Chris’ Birthday Celebration
Index Card Challenge - Whiskey Edition
Every year I try to find a different way to celebrate Chris’ Birthday. After almost 17 years together I can’t just do the typical, “here’s your gift let’s eat kind of day”. It’s nothing wrong with that if you do, but I like to get creative. But how?! This video will be a recap of how I surprised Chris with a fun and unique weekend getaway to celebrate his birthday using index cards. Each card had a different option, and for this video I will mainly tried to focus on the Whiskey related cards.
To kick things off we headed to Wilmington North Carolina to celebrate all things him. There I booked a 2-bedroom houseboat, with a nice view, floating atop the Cape Fear River. This day was dedicated to travel, grabbing a bite to eat once arrived at our location, and checking into the AirBnB. I purposefully kept this day light because I knew the next day would be a full day.
If you’ve been on social media lately, you might have come across this challenge. Essentially, one person randomly picks one of two cards given by another person. In my situation, the card he chose determined how his birthday would be celebrated, and what gifts I would be purchasing for him throughout the day. This way, he could essentially play a role in curating how we spent the day. I simply just provided the options for him to select.
After his birthday breakfast I surprised him with two index cards. One that had an option for Bourbon and another for Scotch. Whichever card he selected, that would be the type of bottle he would get to pick out at the local ABC store in Wilmington for me to purchase. I’d say that’s a good start to the day!
Check out the video to see what other set of index cards were incorporated in his weekend getaway. Cheers to birthday celebrations and whiskey!
Remember, whiskey is to be enjoyed responsibly and in moderation. Take your time, sip slowly, and revel in the moment as you unlock the secrets hidden within each pour.
