Giving Joy

My twin cousins turned the big 3-0 this year and I put together a little something special for them (remember, I’m trying to be more thoughtful?). I got the idea from my friend Katie and had to tweak her bouquet of suckers so I could ship something to Michigan.

Here’s what you need:

• Candy suckers (any kind of sucker will do, I chose a variety)
• Scrap paper

Add the note “30 Sucks” or “30 Blows” (if using just blow-pops) and you’re done. Don’t forget to add a little “just kidding” on the back of the card since this is more of a ‘gag’ gift!

Hope you like!

Sometimes I feel like the queen of last minute. Or, at least lately I do.
I’ve been late on birthday gifts, bridal shower gifts, housewarming gifts, and so on.

I had a little post bridal shower dinner planned with a girlfriend and hit up Bed, Bath & Beyond the night before. See what I mean?

Well, I went through what was left of their registry and tried to get my creative juices flowing.
So… I came up with this: Breakfast in Bed for the Happy Couple!

It included:

• Breakfast serving tray (Bed, Bath & Beyond – wrapped separately)
• “Breakfast in Bed” Breakfast Blend for Keurig (Bed, Bath & Beyond – they registered for it)
• “Bed & Breakfast” Blueberry Pancake Mix (Home Goods)
• Two Coffee Cups (Home Goods)
• Flower

Maybe it’s been done before, but I was pretty proud of it.
