cooler w/ a picture of DS that says...I Love You Grandpa!
What else can I add??? I thought about baking something and adding it but we will just be getting back from the inlaws when they come into town so I won't have time. I think the basket will pretty much be full but can anyone think of small cute, inexpensive fillers?
I am hoping I can find a cute ornament......
TIA!!!
