Room Service Please!

Who doesn’t love room ser­vice? When I think of relax­ation and some­thing spe­cial, I think room ser­vice. While wait­ing to have a nice hot meal deliv­ered to your door, you can be watch­ing re-runs of Sein­feld on your dreamy bed. It’s my love of this lux­ury that made me think of my lat­est gift creation.

“Room ser­vice please” is what I’m call­ing this cus­tomized gift that is per­fect for so many occa­sions, such as an anniver­sary or a new baby arrival. Basi­cally you’re giv­ing some­one the gift of a home­made meal deliv­ered to their front door. Since pre­sen­ta­tion is every­thing, so they say, I’ve pro­vided some ideas and free down­loads so you can give that per­fectly wrapped present!

What to do:

• Pur­chase a con­tainer whether it be a casse­role dish or a cute pot. Be sure it is some­thing that will store your meal.
• Get rib­bons, twine, a unique pen­cil, mini clothes­pins, fresh herb cut­tings, etc…to wrap up your pack­age. (see photos)
• Fig­ure out what din­ner options you’d like to offer. Then go to my free down­load below and cus­tomize yours. Name your “restau­rant” some­thing clever. It was my friends 11th wed­ding anniver­sary so I called it, “Bistro Eleven”.
• To make your door hanger I have also pro­vided a free down­load below for your con­ve­nience. You just need to fill in the blanks.

Tips:

For the gift I gave, I required 48 hours notice to be given. I also requested for them to put the door hanger on my door with their order filled out. Have them drop the dish off at this time as well. If you pre­fer, you could have them put it on their door and ask that they shoot you a text when they do. (this really only will work well if you live close to one another) If you think this would be an incon­ve­nience, you can have instruc­tions on the door hanger or menu that tells them to e-mail you their order for example.
