Patience is a Virtue

My husband adores Smartie sweets, (like M&M's but nicer) and will eat a whole box or large tube in an evening if we let him. So one Christmas I thought that I would encourage him to eat them slightly slower.

I individually wrapped each Smartie in a twist of tissue paper and re-packed them in a much larger Christmas card box. I wrapped the box, labeled it fragile and gave it to him on Christmas morning.

He was quite surprised to unwrap a box of Christmas cards but when he saw what was inside he burst out laughing. Everyone thought it was a fab joke. His only complaint was that it took ages to unwrap the sweets but not as long as it had taken me to wrap them!

...just the other day I was thinking "I wish crisp packets were harder to open, because then maybe I wouldn't eat so many" (I'm serious!) and then you come along with this idea :-)
