Today is my 25th birthday, a quarter of a century.  With birthdays come presents, and this year mine came with 25 small gifts from my mom.

I’m not gonna lie, mom’s not always right on the bulls-eye with gift giving for me…which is understandable considering I have lived many states away for about 5 years now.  So when I saw a large box arrive in my cubicle this morning, I got to thinking it wasn’t a check.

After opening the box and card, it was clear mom took some extra time this year and bought me 25 fun and special gifts for my 25th bday.  I thought it was only appropriate that I take a comparable amount of time saying “thanks” and sharing my awesome gifts with all of you.

Not sure if mom was reading my blog, or squeezing my bro & sis-in-law for info…but she was right on with MOST of the gifts.  I also feel the need to point out how she wrapped every piece (something I like to do when giving gifts) just because unwrapping stuff is fun.

Check out the great gifts below – many of which may appear as #pinkpicks in weeks to come.

Anyway, just wanted to take this opportunity to say, thanks ma.

So, I just got glasses, and then realized what better accessory to go with them than a matching USB drive?  Too bad this isn’t pink.  Thank goodness for Fred Flare.
