Mr Nikki’s birthday is this coming Tuesday. I spent some time wracking my brain about what to get him. This being the first birthday where I’m not working, I feel silly buying him anything. I mean, I still think of it as buying him something with his own money, know what I mean? I’ve gotten over the whole his/our money thing for the most part, but I’m still stuck on this birthday thing.
Luckily, he’s a giant sap. A giant sap who has a favorite superhero (The Green Lantern, of course, because Mr Nikki is OBSESSED with the color green.)
So I thought, why not MAKE everything for him? Well, except for the cupcakes that I’ll be ordering, that is.
As far as he knows, we still haven’t gone through our wedding photos. *I* have, and I managed to find time to get a wedding photo album organized and sent off to Blurb for printing. I’ve also made him a birthday card – I grabbed an image of The Green Lantern online & put Mr Nikki’s head on him. The theme is that, with all he’s done & accomplished the past couple months, he’s our superhero.
Lastly, I had this photo, from our wedding day on the beach, printed out in wallet sizes & 8×10 for framing and, being the sap that he is, I’ll bet you it makes him all teary-eyed & he declares it the best birthday present ever.
what a great picture of you guys! you both look sooo happy!!
Beautiful! And you are so lucky to have an appreciate man. Mine requires little in the material sense too. He teared up at a humble etsy ceramic mug i ordered for him (i love etsy.com!) with a personal note inscribed. This picture is darling and so happy. Make sure you have one framed for your sweet sprout when he’s older- he’ll show it off to his friends:)
oops.. appreciative. I can haz spell check.
