Today is my dad’s birthday!
He is the big 7-0 today!!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DAD!
I saw the most fun birthday package surprise a couple month’s ago over at my friend, Katherine Marie’s blog. If you have not been to her blog yet, you must give yourself an afternoon….or a long night after the littles go to bed…and just enjoy. She is amazing!
I thought I would do a similar package for my dad. He is so hard to shop for ya know! And well, I hear that grandparents love anything made by their grandchildren 😉
My dad is allergic to dark/milk chocolate *gasp* who knew that allergy even existed, am I right? So I thought it would be fun to send him 70 hugs using Hershey’s seasonal white chocolate and peppermint hugs.
I had the kids come up with a list of 70 things that ‘Grandpa Marc is’ and then had Noah and Penny write them all out. It was like a homeschool lesson and a gift all in one! Penny even helped me hot glue the hugs to the pennants. It truly was a grandchild-made gift straight from their loving minds and hands 🙂
What a great idea! I may have to steal this for my mom’s 80th birthday next summer! I’ll bet your dad loved it!
Thank you, Debi! It was so fun and easy to do…my dad absolutely loved it too!!
hip hip hooray for a BIRTHDAY kinda day!!!! My mom saved her little notes after she ate the chocolates… so hopefully this is the kind of gift that can be priceless for years to come. LOVE ya! xoxoxoxo
Katherine Marie…you are so amazing!! My dad absolutely adored this gift!!! It was the perfect thing for him…and my kids had so much fun making it for him!!! You are the bestest!!!!!!
Hugs,
Maggie
This is such a lovely idea Maggie! Finding gifts for parents/Grandparents is always challenging, but this is perfect!
Thank you, Melanie! The kids had so much fun doing this and my dad really liked it…such a win/win!!! Hope you have a great day!
XOXO,
Maggie
