Quick & Easy: Gift For “Old” People …

My amazingly talented, totally narcassistic, rockstar-hair wearing Photobro turned the big 4-0 last week.  I had to do something to let him know I was thinking about him, but really it was about letting him know he is now ancient. I can do that because I have exactly one year and twenty-one days until I turn forty. Then forty will, of course, become the new young and I will embrace it gracefully.

For now, I hopped over to HomeGoods {heaven help my "spend less" soul} and found two jars for $2.99 each. They had to be streamlined and somewhat masculine for my stylistically snooty bro. I then filled them with forty lollipops and forty gumballs respectively and attached my self-made labels - "40 Blows" for the gumballs and "40 Sucks" for the lollys.  A little black and gray ribbon was the finishing touch to mourn the passing of his youth.

It put a smile on the old guy's face and made him laugh heartily.

I find great joy in life by helping the aged and decrepit to find happiness occasionally. Mission accomplished. {But he might have to remove his dentures to eat either one- the geezer.}
