Didn't you do 30 gifts for J's 30th birthday? Or am I thinking of someone else?

FF will be 27 next month (three days before I turn 28) and I think it would be fun to do 28 gifts for him. What types of things did you get for J?

Re: :: Paige ::

  • So funny you asked this today.  I was just thinking the other day that I want to do this for Larry's 30th birthday next year!
  • I did! It was so fun... it was tough to come up with everything but it was fun! I wrapped everything individually

    Let's see what I can remember...

    5 gift certificates from restaurant.com
    Boxers
    A Car Puzzle ('69 Camaro of course)
    a few t-shirts
    a couple dvds
    A giant cookie (I think that was his fav thing of all!)

    I got the idea from a friend things I know she included were :
    30 toothpicks tied up with a ribbon (the kind you get at a restaurant in a wrapper - yep she stole them haha)
    Socks (wrapped by the pair)
    his fav kind of coffee

    other ideas:
    Startbucks/DunkinDonut GC
    itunes GC
    books
    tickets to an event

    Groupon may be a good place to look for things
     

    Have fun with it! Let me know what you come up with.

    Side note I was going to ask when your B-day is but then I remembered... same day as my BFF!


  • Oooh, these are fun ideas!!! I imagine I can go to TSC and get some John Deere items Wink

    I also saw online they have "_____ of the Month" gifts and they had a microbrew of the month and a hotsauce of the month gift -- two of his favorite things! Those were kind of pricy, so I might only do like a 3-month gift. But that would be fun to put in the basket!

    I feel like I owe him a fun, creative and thoughtful gift since he bought me a DSLR!

  • Also, how did you package it? Was it in one big box or did you give him each individually wrapped gift separate? I bet he had a blast opening them all!

  • I wrapped everything individually so he had 30 boxes to open. :) Sounds like you have some great ideas already!
