The 25 Days of Love Fun - Day 22: I Love You Because Jar

For the last several years I have made the Happy Hubby an I Love You Because Jar for Valentine’s Day!

I just picked up a small glass jar for $1 at Michael’s.

Next I cut out some pink and red construction paper squares.

Then – here’s the super fun part – I thought of 10 reasons why I love my man.

I slipped the papers inside my jar, tied a cute bow around the top, and stuck a glittery heart sticker on top – Voila! A $1 gift that reaped like millions of dollars worth of Happy Hubby Lovin’.

Last year I did a I Love You Because Box because that’s what was in the Dollar Bins at Target.

Some of my favorite notes I wrote…

I love you because you wash your feet every night before bed. (This is funny because he NEVER washes his feet before bed, although I ask him EVERY NIGHT if he has – I am crazy about having clean feet in bed, and he always tells me yes.)

I love you because you laugh at all of my dumb jokes.

I love you because you compliment my cooking with great enthusiasm – even if all I did was pour some prepackaged fajita seasoning on top of steak stir fry.

I love you because you iron.

I love you because you somehow manage to be the greatest worship pastor, seminary student, Dad, best friend, and hubby a girl could ever ask for!

The last couple of years I invited some friends over to make I Love You Because Jars with me. It was so fun sitting around talking lovely things about our Happy Hubbies and being intentional about making something to bless them.

I supplied the jars (this year I picked up Valentine Chinese Takeout Boxes), some construction paper, and a few pages of Valentine stickers and we all got to work.
