Styled a shimpuku for a Christmas gift

[Beanwagon]

My girlfriends dad wanted a bonsai for christmas. He is a conplete novice. I picked up a shimpaku/pot and gave it its 1st styling and repotted it. Thoughts?

....thinking of keeping it to myself.

Well now that you put it out there for the world to see...I guess it a gift. How do I get on your gift list?

Not the best list to be on.....

I'm not letting my daughter get shot with the DC for a shimpaku!
