Nobody Does It Better...

NOBODY is better at Valentine's Day than Justin.

Nobody.

I accepted defeat from our first Valentine's Day together eight years ago.  Every year he completely surprises me.  And EVERY year I end up looking like a complete schmuck.

Clearly, the secret to successful gifting is knowing your target. 

Case in point...

Squib valentines...immediately showered upon them as the conquering hero walked through the door this evening.

Pudge was gifted with chocolates and sour heart candies and...

...a musical card blaring the tune "I Want Candy"...

...that immediately had her dancing out of her pants.

And, for the Biggs?

Yup.  It's a Happy Birthday card....

...AND it's upside down...

...AND you're NOT getting it away from him.  He's had a white knuckle grip on that Mickey Mouse Clubhouse card since he pulled it out of the envelope.

But the mark of a TRUE Valentine-gifting aficionado?

For Biggie's sweet treat?

An unopened pack of bright red tissue paper.

The man is GOOD, ladies and gentlemen.

He outdoes me EVERY year.

And every year...


...I'm the happiest loser you ever saw.

  10. How thoughtful! Can Darin take lessons or do you think that this is just an innate talent to be able to give the most thoughtful gifts ever?
