If somebody had told me that one day I’d be buying 29 Chapsticks at once, I’d ask them what kind of lip disease I was destined to get.
My kids are crazy this year about Chapstick, and I don’t deny it at all. As one who grew up with split, bleeding lips, I am pro-balm. The thing is, the ones who really need it don’t have it, and sharing chapstick is verboten, as we all know.
Well, I thought that a funny/practical gift for them this year would be a personalized chapstick. I put a Bible verse on it so it wouldn’t be completely out there as an idea (Because your love is better than life, my lips will glorify you. Psalm 63:3), and I really think they’ll like them.
Originally at Wal-Mart I found 3-packs marked down to $2, but when I checked out they were actually $3. Drat. However! I found that they sold singles that were marked down to 50 cents apiece! Score!!!!
Happy lip balmin’, guys.
Brad says
Is it cherry? Mmmm… cherry Chapstick. I wish they made a food that tasted like that. I’d spend way more than 50 cents on it if they did.
Lauren says
No, they are strawberry (which is why I thought they were on sale), and I’m fully aware that half of this Chapstick will probably be eaten.
Brad says
Well, that probably helps in digestion. Didn’t the inventor of Vaseline eat a spoonful of it every day or something?
Peggy says
What a great idea Lauren! And I LOVE your new & improved covers for them!
And I really like the name Piper….and Reggie.
Rae says
Very cool and soothing gift idea!!
Gretchen says
Great gift! And the Bible verse to go with it…tee hee!
Amy says
I love the idea of having that bible verse on my chapstick!!
