Valentine's Care package

My soldier's Valentine's AND birthday care package will be in the mail tomorrow morning. Tisha left a comment asking me what I sent him for Valentine's Day.

Its pretty disgustingly sweet, I wanna warn ya...

Valentine's Day:

  • A heart of Ferrero Rocher hazelnut chocolates (Yum. Hope they travel well.)
  • A tiny book of quotes called "I love you madly"
  • A big stuffed bulldog in a bandana and black leather jacket. A patch on the jacket says "I Wuff You" (I warned you!)
  • The girls made him a craft heart and butterfly
  • A silly pen with a heart at the end that lights up and says "Be Mine"
  • A sexy card
  • A special piece of clothing that smells like me. Yeah. I know.
  • I also sprinkled rose petals in the box

For his birthday (a few days before Valentine's Day):

  • A giant tin of home baked chocolate chip cookies (that he keeps reminding me to send)
  • A video movie of naughty photos that I took just for him. Yeah. I know. (hee hee!)
  • Happy Birthday blowouts
  • A big balloon centerpiece
  • Happy Birthday napkins
  • A silly card
  • Something for his desk with a photo of me, each of the kids and one of all of us. We then were able to record a message on each photo. The kids enjoyed singing Happy Birthday - he'll love that. I recorded myself singing "Happy Birthday" a la Marilyn Monroe.

I also included a few items that he needed and had asked for. I sent a disposable camera too. Hope he can take some pics for me!

I realize some of this is silly and stuff he doesn't need but I hope it will bring a smile to his face. I also want him to know how special he is to me.

I'm sure he has some idea.

  1. Wow. Great lists. I'm speechless. I need to pick it up and do some of that for Paul! :) I'm sure he knows what a fab girl he has waiting and rooting for him. xoxo!

  2. Hmmm, I think he knows how you feel. Great packages, mixing the silly, naughty and nice things. How they couldn't bring a smile to his face, I don't know!
