the little valentines surprise reveal

sorry it was all cloak and whispers around here yesterday! but i had been planning this little project for the husband for months!


i got the "on-the-hour" downloadable stickers off thirty handmade days.


so every 14th minute on the hour, there was a pressie waiting to be opened!

i thought it would be a nice thing to do because while he sloggin' the day away, we are our having the time of our lives and shopping up a storm. and because he's such a sweetheart!


 i had so much fun buying and putting together everything!! it was filled with daniel's favorite goodies :: his favorite candy, professional cheese grater, a set of spoons he has been looking for since 19 (!), beer mugs, mochi cheesy bites he is obsessed with, bamboo ipad pen, new homey slippers to replace his ratty ones..


 a bottle of bubbly to end the day with.. 

:: the verdict ::
his favorite ::  the pasta machine
least expected :: the spoons

funny fact :: if it were me, i'd totally be opening my presents while taking pictures and have you girlies ooh & ahhh over each item with me. but he opened each of his presents crouched under his desk and giggling delightfully and sending delightful messages to his wife.

project success!!
hope you darlings had a fabulous day celebrating with your lovebugs!!

    indeed! :) i was teasing daniel that its tradition that on white day (march 14) japanese men "pay back" by gifting 3 times as much as they received on valentines!

    in which case, he owes me big time!! :) haha!
