So this is a post about...

TAMMY'S BIRTHDAY!!!

Her Birthday was on the 29th (Wednesday) and I just wanted to show you guys my gift for her!!

I want to emphasize how important "it's the thought that counts" is to me. 

I like giving things that reminds me of that person~ defines that person~ things that I know the person likes~

or make things!!! 

I LOOOOOVE MAKING THINGS~!!!

Food, toys, random creations... EVERYTHING!!

I'm a really hands on person!

So let me show you my birthday plan and the actual day of Tammy's big day!


...


The Day Before

I was Preparing Tammy's Surprise Bento Box!!!!

Wanna see what I made???



 Here it is!


 *opens*
FIRST LAYER 
 HELLO KITTY RICEBALL (ONIGIRI)
with normal mini mini riceballs on the side!


Zoom Up!

The eyes = seaweed
The nose = cheese
The ribbon = ham

mini mini rice balls!!!
It's like bite sized!!!


SECOND LAYER
UNICORN HAMBURG
WITH 2 HEARTS ON TOP!!!

body = cheese & ham
eyes = seaweed


So this was one of the bento box I made for her!!!

Tammy always told me she loved my bento box that I made her for her birthday last year
AND she told me she loves my okonomiyaki~


Then I didn't have space in the strawberry bento box so had to use another box to put this in!!

So everyone!
I know as we get older, we get more financially comfortable and can buy more expensive things for the people we care about!
BUT!! Always remember that it's never about the price tag.
Because your besties love the effort, love, and thought you put into your presents!!
I know my bestie does :)


...

Have you recently spent time with your bestie?
