Your Gift Ideas for Others

Post by **Sham** » Wed Apr 06, 2011 7:46 pm

Yes, yes, yes, it's considered poor taste to suggest your creative ideas to others, for them to make for the festival.
There are so many ideas running through our heads, that maybe if they are posted here, some of them will come to life.

How about a bicycle with an ice cream box on it to ride around the playa offering frozen treats. How about a hot dog cart?

Any other unused ideas?

I already have the basket and flexible cooler that fits in it. Wasn't thinking ice cream - more along the lines of frozen Otter Pops.

Me thinks someone wants free food on the playa.

I saw a bike with a basket on the front with a little fire in it, to toast marshmallows on.

Food is a great gift! Especially sashimi.

...you can find me in Terminal City.

I had a delightful bacon-wrapped hot link from a guy with a grill on the back of his bike.

Ja, it was walking with you when I saw him!

Some practical "gifts" I enjoyed out and about included the aforementioned sashimi, sunscreen, cold water and Jagermeister.

Just a continental breakfast: freeze-dried coffee, SunnyD orange juice, and a case or two of mixed pastries. When they're gone, they're gone.

Oh man that is so cool! What kind of fire was it, do you remember?

geospyder · Post by **geospyder** » Thu Apr 07, 2011 11:08 am

Now that sounds cool and my basket is metal. Hmmmm - and marshmallows don't melt prior to use and no moop from wrapper. If that person is here this year then there will be two of us.

If he's also wearing the same dress, slap him!

Our daughter graduated from a small private school. Graduating class was like 14 kids. Would you believe that our daughter and another girl had the exact same dress? They were both very, very shocked! What are the odds?

Here is the kicker - my wife was into sewing and our daughter picked out a pattern from patterns that my wife already had. Plus she picked out the material from material that my wife also already had. Now - what are the odds?

BTW - I don't wear the same dress twice

Bounce'll prolly know, I remember vaguely it was a real fire, sticks and such.

yep nothing fancy, just a metal bike basket on the handlebars. He had a containment tray on the bottom of the basket for ashes and such, he used firewood for fuel. He also had the baskets that hung over the back wheel, one side had skewers and marshmellows, the other side carried the chocolate.
He did not have rubber grips on the handle bars, and wore gloves and goggles while biking around due to heat, embers and smoke though.

I'm doing "Poopcicles"

Which is really just icey pops to be given out to people waiting in line for a potty.

I'll also be carrying around moisturizing hand sanitizer and sun burn relief spray.

In 2009 I carried the blue sunburn spray around as an after thought and made many people very happy.

Yikes

I guess so! Biking around with a wood fire in your front basket?!?! Even if it was burnt to coals, wowie-zowie! Good for him!

I would think a can of sterno would do the same thing with less mess. Or even use a propane torch or single burner stove. Though I'm sure the ambiance of the actual "campfire" was part of the gift.

edit: While I was writing this, mail delivered a package Trish got through eBay. 50 refillable butane lighters with an LED light which is the same color as the lighter. We plan to gift those, small bottles of Chambord and of course all that Retrofrolic has to offer!

I would like to see more ice cream/otterpops kind of an ice cream truck-kinda MV running up and down the streets.

He deff made lots of people happy with his s'morecycle.

Well, my gift idea does not include being vomited on.

Post by **Sham** » Wed May 18, 2011 6:55 pm

I found a bunch of small flashlights and I'm going to stencil the BM logo on them and make necklaces to offer at the porta potties at night. I think it will be nice to see the shit pyramid before you sit on it!
