I made this Christmas gift for my husband in our first year of marriage .I didn't have a job, didn't have any money and had to figure something out that wouldn't use his money .I felt it's pointless to use his money to go buy something for him .Besides, he pretty much has everything so I found something sweet and thoughtful that I made for him. Everything on this gift was found in the drawer in my house. I got this idea from some site I was posting but tweaked it around here and there. You could even use this as birthday or anniversary. If I had to redo it, I'd probably not use the rice (It took me a while to color each of them too!) because after so many years,It just looked so bad. Not to mention the glue just started to wear off so the rice disappeared. I'd perhaps fold two swan origami and put them in between of the light bulb.
The message itself is pretty clear. For the heart you're always in,if you don't want to carve a heart shape using a soap,you could find something else that has a heart shape. Hershey chocolate perhaps?
For the mind you're always on, I picked light bulb as a symbol of the light is 'on' thus he's always on my mind.
For the happiness you always bring, I took one of his little bike collection as a symbol because we'd always ride our motorcycle to go sight seeing. The 'moving wheel' of the vehicle symbolized the happiness that he will continue to always bring me.
Have fun and get creative.
