Great if you're married to a dentist,Candy Bouquets are really catching on, according to Entrepreneur magazine. A new kind of gift basket that I'd like to get, for sure!

No horsin' around now: if you love animals, you might appreciate this business opportunity: Anivac. In other words, animal vacuum! Sounds funny but it really is one of those "Why didn't someone think of this sooner?" ideas, as they say. This is one of those businesses where your services, once acquired one time, would grow in demand, quickly. Horses can be washed in cold weather with only a gallon of water. Your market could be farmers, vets, and places that give horse riding lessons. (Uh, I'm sure there's a name for this....) But, of course, it's not just for horses. This franchise comes with a low investment.
