A present every hour

I have actually surprised myself at the fact that I haven't posted anything about my relationship with Wes on the blog up to this point. Normally, I love talking about relationships of all kinds with my friends and coming up with new ideas to make people smile and feel special. Of course, I don't always do this well, but it's definitely a life goal. But this post isn't a collection of genius advice or profound realizations or anything, so don't get too excited now ;)

This guy right here

It was Wes' birthday recently, and when I asked him what he wanted to do to celebrate, he said (I'm not even kidding) "Whatever you want to do!" What a guy. Anyways, since he had no special requests besides that it was low key, I decided to get creative. That's when I remembered an idea I saw a while ago (probably on Pinterest) that seemed perfect...

A present for every hour of his birthday! Each one was individually wrapped and had a little note with the time to open it written on the outside. This was so fun!! I was so excited wrapping them all up the night before - it kind of felt like Christmas ;) 

Inside were all different things (thanks, captain obvious). Some were little treats, and some were 'bigger' gifts like....

• Black liquorice (He LOVES this stuff, you guys)
• This CD (His car was in dire need of some new beats)
• A new book (From my mom, actually...but I take credit for the idea haha)
• Coconut water (Which of all the things, might have been his favourite...crazy kid)
• Some new PJ pants...made by yours truly, but I totally spaced on taking pictures to blog about that project. Blogger fail.

I'll admit it wasn't QUITE one for every hour. I figured that he would go to the gym in the morning and then swing by my house so I planned one every hour from 9 until 3, when I knew he would leave for track practice, and I saved the last bigger gift until after practice when we were going to have dinner. Honestly, I knew he would like it, but I didn't think he would love it as much as he did - he got so excited! It was really fun and I would highly recommend doing this sometime for someone you want to celebrate on their birthday. Who DOESN'T want a gift every hour on their birthday, right?
