Another Old Person

For her 40th birthday, we sent Stacey one big box with 40 little boxes of gifts inside.  It took her a good while to open them all, but she got it done (despite her old hands and “elderly attitude”).

Congratulations Stacey – you are 480 months, 2080 weeks, 14610 days, 350640 hours, 21038400 minutes, 1262304000 seconds old.

Here is our evidence of the preparation:

Note – If you click on a photo, you’ll enter “slide-show mode”, which you may or may not like better..

This is a stack of “flat-pack” boxes. You fold these up to get a box (in this case, 3″ x 2″). We bought 40 of these.

Filling the boxes – assembly line

Yep…more boxes

We numbered each box (Marti was in charge…numbering was mandatory) and added a few digs.

Boxes loaded and ready for labeling.

Many well labeled boxes

Fixodent – it’s for old people – Stacey is old. So…Stacey got fixodent.

DQ Gift Card

Salon Gift Certificate

40 pennies – helping the old person keep her cents about her.

Candy…everyone loves candy

Bounce it…it flashes. She ‘s entertained by very simple toys. This is hours of fun.

Hankys – she’s a snot;)

Just an empty box with confetti in it & a “gotcha” sign.

Reading Glasses

Corn pads

Self explanatory

Why not…

It was this, or a sticker book.

Tea lights with twinkle-lights. She likes flashing lights.

Why not buy a dress from a large building designed to contain fully mature bovine. That doesn’t sound like a bad thing…

We hope if she stops hurting, she won’t cry as much.
