Sweet Gift Idea
What do you do with all that left over Halloween candy? Here is a sweet gift idea.
My poor hubby severed his Achilles tendon playing soccer. He’s in a cast and crutches for six weeks and will be in a boot for another six weeks after that. Needless to say, it makes his life a lot tougher.
To make his life a little less miserable, without a thought, I knew exactly what would make him much happier… SWEETS. So I decided to surprise him and leave one treat with a note with candy sayings in his work bag every day for several weeks.
I made the note from his daughter. Here are the quotes for candy I put on this sweet gift idea.
- Mini Chips Ahoy Cookies – For our own special ‘COOKIE’ monster!
- Butterfinger – We love you so much “BUTTERFINGERS” won’t count that high!
- Kit Kat – Daddy, we don’t ever want a break from you!
- Snickers – Daddy, we love how you make us laugh and “SNICKER”!
- Junior Mints – Daddy, you are worth a “MINT”!
- Peanut M&M’s – We’re “NUTS” about you!

- Rice Krispies Treat – I think it’s a “TREAT” that you’re my Daddy!
- Peanut Butter M&M’s – Daddy, we think you’re Magnificent and Marvelous!

- Milky Way – Daddy, we think you are out of this world!
