    Hey Kim,

    I was looking for a special (especially hand-made) birthday gift idea for my fav person. Your pretty post enlightened my thoughts of preparation. Pizza is always with us but chocolate covered pretzels! My husband’s going to love them.
    I’m thinking to complete this relaxing/fun evening with a mini key holder which is engraved `pls drive safe, I need you here, with me♡”.

    Thanks for the nice idea!
