Is your husband, boyfriend, father or grandfather expecting the same old tie they will never wear? I promised you more ideas. Your man is going to love Valentine's day.

This gift idea is for the golfer or handy man in your life.

Materials needed:

  • For the golfer-golf clubs, For the handy man-a variety of 6 screwdrivers
  • Floral paper
  • Floral ferns
  • Large bow
  • ribbon
  • stapler

The project is the same for the golfer or handyman. Just replace golf clubs with screwdrivers and do it on a smaller scale.

Take the floral paper and lay it out flat. Lay a second sheet overlapping the first but extending it to make the first sheet longer. Lay a length of ribbon on the diagonal from corner to corner. In the center lay out the ferns on the diagonal. Where the top of the ferns lay is going to be the top of the package. Now lay the golf clubs head up as you would roses with the ferns. Using the ribbon you previously layed down, pull up the ribbons on each side and tie off to bind the ferns and golf clubs.

Now take the bottom of the paper and fold it up over the club handles. Fold the sides of the paper around your 'bouqet' and staple off.

Now tie your large bow to the front of the 'bouquet'.

That's it. His first thought will be "Oh no, she got me flowers". His next thought will be "I am the luckiest man in the world".

For the screwdrivers, just use one sheet of floral paper and make it look like a smaller bouquet. The effect will still be the same. He will be thrilled it wasn't flowers.
