Coffee & Writing

Can you keep a secret? I know only a handful of people read my blog. I know my family certainly doesn’t, so I know I can tell you.

You must know this part first. I have a brother, sister-in-law, and neice who live in the next city over. His other daughter just had a baby. Normally, my other neice and her husband would travel to be with my brother and her mother for Christmas, but, rightfully so, they want their child’s first Christmas to be at home. So, they will all be traveling to where they live.

Obviously, I will not be going with them, because it’s a family affair, but I have a family affair of my own.

Here’s the secret, I got all of the people traveling to the other visit the new baby, the same thing, but each are personalized. I got them all Rubik’s Cubes.

Here’s what’s even better I put all of them in red unmarked boxes, so everyone has to figure out whose belogs to whom.

Now, if they dared to take it apart, I have also included this in their box (even though it was a tight fit).

I got all of these off of Etsy from TeriCraftsShop, which I highly recommend. He has great prices and great customer service. There is a sale until December 16. And I highly recommend taking advantage of it.

Some people have extra things in their boxes. I have made it clear that they all must open them together. I wish I could see them open it, but the fact I know they will enjoy it is good enough for me.

So, that’s my big secret. Well, there is a little bit more to the secret, but I’ve already said too much!
