Picture blanket
My friend Nancy is turning 60 in a few days so we had a surprise Zoom party for her. Another friend collected and modified pictures of Nancy w/ her 'Green Bay Packer's' wristwatch, four friends together, Nancy and her husband on chairlift, and Nancy happy to be on a trip in the great outdoors. She had them transferred onto a blanket. I stopped by the Dollar Store and picked up some pretty cheesy birthday stuff - sash, name tag, crown, and noise makers. (The cashier asked if my granddaughter was having a birthday. First time I have been referred to as someone old enough to have grandchildren so that bummed me out for awhile.) Then picked up a piece of carrot cake, a diet coke, and birthday paper plate and napkins. Placed the folded blanket w/ a card in the bottom of the box. On top of that all the rest of the stuff and lastly tied a helium balloon to a weight and put those things in last. When the box was opened, the balloon should float up and out first. I contacted Nancy's husband and transferred the box to his car this morning. She was indeed surprised on the Zoom meeting tonight and was a good sport to wear the sash, crown, and name tag. However, I think we might have made her cry a little when she saw the pictures on the blanket.

A creative way to celebrate Nancy's birthday when you can't get together in person. Sounds like you all had fun.
