Today was (Darrin’s cousin) Vedra’s birthday and so we went over to her house to give her the box. I put 2 bags of Hershey’s Kisses, 2 different flavors inside the box. I know 1 flavor was peanut butter but the other was truffle creme with dark chocolate or something like that, I forgot what the name was lol. Anyway, she loved it.
I went to Walgreen’s and bought one of their ready-made gift bags with the ribbon on the front and the different color tissue paper inside to match the bag color. Then I came home and took the tissue out and put the box inside of it then tucked it back into the bag. Then of course I put the card in there too.
When she pulled the tissue paper out of the bag with the box in the paper then she peeled away the tissue the expression on her face was priceless. She goes “OH NO!!!” hehe. Oh No meaning I can’t believe you got me this, I love it. I know Oh No usually doesn’t sound good but in this case I could interpret it hehe.
She looked at every inch of it and was just in love with the design and the paint job and her name being on the top. She was really happy so that is all that counts.
Here is my original post with the video of the box on YouTube:

Well, now that I know what kind of reaction she gave me I think I’m going to go back to Michael’s for more boxes from here on out until December buying up as many boxes as I can afford to make boxes for everybody for Christmas 2009 lol. Well, not just boxes lol.
I got a very cool surprise in the mail today. @IZEA the company that pays me to tweet and blog sent me this very cool swag bag. The Unicorn is very cool, I will probably keep it as is on display. The swag bag had all this candy that I shouldn’t be eating anyway, but I enjoyed a few pieces anyway. Pixie sticks, Wonka’s Fun Dip and Sweet Tarts Hearts, Hershey’s Kisses, chocolate hearts, Tootsie Rolls and I don’t even know what else. There was also a neat heart-shaped eraser with a smiley face and a heart-shaped stress ball with the @IZEA logo on it.
