Since he lives halfway across the country it's hard to casually find out his wants and needs. For his last few birthdays Hubby Tony and I have sent some type of edible present--chocolates, baked goods, popcorn, or fruit.
This year we wanted to do something extra. It started with a handmade "four
tea" card. After printing out the text, I attached a row of four tea bags to a
piece of card stock.
While I did that Tony went to the store and purchased an Amazon gift certificate. We slid it inside the card, then put the card in an envelope and took it to the post office.
We hope Son Tony can have fun picking out something special.
What a cute idea! I have to think on this as my youngest son will turn 40 on Sept 25.
ReplyDeleteIt also works with some of the other 'zero' milestone birthdays.
DeleteLovely original idea. I'm sure it will make him smile.
ReplyDeleteI actually got the idea decades ago when a friend was celebrating her milestone birthday.
DeleteI love getting gift cards, so hope he will too.
ReplyDeleteWho wouldn't like money to spend?
DeleteWe have a tea shop in Fresno with this as its name. ForTea
ReplyDeleteThat's a cute name.
DeleteI also meant to wish your son a happy birthday as he enters the next decade. The 40s are pretty good, as I remember. Our daughter will be 46 later this year.
ReplyDeleteA great card and gift idea! Happy Big Four Oh to your son!
