 Why not add this printable to a folder in clear sleeves and a home made coupon promising 2 hours (or an afternoon) of your help with the task. What a wonderful gift for a crafty friend.

"Hose" gardeners gift basket.

Pictured here is the "hose" basket made by Robby Towill (a gifted artist and friend.) 
She informed me the idea was from the internet so I looked for a how to guide, naturally...
The one I found was a little different, but you get the idea.

Now imagine this filled with coffee grounds, tea, washed & crushed egg shells and other garden food you would normally throw away. perhaps a plant or some homemade labels, seed packets, seeds, ... what an unexpected and useful novelty.
