Valentine's Day Besties Box
A very distinct moment led me to create this Curated by Carmen box. Before I met the love of my life, I was single for a VERY long time- three years, to be exact. Yesss, I know some of you may be rolling your eyes, thinking, "You gotta be kidding me," but three years is a long time for someone who always seems to be in a relationship. During my absence of male companionship, I spent every waking moment with my best friend. If we weren't together physically, we were together technologically. It was a regular routine - our morning 6:00 am call before heading to work, sharing mundane breakfast, lunch and dinner plans and exchanging ridiculous stories of our exs and how our standards have changed. I mean, it got to a point where we were subconsciously dressing alike and finishing each other's sentences. At this point, we thought if we were destined to be single in life, all we need is each other. Yup, this was us…..kinda seems a bit creepy.
For two years, when Valentine's Day rolled around, we would brush it off and tease her sister, who always had a special dinner date, all while we stayed home cause it was just another day for us single folk. However, I was sick of being a recluse while my Instagram flooded with pictures and stories of Valentine's Day dinners, gifts, weddings and engagements. So, I conjured up a plan,I grabbed some tortilla chips and dip, candies, popcorn, chocolates, cookies, two bottles of wine and a rose. I happily prepped all the items, carefully arranged them on platters. Put on Sex and the City, poured our glasses of wine and placed the rose next to her plate. She seemed very suspicious when I excitedly answered the door, but when she noticed the elaborate setup, she was beyond herself. We laughed like little children full of excitement, hugging one another while jumping up and down; we screamed, "who needs a man when you have a best friend." So, in honour of this special memory, I created the Besties Box. It includes two of everything for a memorable Valentine's Day with that special someone you hold dear to your heart.
