What Candy Says Chocolates – Love! Will Repurchase Again!

Hey guys! I know this isn’t technically the post I was suppose to post today. And I feel bad for not getting out what I had sent in the email. By they way, if you haven’t signed up for my email newsletter, sign up now! I try to send out updates about my blog any other things that I believe is good to share. Like this post here, I actually already told my email group about this, but it was so good I had to share on my blog.

My husband and I recently had our 8 year anniversary, March 28th. We have been together for 5 years before marriage and married for 3 this coming July. This year I wanted to do something unique for our anniversary.

I honestly don’t even remember how I found this company on Etsy, but I am so thankful I did. It is the company called, “What Candy Says.” They make small square chocolates that you can put letters on and pretty much spell anything.

I ordered one that said “Happy Eight Years.” It even had jelly beans inside the chocolate. I actually didn’t know that until I bit into one. Silly me apparently didn’t read all the details. But that doesn’t matter, because the chocolate was DELICIOUS!

Here is a quick list of my Pros and Cons:

Pros– delicious! Absolutely yummy chocolate

– Packaging was great

– 3 free small samples with my order

– 3 cute post cards with stamps!

– Shipped in a timely manner

– They work with you to get what ever you want the candy to say

  – Will repurchase from this company again

Cons – I really did not have any complaints, highly impressed. However, it is a little on the pricey side. My order was $36 including shipping.

Y’all I know, this doesn’t have really anything to do with Fashion, but what fashion lover doesn’t also love chocolate? Also since I was so pleased with this purchase/ company, I had to share it with my blog.

So if you are looking for a unique gift, definitely go check out this store on Etsy. I plan on ordering a graduation gift and future birthday gifts from here.

Cheap, Simple Birthday Ideas – Post-it Note Decorations, Surprises, & Dollar Store Ideas

Hey guys!!

My husband’s birthday is tomorrow. Happy Birthday babe! If you are actually reading this. 😉 My husband will be turning 27 tomorrow. I can’t believe we have celebrated every birthday together since we were 19, we are getting old. 😉

Birthdays have always been a big thing with my family. Ever since I was little. Maybe it is a southern tradition?

Birthdays involve your favorite food whether at home or at a restaurant, cake, friends, gifts, and usually a couple of surprises. And that all can get expensive.

My husband and I really try to budget our money and by doing that sometimes we have to get creative. So here are my Cheap Simple Birthday Ideas.

– Make you own birthday card. Sometimes those cards can get real expensive and often times we end up throwing them away. That’s why I suggest making your own, whether by hand or using a computer. One time I found a cute card on Etsy, I don’t remember the catch phrase on it, but it was something about espresso. 😉 Anyway I thought it was silly to order that card online, so I decided to make it myself. Sure it in no way looked perfect, but my husband loved it. And that’s all that matters.

– Candy – My husband is not much of a cake guy but he loves candy, any kind. So I have gotten a 3-5 dollar bag of candy and surprised him with candy all over the house. BONUS I got to eat some while doing the job! 😉

– Starbucks Surprise – I have done this even when it’s not his birthday and it just cheers up his day. Just get their favorite drink and surprise them at work with it. Also usually if you use the Starbucks app, you get a free drink on your birthday!

– Buy balloons at dollar store – SO MUCH CHEAPER!

– My last and favorite thing is with Post-it Notes. I don’t even remember how I came up with this, but my family has done this idea ever since I was little. While my husband was at work, I put Post-it Notes all over the house to surprise him.

Here are some of the examples I used:

On his pillow – Happy Birthday to my Snuggle Partner

On the top of the toilet (which actually made him laugh) – Happy Birthday to my Plumber

On his laptop – Happy Birthday to my Tech Expert

Next to our keys – Happy Birthday to my Mechanic

On our TV – Happy Birthday to my Netflix Buddy

On the Fridge – Happy Birthday to my Candy Lover (there was a stash of candy waiting for him, when he opened it.)

Next to our picture – Happy Birthday to my Best Friend.

Birthdays do not always have to be expensive; sometimes the small simple things mean more in life. Hope this gives you ideas for making someone’s birthday special!
