Brandon's work party is tomorrow and they drew names. Brandon being of the male species...hadn't gotten Jens anything. so i took matters into my own hands:
i just went to the dollar store and found this cute bucket. get it? BUCKet?!?! hahaha. then i got some yellow shredded paper to make it look like popcorn. then i made it over to the candy isle. got 6 or 7 different kids of candy. i was going to put a DVD in there with a pack of microwave popcorn...but i didn't know what movie they'd like. so LUCKILY, every time we go to costco, we buy a pair of movie tickets just to have. i made a card (made brandon write in it) and put the movie ticket vouchers in the card. he wrote "Merry Christmas guys!! hope you have a great time at the movies. Jens, make sure Lynetter brings her big purse when you go."
so instead of a stay in gift, its an all you need is beverages for a night out gift. does this even make sense?
i also made one for my best friend Bobby. everytime i ask him what he wants...he says, "just get me movie tickets"...so...ask and ye shall receive. i was out of fancy gift bags...so i happened to have yellow cellophane wrap...it goes well with the "Popcorn" theme though...
TOTAL COST:
Movie tickets: $16.00 (i think?)
Bucket $1.00
yellow paper $1.00
Candy $5.00-$6.00
