One agreement Kevin and I made was that we would not make a big deal out of Valentine’s Day. It would be a fun day that we shared with each other with a dinner that we both enjoyed. We would perhaps get each other something, but there were no requirements about flowers or big gifts. Of course, we both enjoy giving things to each other; but we sometimes just do this for the fun of it. So why should Valentine’s Day be any different?
We came out a bit ahead this month, so I decided to shop for his gift on Amazon. I could not believe the things I found. Amazon is where you go to buy things to have on hand for rainy days down the road… If you tried it once in a local store and then never found it again, you’ll find it on Amazon. So I looked for mint M&Ms–and not only did I find them, but I found them in dark chocolate and in a bulk pack. He’ll be eating mint M&Ms until his birthday.
I had to tell him that he would have found my gift if he knew such a thing existed. We laughed and wondered whether M&M is trying to emulate Godiva. I had stumbled on Raspberry Dark Chocolate M & M’s
I’ll let you know how M&Ms is doing at capturing my heart.
