One of my goals for this month is to send my friend a good birthday present.
Hmm...let me think. He's outdoorsy and likes hiking. Maybe I should give him the book I gave Matt a few years ago.
What else? Is there something I could make for him that would be useful? What about handmade stationary with stamped envelopes?
Or what about a cooking class at the Whole Foods in his town? They have "Lunch Express" classes. For $18, you get a cooking class and a scrumptious lunch. That might be fun.
Choices...choices.
I'm an outdoorsy/environmentalist type and I love field guides of all kinds - trees, birds, grasses...you name it. Maybe he would enjoy something like that. I also like CDs of bird calls. Huge dork, I know! You could put together a fun "gift basket" of stuff like that and include a freeze dried backpacking meal.
ReplyDeleteI like your book idea a lot, and the train mix/energy bar care package (don't forget the Chocolate Brownie Clif Bar ... mmmm)! Also, if he has/wants to hike the Appalachian Trail, he may be interested in a book called "A Walk in the Woods" by Bill Bryson. I love that book, it's funny, interesting, and inspiring, always makes me want to go back to the AT!
