Holiday procrastination
Well, here I am procrastinating when I should be finishing my holiday gifts. Of course this time it is forced procrastination (sort of). Ron needed a gift for the holiday party tomorrow, and here I am, making it happen.
He has a limit of $20. We got 20 $1 scratch lotto tickets. Now, how to wrap them? We went through all kinds of ideas:
- Put them with another gift (coffee mugs and flavored coffee, candles, etc)
- Wrap each one individually and put them in a gift basket
- Put them in a gift card box or money card
But nothing sounded good. So I was looking for wrapping ideas down in the basement, where all the wrapping items are, and ran across an old audio tape. The lottery tickets are the perfect size to fit in the case, as long as the spindle thingies are removed. So, I broke out the spindle thingies, put the lotto tickets inside, put a label on the back (so you can’t readily see the tickets) and made it look like an old mix-tape from the 80′s and 90′s. Names of the songs? (REALLY corny!!!)
