need gift ideas

[For-Life]

A friend of mine and his family are opening up a heating and cooling company. They are having a bbq this week to celebrate.

I need gift ideas. Under $50 please. No booze, it is too tacky.

If you're up to being creative, I'd recommend making something like this



Since it's a BBQ, not only would this be appropriate, you can be assured that it will be used...er, eaten! LOL

Cans of sliced pineapple, a pint of strawberries, blueberries, oranges, melons of all sorts....and a basket and some skewers and just start cutting and sticking away. That will definitely be under $50!

that is more in the right direction.

I am wondering if there is anything that could give them for the business? Keep in mind that two of the guys are pretty blue collar, so something like a fancy organizer would not work.

Come on my Canuck friend! How much more helpful would a LEATHERMAN tool be to a heating and cooling professional?

Okay....okay, just because I love ya:

1.) http://www.wildernessoutfittersarche...indexpage.html

Find them something nice to encourage breaking away from the 24/7 of business!

2.) http://www.northernbrewer.com/

Again.......encourage UN-work related *FUN*!

3.) Body massages!

They will need them, believe me. No.....I ain't talking about those sensual release, shower joints that you "HEAR" about! I am talking a for real massage! They do a soul good!

What about a gift certificate for dinner / movies / local attraction? Most folks that start a business find themselves working a lot and family time gets neglected. You could even put together a gift basket with delivery pizza, video rentals and micro popcorn for $50.

Lots of soap, shampoo, and body wash. Have you ever seen how dirty HVAC guys get?

You could buy them a bunch of drink kooszies (the things that keep drinks cool in the Summer- just like HVAC keeps YOU cool) with their company logo on them...

Here's a site- they aren't expensive at all. My family uses them all the time, they really do a great job of keeping drinks cool in the Texas heat!

What better advertisement for an HVAC company!?!

Pete, Pete, Pete........................

With all due respect;

If you need a *Drink Koozie* to keep you drink cold....YOUR DRINKING TOO DAMN SLOW *!!!!!!!!!

;):cheers::cheers::cheers::cheers::D


*That is unless you are drinking English Real Ale......which you do not drink cool to begin with!

Something no one ever thinks of is an emergency kit.

Either fire, earthquake, auto, that sort of thing.

Or a gift certificate.

My days of chugging Long Island Ice Teas are over- it takes at least 10-15 minutes to drink one today! :p
