Father's day gift for the fit Dad

Last night I was looking for my husband's gift and could not find it. You see I have to hide things because I have a 2 year old who brakes and destroys things. 
This morning I finally remembered where I hid it. Where is my brain? Do you also have this problem?

Chalkboard canister with protein bars for the fit Dad

I thought this gift was perfect for an active Dad. The medium size canister already has the label on. I wrote my words in French but you can also write them in English saying "#1 Dad". You fill it up with your Dad's favorite bars. I really think it's a good idea for my husband to take it even to work since he works out at lunch time. It's very pretty don't you think?

I also made a banner for the kitchen. Papa numero 1.

I really like chalboard banners because you can erase what you write to fit the occasion. 

- Spritz Chalkboard banner from Target. 

- Chalk markers from Target.

- Canister with chalkboard label from Tai pan trading.

- Cliff Mini organic protein bars in chocolate chips and white chocolate macadamia nuts from walmart.

Growing Amaryllis from bulbs

I really love bulbs to decorate and also to give as gifts. Growing Amaryllis bulbs is super easy and fool proof. You just need to keep water in the pot. Nature is such a miracle! I decided to have a pink Christmas this year and pink amaryllis were such a good idea. 

I always have flowers in my house and this idea is very cheap. So you can enjoy flowers for a little price.

You will need a kit or you can buy bulbs and plant them in miracle grow.

The kit includes the pot, bulb and dirt but I usually use my own pretty pots.

I used 3 pots in a wire basket that I got from Tai Pan this summer. I love wire baskets so much and even though I had no idea what to use it with, I got it anyway. Now it is going to look amazing with the Amaryllis plants. I first covered the bottom of the pots with kitchen plastic wrap so the water would not go through the terracotta pots and cause the wire basket to rust.

I planted the bulbs in the pots with dirt making sure the top of the bulb is sticking out. I will weight the pots with river rocks when the plants are bigger and heavier. Keep the soil always moist. It will bloom in 8 to 12 weeks. So the time to plant them is now.

I am so exited for this Christmas! I am planning lots of fun handmade ornaments and decorative idea post!
What colors are you going to use this Christmas? Would you give Amaryllis bulbs kits to your friends? Have you done it before?
