PLAYBOY....is that what we were discussing last

Joe.....Mom said, "He's gettin a bit Randy isn't he! I about fell out,

and I need some advise and a brainstorm. I have always wrapped my baskets in Tulle (shiny, scratchy net looking stuff) but I'm not sure that's the way to go to wrap a Man's Basket.....

All of my baskets thus far have been for women, or a small gift included for the Man, but easily the baskets would be 90% geared to the woman. I have attached a few photographs so you can see what a typical basket looks like wrapped, and then another photo of the small chest I found.

This is a problem, I've not had to think about before......so look at the pictures and see what you think. The basket leaving here tomorrow is 90% Husband and 10% Wife.

LOL....Whoops! As men do you mind the look of the tulle......??

And now for the advise....I decided that used Cigar boxes would make really nice containers for a Man's Gift Basket ( thinking ahead to Christmas ) So I looked around some on the internet and found a few nice ones, and some nice sets....some premium boxes mixed in with mostly paper, but some of those were really nice too. Cost varies.....10 boxes for $19.95, 25 boxes for $25.00 (but would probably only use half) Ebay has some great boxes, but they charge a freakin arm AND one leg for the shipping!

So low and behold, whilst surfing around looking for cigar boxes, I found a cigar forum..... where a gent was selling off some of his empty boxes. So I thought about it for a few days and then I joined the cigar forum...LMAO.

I introduced myself, stated my case (Shaving soap maker) mostly asking for permission to put in a request "to list for empty cigar boxes in their trade section". I've learned so much since I've been hangin out with y'all ...chuckle.

WoW!......They're a right friendly bunch!

and a few have sent me PM's saying they have empty cigar boxes....and one fella said he was jaaa-st getting ready to list all of his boxes on Ebay, but he'd hang on to them until I got back to him.

Now this is a totally girl question, and yes.....I'm trying to get to the point.

I'm not very good at trading you see. I don't know what to offer for a cigar box ? Be it one or ten....should I let them name a price first? I don't know what to do.....I've gotten meself in a wee bit of a mess....ya see.

So does anybody have any advise for me???

Like "Casa Blanca" with Humphrey Bogart ?

Men are not wrapping people. My wife will always wrap gifts in nice paper, put on ribbon and a bow. With me sometimes it's still in the bag.. Hey remember its the gift that counts not the wrapping.
