Today (in the midst of a work chat) I was slyly slipped a small metal gift box from my dear and wildly thoughtful friend Lunchbox (aka Emily, superstar friend). Inside was a note informing me to put aside the common one day birthday hooray and begin celebrating NOW (two months ahead of schedule) and all summer long! Shocked and pleased to receive such early birthday tidings and a suggestion to lather on sunblock and race out the door to commence festivities for the departure of my 20s, I could barely respond when I encountered another surprise on my doorstep. A homemade Instruction Manual with 29 pages of merrymaking ideas accompanied by a box overflowing with numbered newspaper-wrapped objects. A personalized guide and corresponding playthings to aid in my quest to “scrap my 20s” in blowout fashion!
What a fantastic gift – methods and means to have fun on a whim – as if to say, we age every day, why not celebrate?!
Lunchbox packs summer birthday fun! (Much love and thanks to Emily for this amazing gift!)
