Now that school is out and summertime has begun, it’s officially strawberry season. Grab your best friend, a few bowls of fresh strawberries (in margarita form maybe?), and enjoy the summertime sunshine. Add to the occasion by telling them how special they are to you with a little strawberry gift basket.
I don’t know about you, but I always have a bunch of these little strawberry baskets hanging around my house. I’ve been collecting them for a while now, telling my husband that I’ll find something to do with them. “Don’t Throw Them Away!” (This is my second life motto). Well, after over a year, I finally found something to do with them. There’s no stopping me now.
Note: In case you’re not a hoarder like I am, just visit the farmer’s market and pick up some fresh berries, you’ll be sure to get your own basket.
Once you’ve got your strawberry basket, add a little shredded fluff, and fill in with whatever Strawberry items you can find. Print the tag here, the individual strawberry here, and tie onto the basket. You’ll have a fun little summertime gift basket for your friends!
Today marks the start of my husband’s thirty-sixth year on this planet. I thought I’d give him a little birthday shout-out for being such an amazing husband, and an even better best friend. So because he is Berry Special to me (see what I did there?), this post is dedicated to him. Unfortunately, he didn’t get the gift basket, those went to my lady friends. Sorry babe, you’ll get your gift later, I promise.

Wishing your hubster belated birthday wishes 🙂 Incidentally, this is my birthday month too! 😀 But I am not so “berry” excited about the soon approaching 30s :\ Thankfully this one is not my 30th 😀 But they say 30s are the new 20s so I am all game for it 😉
P.S. – Still chuckling at “Don’t Throw Them Away” being your second life motto 😉 Which makes me curious. What is the first? 😀 This would be in my top 10 life mottos for sure 😀

Hahaha don’t worry about your 30s, they’re not so bad (I’m two years in). I definitely think it’s been the best stage of my life so far, so I say approach it with excitement! And my first life motto is “It’s the thought that counts.” – I am always saying it in my posts so I thought I should change it up a bit. Hahaha! 🙂
Minaxi says
Heehee. Oh yes, I remember you saying that 😀
And thanks for cheering me up about 30s 😛 I needed that <3 <3 Love your take on the 30s.. 🙂
