THE GIFT STORY

šŸŽTHE GIFT:

The ā€œSmiles on Hand" Gift

My wife has a genius (and thrifty) tradition for ensuring she always has a pick-me-up ready for me. She waits for the discount candy days after Valentineā€™s Day and EasterĀ and she stocks up on my favorite ā€“ Reese's hearts and eggs. She hides them from me, but one always seems to show up when I could use a boost or reminder that sheā€™s awesome ā€“ after a hard day at work, after one of our arguments, etc.
