a gift
Seriously.
What do you give to the man who has everything? Or the man who doesn’t want or need what you give him, so he throws it away. Yeah. It’s like that.
And this year was a special milestone for the man born on 5.5.55. A member of the 5th generation. Born on the 5th day of the week. Who has 5 children. And turned 55 this year. Oh! and tends to play 5 red in Vegas! ;)
Anyway, the pressure for something special was on.
Handmade and sentimental was definitely the way to go this year!
We all wrote little sentiments on index cards … 55 of them in total … and rolled them up and put them into a special birthday jar.
I modged podged some gift wrap to the jar {double-sided taped it first}, made a little tag and we were off to the races.
He loved it, the girls loved doing it, and it’s sitting proudly in the kitchen where he “unwraps” one sentiment for 55 days.
A definite hit this year!

I LOVE IT!!! The perfect gift for him!
What a great idea! Jon just recently regifted something to me that I gave him. I’ll have to start thinking of gifts to give him that I want! :)
great idea! I was going to do that for Mother’s Day for my mom last year, but we never committed to writing all of the cards. Great for Curt!
This beats any material gift you could have given… what an awesome idea! I will probably be stealing this idea from you! ; )
Better than anything you could buy! :)
