Favorite Things Night ended up being so much more than brown paper packages tied up with strings! We had the best time getting together as spouses to celebrate all the wonderful indulgences that make our lives a little brighter, and all in a budget friendly way!
Our evening began with our own Jessica Blake singing the "My Favorite Things" song from The Sound of Music, followed with some of our favorite treats (we had homemade macaroons, popcorn, soda, cookies, dips and so much more!). After we all had our fill of yummy snacks, we began our gift exchange. Everyone that wished to participate brought a wrapped gift containing a gift (valued around $10) filled with something that they considered a "favorite". A volunteer began by picking a gift from the middle, and then the person who brought that gift explained why the item was a favorite thing of theirs, and they proceeded to choose the next gift. We also kept it lively by allowing for gifts to be stolen once!
So many fun things were brought, and we learned so much about one another in the process as well! Hand-stamped jewelry, gift cards, essential oils, favorite treats, fuzzy socks, cozy blankets, chips and salsa...you name it! So many fun gifts to exchange, so much laughter to share, and great relationships built! It was a favorite night for many to be sure!
