I enjoy Valentines Day mostly for the candy. Cherry JuJu hearts are the best. But you have to get the Sweets brand. They know how to make candy. I also love the Gobstopper candy hearts, although they are hard to find. I also think Valentines day is mostly a holiday for women. I mean what guy wants roses & heart shaped boxed chocolates. I'm pretty sure I always end up buying Clark candy. Our first Valentines Day way back in 2005 I got Clark cinnamon lips and Bit O Honey {2 of his favorites}. And this year is no different. I did however get a little more creative in my presentation of the candy. I found some ideas on Pinterest here, here, and here. Bless you Pinterest. I would be lost without you. I found the idea to do 14 Days of Valentine's and then I combined all three ideas into things Clark would enjoy. We are both candy lovers, so I don't feel too bad when I always give him candy. I think he enjoys it. And if he doesn't eat the candy, I know I will! Candy doesn't go to waste in our home. It just goes to our waist! {Okay I know I already used that joke over at my "old" blog, but I might have some new readers who didn't get to enjoy my pun the first time around. Also Clark loves "punny" jokes so it felt appropriate since this post is kind of about him}

Starting Friday Clark will get a treat a day. I'm going to be out of town next week so I thought this would be a fun gift that will leave him with plenty of snacks while I'm gone. I'm sure the box of Honey Comb will be his dinner every night. Silly guy doesn't like to cook or eat for that matter. He says he wishes he could be a plant and get his nutrients from the sun. He's crazy. Who doesn't love to eat?! It's a good thing I love him and his craziness.
If you are stumped on what to get that special someone, maybe this "14 Days of Valentine's" will help you out. It starts on Friday so you have 4 days. Hopefully Clark doesn't read this post or his surprise is ruined {I'm pretty sure he doesn't read my blog} Now I have one thing checked off my "to do" list. I better start on the 15+ other things I need to do before I head to Utah on Sunday. Two important things are buying cute plates & napkins for my sister's baby shower & finishing some cute "baby crafts" for her gift. Remember I'm not actually crafty. I'll post some pictures after she actually opens her gift, since I'm sure she is one of my only readers and I want them to be a surprise. Shout Out to my big sis Adrienne, woo woo!
So fun! I did that last year for Tom and he asked if I was doing I again haha it's a lot of work! I tried to put a few dates and activities in there and they all got messed up!
ReplyDeleteWell, you didn't have to worry about me reading your blog and knowing about the baby gifts since I am JUST reading this post now! I LOVE the super cute onesies and burp cloth that you made! I still need to take pictures of all the wonderful gifts I received and put them on MY blog (which I think you are the only reader there too).
