My husband’s birthday was last week. This year I bought him non-tangible gifts for his birthday, with only a computer screen and sheets of paper to announce his presents – a painting class, an upgrade to Pandora, and a Groupon coupon for go-karting with a friend. I wanted a creative way to present his gifts. The kids bought Brian a Dairy Queen gift card so he can go on a date with me. I asked my oldest son to make an origami so we could stick the gift card inside. Then it dawned on me. Why not make a scavenger hunt with origami clues to boot! Yes, that’ll do it!
My son made two pieces of origami, and I constructed the other three: a frog, star, piano, dog, and house. Inside/on each of the pieces, I wrote a clue. The initial piece said:
The next clue was: “Can you check my email, please?”
That led him to the computer for his Pandora upgrade and so on…
This was a fun, creative way to display my husband’s gifts, and I didn’t feel bad for not having something “wrapped”.
