Mr. Todd Lee Sappee is buzzed over the intercom and notified by his secretary that he has a delivery waiting at the front desk. Knowing full well what day is it, he bounces from his chair and skips down the hall towards the super special surprise waiting for him. Behind him, he leaves his bewildered boss, Mrs. U. R. Krazee mid-drone about the latest security software downloads.
Mr. Sappee can't get there fast enough. He daydreams about what it will be. Will it be a dozen long stem rozes? A fuzzy little teddy bear holding a box of chocolates bearing the inscription 'Be My Valentine?' Will it be a singing telegram with a fist full of balloons?
He finally arrives at his destination, sees the carefully constructed floral arrangement and squeals with delight. Snatching the card, he reads it aloud and then calls his mother, sister, and all his friends from golf league to tell them all about it...every detail. Beaming, he returns to his office and can barely focus for the rest of the day as he mentally plans his outfit and hairstyle for his date that evening.
Sound like anyone you know? Didn't think so. Ladies go for this stuff, but dudes?...not so much.
Because of this, Valentine's Day generally eludes me. I'm not always sure what my husband would like for a gift. I do know, however, that he loves candy.
Loves. Candy.
So this year, his Valentine's Day gift is different, fun and definitely super cheesy. I'm sure he'll love it!
With a piece of poster board, super glue, a black Sharpie and a whole bunch of candy, you too, could give a loved one a candy-gram. Basically, walk the candy aisle and find treats you could use in a sentence. For example, 'I sure do love you and our little SUGAR BABIES.' Or, 'I sure SKORed when I married a BIG HUNK like you!.
I had a lot of fun with this project which is sure to elicit a happy smile from my man.
On another note, I have two sons...neither of which would probably want to hand out pink hearts or doillies and are tired of the same old boxed Bakugan or Batman valentine cards. This year, we did something a bit different. I saw it on-line and thought it was a brilliant idea.
Construction paper, lollipops, a glue stick and my handy dandy black Sharpie created these little cuties.
Cheers to you this Valentine's Day and may you feel as loved as Mr. Todd Lee Sappee did.
You had too much fun this Valentines Day! Love you!
