Today, I’m going to brag on my husband for a moment. He works so hard for our family to allow me to be a stay at home mom to our kids. He also helps me out whenever I need him to and sometimes when I don’t even ask and I appreciate that so, so, SO much! Since finding out that my back is messed up, he has been even more tentative and hands on than he normally is, especially now that I’m pregnant and he knows I’m in more pain now than when I wasn’t pregnant. He is always making sure I’m okay, doing extra things I ask him to do or that need to be done, rubbing my back, and he’s even given me a few massages without me asking him too! This past year has been hard, but it’s also made me realize how incredibly blessed I am to have such an amazing husband. Now, normally, when I want to show my appreciation for all he does for me and our family, I would get him some form of sweet card and a little something extra. I know he always appreciates every sappy/love card I get him, but truth be told, my husband is a man who likes to laugh.
He’s always making me laugh {it’s one of the things I love about him}, he has the best one liners, and always has hilarious comebacks. I’m always telling him that I wish I could just read his mind for a day because I think I would be spending the whole day in tears from laughter. This time to show my appreciation for all he has been doing, instead of going for my usual sweet stuff, I decided that I’m going to make him laugh this time. I ran to Walmart and grabbed some things to put together this laugh basket for him.
Here is what you’ll need for a laugh basket:
Hallmark BuzzWorthy Cards
Index Cards {at least 15}
Two cans of Silly String
1 can of Frosting
2 Funny shirts
Sharpie Paint Markers
I had a hard time finding exact things I wanted to put in the basket to make my husband laugh. I did find a couple things though while I was at Walmart. I found two shirts that I knew would make him laugh, they sure made me giggle. I picked up some silly string, frosting, and index cards for a few DIY games I put together.
Then, I went over to the card section and picked out two of the new BuzzWorthy Cards from Hallmark because I couldn’t just choose one. People probably thought I was crazy as I was reading the cards and laughing in the aisle. I picked out two that were sure to make Hubby laugh. I really am loving these new cards you should definitely run to Walmart and grab a few!
When I got home, I started putting the basket together and I have to say I love it! Here are some up close pictures of the different things in the basket.
For the DIY games, I just came up with a few sexy/fun things to do with the frosting and silly string! These are very much adult only index cards. You can create your own games or use the ones I have below!
There you have it! My DIY Laugh Basket for my husband! What would you put in a laugh basket for your spouse?!
