I'll Bet He Won't Want One Of These!

Here's a gift that won't appeal to many men - or will it. I quietly suspect that although it certainly won't appeal to the majority of men, it will appeal to a lot.

Why, because I want one. I'm a man.

I love to cook. I do the cooking for my family and have cooked for myself and others for many years. It's something I learned from my parents when I was young and I've just always enjoyed it.

It's a stereotype that women cook the food and men eat it, and that men don't get involved in the cooking. Of course like all stereotypes there's a lot of truth in it, but it's also completely wrong for many men. After all, aren't most of the worlds best chefs men?

I have all sorts of frustrations over herbs. I love fresh herbs in my food. Problem is, the recipe calls for a spoon full of herbs, and I need to buy a bucket full, most of which go off in the fridge.

I've tried growing my own. With some success. And some failures. Frost, snails, slugs, birds, lack of water, my chickens and lots more have all contributed to the demise of most of my herbs over time. And they go to seed, or the kids pull them up, or ……

Whatever it is they don't seem to survive the disaster zone that is my garden.

So a wonderful indoor herb garden that supplies it's own herbs at hand, when he wants them, would be to die for. Out of reach of drought, beaks, mouths and kids. And perfect for when you live somewhere without any garden!

Automatically watered, it's own light source, and apparently plants grow much faster than in a regular garden when grown this way. They certainly would compared to my garden! And it comes with it's own seeds.

And once the herbs are grown he just breaks off a piece and the rest keeps on growing, not dying in the fridge.

Now as I said, your man may well not love this gift idea at all. At least not if he doesn't cook, and doesn't want to. But if he does cook it may well just be the most brilliant of birthday gifts for him, or Christmas gifts. If you're looking for great gifts for guys who cook, this one ranks. For guys who don't, forget it.

And of course there's lots of women out there who are looking for great gift ideas for cooking men, (lucky girls). This may well be the idea you've been looking for.

I found this at Problem Solvers. It's not really a [tag-tec]gifts website[/tag-tec]. It's more a website offering all sorts of unique and innovative ideas to solve normal household problems. You're not going to find pages of great gifts for guys there, but it's still well worth a look. After all you never know where that perfect gift idea may unexpectedly pop up.

After all, I want one. So how many other men out there will too?

I found it just now by typing "herbs" into their search tool.

And I suspect you'll also find all sorts of things there that may appeal to you, for you, not him. So you won't go away empty handed.
