I have a hard time doing bouquets for men I don't know..Someone called me today and asked me to do one for her husband's b-day..She said she would pay $25 for one..I decided on doing balloons in bright colors and cut out his age 56. I found a real pretty box type container with colorful balloons on it..I think it is hard to make them for men. Does anyone else agree? I have ordered some cutters shaped like Tools...I have fish...baseball and football...need more male ideas....Thanks!

I did a search on cookie bouquets on the web and copied pictures into a word document. I found several cute ones out there. If you know about the guy's interest or sport, you can go with that.

if he is a business kinda guy, different neck ties would be cute!

The ties are a really cute idea, I like that! I can't believe how many different options there are for cookie cutters - truly amazing!

How about: Cars, motorcycles, lodge theme stuff such as deer, bear, moose, cabin and fish.

Or just using a wedding cake cookie cutter to do brightly colored birthday cakes? I've seen those online and they are pretty gender-neutral.

just drop a BIG choco chip cookie on a stick in front of me (ok...or a oatmeal walnut or pecan or better yet both raisin w/ choco chips or a white & dark chocolate macadamia nut cookie) on a stick...and you can forget any fancy shapes or deco....

just get out of the way and let me PIG out!

(did you note the CHOCOLATE theme in the above cookeis.....oooohhh chocolate chocolate chunk cookies w/ pecans/walnuts!!)

Don't forget golf...also beer bottles if they drink beer. My hubby just likes plain ole choc. chip cookies. Oh, and brownies.

I did make the bouquet with balloons (see posted photo on gallery). I think it turned out cute. I don't know him, so it was hard to figure out what to do. I asked his wife a few questions, does he like to fish, hunt, nascar? She just said he was a good husband, christian man, good day...but didnt' tell me any interests as far as hobbies..so this is what I came up with...I hope to be better prepared next time. Thanks for the replies.

I think it looks great! You did a wonderful job, especially considering you didn't have much to go on.

Holy cow you work fast. LOL!! It looks great, good choice.

Awesome ideas on this thread! I've done one with ties before and it was so cute! Most of mine have been beer, golf or sports themed! Oh, I've also done one of a TV remote!

Unless it's really fru-fru, if it's edible, the guy will luv it!

I saw a bouquet somewhere with...beer, chickenwings, Hooters tanktop, football...ALSO, what about t.v., grill, boat, fishing or camping gear, cars, NASCAR, poker chips/cards, tools, golf ball-club-bag-tee-visor-beer,...girl stuff-bra, panties, lingere, PBbunny,......Occupational cookies can be cute too! HTH

Doug - I'm getting the impression you like chocolate! My kinda guy. Though I'm not as much a chocoholic as my sister. She actually has stashes of chocolate hidden around the house!
