My nephew had a birthday and of course I was super late and couldn't think of anything fun or cool and finally decided that we would mail him a complete birthday wrapped up in a box. I gathered a small box, a couple of gifts that would fit, a tiny homemade birthday banner, loads of confetti, a few not-yet-blown balloons, and even a little "cake" ( I thought about a candle but figured it might melt). Then I tied it all up with twine, because boxes look so great with twine.
We also added a quick little card to the front. Now I can't stop thinking about birthdays in boxes and all of the different combinations/themes/colors. Just think. A birthday in a box for a little girl with sparkly pink things... one for a friend with lip gloss, earrings and lotions... or a new baby "birth"day in a box with a newspaper clipping from that day, a binkie, maybe a fun onesie, some hand sanitizer...etc. Oh the possibilities.
We gave him a small airplane/glider kit and a pack of gum (since kids always love gum).
I secretly wish I was related to you so I could receive such cool and thoughtful gifts! Might have to steal this one for my niece and nephew who live in Washington!?!?
ReplyDeleteHave you ever considered doing a show like Martha Stewart or Rachael Ray? We'll call it, "Lou's Shoes, Glues, & Other Views". You'd put them BOTH outta business in ONE DAY!! Your family is lucky to have you. :)
ReplyDeleteAwesome gift!! I love the gum idea :O)

ReplyDeleteI am always confused for choosing a theme for my little one's birthday party and it always makes me scratch my head. Can you suggest me something about this? Manhattan Wrongful Death Lawyer
