21 Years

Topic of the Day: 21st Birthday

One bad thing about American culture is how much emphasis they put on drinking. As if that's all there is to life. It's a marketing ploy, happy hour after you get off work to 'release' stress you accumulated throughout the day. There are other ways folks. Meet with a group of friends for dinner and laughs seems more appealing to me. 
 
Anyways, a few days ago it was my younger cousin's twenty-first birthday. I tried to look online for gift ideas but unfortunately for me everything revolved around booze. So I put my thinking cap on and came up with something unique: 21 presents for a 21 year old to be!
 
I love adding a little bit of a joke gift in every present I give out. So this time my first present of the twenty-one would be fake alcohol! I wanted to go with a theme as well (like I always do), this time it would be Pink & Turquoise! Flirty and Girly. ;)

Apple Cranberry Sparkling Cider
 
For people that know me personally they know I'm obsessed with scents! Very specific scents though. I worked at Macys and the brand new carpets they had come in I could sniff them all day. The new car smell? AHmazing! Old books that have been shut for years and forgotten? Love it! Yes I'm a weirdo. When it comes to scents that I gift to others I choose something more human like. Unfortunately I forgot to take a picture of the perfume bottle. It was pretty and pink to match with the theme.
 
The other items I got are random smaller pieces to make up the twenty-one gifts.
I also added some food items such as Pringles, Granola Bars and Candy!
(although I didn't take any pictures of them sadly)

These beautiful bracelets are the perfect color! Pink and Turquoise!

 I also got pink nail polish, pink lip gloss, colorful hair bands and pretty earrings!

A pink loofa, pink and turquoise rose socks and a cute little cat mirror!

This candle smells oh so good! I'm going to be going back to get one of my own.

  A few of the candies that I got, tried to stick to the pink color, haha. :)

THE END!
