Gifts from the kitchen, Last MInute Guy Gift

Every man I know is a grilling fool, master.  HH and HHjr can discuss grilling all day long, and they both have 3 different types of grills, gas, charcoal and a Green Egg.  I have my quirks too, so I try not to comment.  The other day they went to the grocery store…

All they bought was meat! Meat, meat and more meat! Oh, yeah, and a bottle of Bar-B-Q sauce… Really?

Last year HHjr gave his dad plastic tubs full of different kind of chips to use when grilling and he LOVED it! He kept the plastic tubs right by the grill, outside all year long, handy and dry.  Recently he used the last of them and said, tell HHjr to refill these tubs for me for Christmas!

HHjr also needed a gift for NG, his brother-in-law, and BE, his cousin’s hubby whose name he drew for our family Christmas present swap…he decided to do this for all of them

He got the wood chips at Academy Sports and picked up the Sterilite tubs at Target.

I told him those labels would just pull right off…looks like he started doing that…hope he finished…who am I kidding, guys don’t even NOTICE stuff like that!

Last year he cut the labels off the bags and glued them on HH’s tubs

He decided to just use a sharpie this year!  As I said, guys don’t care! We would have designed some cute label or downloaded a printable label…

But hey, he created 3 GREAT GIFTS in just a few minutes!  They are tucked away in my garage until he figures out how to wrap them…He said something about getting some moving boxes from Home Depot {his favorite store} so it ought to be interesting to see how this turns out…

He also prints out an info sheet pairing the different flavored chips with foods they compliment and some recipes to try.

HAPPY, MERRY, HOLLY, JOLLY!
