Basically, I took an empty Little Debbie Snack Cakes Box (not sure how that happened… ;), and covered it with gift wrap. I cut 8 circles out of colored cardstock with my circle cutter, attached Thickers to spell out “30 sucks!”, and mounted them to the box with some foam adhesive squares. Then, I cut some floral styrofoam to fit the box, lined up and inserted 30 Dum Dum suckers, added some paper crinkle, and I was done! We added $30 in gift cards to the gift, and …voila! 30th birthday, recognized. Hope he likes it! :)
Credits: I saw this idea somewhere online recently, and can’t remember where… so, the concept is not mine, but this particular execution is.
I linked up to these parties here.
...And these, too!
I'm honored to have had this project featured on these sites. Thanks so much!!
The biggest form of flattery I've received on this gift idea? Check out Nina's version here... SO CUTE! :)

So darn clever! I love the way that the suckers evoke some sweet childhood memories, while the message boldly states the truth. I may have to use this idea, although for me and my peers, it's gonna have to read "40 Sucks!" New follower from Tater Tots and Jello. Have a great weekend! Jenn
