My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

80th Birthday Gift

6 years ago

My best friend's husband celebrates his 80th birthday this week. We've never bought presents for each other's husbands for birthdays but 80 is special. Of course, the party that she was wanting to have isn't going to happen and he is very much into isolation so we can't even go visit with them on their porch.

But I am bringing him a card and a present -- 80 fun size snickers in a big glass canister (it's his favorite candy bar -- all tied up with a ribbon and an 80th birthday card). We'll leave it for him on the porch.

For someone that doesn't really need anything, I love to get them the something that is the same number of their special birthday. And that's usually a favorite snack.

And I will admit that 80 fun size snickers takes up a pretty big glass canister! Way bigger than I ever thought!

Martha
