I know Valentine’s Day was so last week, but I wanted to show you what I made for hubs since it’s an easy and extremely inexpensive gift that you can make for anyone.
For anyone new stopping in, hubs is a first year medical student, and as you can probably guess, it’s extremely intense.
Throughout the day, he could have as many as ten different emotions from being excited about a class to being exhausted to feeling like he’s not good enough to being on cloud nine. It really is quite the roller coaster.
So, I made him a stack of 100 funny, silly, or uplifting quotes for him to take out and look at if he’s ever feeling down. I punched holes in the corner of each one and wrote something on them with a simple red pen:
Oh, and p.s. this gal didn’t go home empty handed. I was super surprised by my Valentine’s Day gift, a pair of really sparkly black Toms. Hubs had them shipped to my parent’s house, and they brought them down to Grenada when they visited. That took a lot of planning on his part and showed that he listened when I said I needed shoes to wear to work (I had lots of flip flops). I was really touched by the effort!
Have a great weekend everyone!
This is adorable. =)
One of hub’s Christmas gifts to me this year was the same type: he gave me “Brian doesn’t use his computer for a day” coupons, since I often joke that the computer is his other wife. It made me laugh a lot. =)
Sounds like such a lovely Valentine’s Day!
Such a sweet idea! My love language is definitely words so I would love to give or gift something like that! My hubby and I are big on post it notes…leaving little notes of encouragement to each other around the house. Eventually we take them down and I put them in a fun little scrapbook! 🙂
