Thanks for the ideas. I found a few more on the internet.
One you take a block of wood. Put it in a baggie and write the following note and attach it. Ëxerciser" 1) Place block in center of room. 2) Walk around the block 2 times. 3) Rest! After all you've walked around the block 2 times.
If you will do a search on about.com you will find directions for making mini long johns out of two pairs of socks. We tried this and it turned out really cute. Since this will be a woman's gift we used socks with lace on them.
I am taking a washer and dryer for my gag gift you use the following poem and place a dishrag and dishcloth in your box.
This Christmas our ship has finally come in
We're feeling so wealthy and rich.
Instead of some small remembrance
This year will be quite a switch
We're giving a gift of high quality
No more cheap presents for us.
It's time we really went all out
But don't worry, its really no fuss.
We considered giving you a sports car
Or maybe a tropical cruise ---
But we decided to be more practical
And give something you really could use.
So, open the box and you may be surprised,
To find not only ONE gift, but two --
We hope you will put your presents to work
It's a WASHER & DRYER, too!!!!
The last one I found is Cow seeds, directions follow.
COW SEEDS:
Take some large white lima beans and paint black spots on them, put them in a baggie.
Staple saying to baggie.
Saying has two sides.
FRONT SIDE: (Has a picture of a cow on it)
COW SEEDS
HERD STARTER KIT
Directions on other side.
BACK SIDE: 1.Start your own herd.
2. Plant the seeds in warm spot right side up.
Cow will grow upside down if planted wrong.
3. Be patient, it takes a long time to start your own herd.
4. For best results, MOO softly while watering.
