So if you read this blog regularly you might notice I like to make gifts extra awesome. This comes from when I first started dating my husband. I bought him a pool cue for his Birthday and I went to his best friend, Eric’s, house to wrap it. Eric had a few presents for Andy as well. We came to the conclusion that Andy would guess almost immediately what I had bought him from the shape of the gift. Eric and I had the brilliant idea to combine all the presents into one MEGAGIFT. This megagift ended up having the shape of a gnome so we rolled with it.

Andy was exceedingly amused and thus began the yearly wrapping event.

This year I went for a GameBoy theme because I bought him a Supaboy which lets you play SNES games as a handheld system. If I added one more Nintendo thing it would be like a Nintendo Turduken. I use a bunch of foam core, poster board, glue, plastic wrap, paint, and tape.

Here are some pics of the process:

I had a ton of fun building this. I hope it inspires some fun gift art in others. :)

Peanut Likes it too. :)
