What's a good homemade summer time gift?

I was just recently asked," What's a good summer time gift?" When I think of summer, I think of watermelon. It's the official summer time fruit! These hand painted watermelon flower pots are really cute and very easy to paint. What a great gift to give someone for a housewarming or a hostess gift? In fact, my children painted these for their grandmas for Mother's Day. Both Grandmothers LOVED them! You can add whatever flowers you like to the pots. I'm a petunia girl so I made sure to put those in, but I also added some marigolds and some ivy as well.
