Challenge 2

You all know that Valentine’s Day is coming up. Your challenge (if you choose to accept it) is as follows: Create a Valentine’s themed gift bag/basket consisting of (useful) items that you obtain at either the Dollar Store OR Five Below OR the dollar aisle at Target. Everything from the container to the tissue paper you use for “fluff” must come from one of those two places (or your own personal stash if you’re that organized . . . Kris!) You don’t have to go to the Dollar Store™, it can be any dollar store you like (Dollar General . . . I don’t know the names of any others, but you get the idea!) No buying random cr*p that nobody in their right mind will have a use for, but get as creative as you can.

Buying for a newly married couple? 5 Below has “cooking for 2” cookbooks. One of those and two champagne flutes and some chocolate . . . good to go!

Buying for someone who loves to be outdoors? Valentine's flip flops, a book on grilling and maybe a valentine themed bag that can be used as a pool/beach bag this summer.

Be creative, have fun and be sure to have your gift delivered by Friday the 13th . . . oohhh, spooky! If you receive a gift this Friday, be sure to post in our blog – (come see me if you need help with this . . . please bring your computer!)
