So I was stumped on what to make for my BIL that wouldn't look like I was just 'making something for the sake of making something.' Let's just say that it takes very little for the men in Brad's fmaily to start making fun of you and they don't let up quickly. So it had to be something that is well done and that would actually be liked/used. Most gifts for these guys are electronics - anything for the car, TV, or fishing.
One day i realize that i couldmake something for the kitchen....after all bachelor pads need to look good so that girls are impressed. Ah-ha! So i texted my BIL and asked:
what are your kitchen colors?
he answered : my walls are creme and the countertops a neutral color.
after laughing out loud. I realized that being a single guy he didn't know I meant. So I asked him if he still had the green stoneware dishes we gave him.
he replied: Yeah, they are getting alot of use lately. your popsicle house is coming along great.
That sealed the deal. I asked Brad to read the text and confirmed that BIL was making fun of me for making gifts. He was definately getting kitchen stuff, whether he liked it or not!
Now he has kitchen colors. Funny thing is that the craft book he gave me as a gift has quite a few popsicle stick projects. Guess what your getting for your birthday BIL! Make room for the popsicle stick lampshade.
