my husbands Goofy pin present

[BigThunder]

I just had to tell someone as I'm so excited I can't stand it. I've been going wild on ebay trying to buy up Goofy pins my DH doesn't have. I've probably bought about 25 so far & I'm trying to make myself stop! They are so cute! My idea was to buy him a bulletin board of his own (we purchased a BB a few months back & are sharing it which he has never liked, he always wanted his own). So I thought I'd stick these pins all on the bulletin board & wrap it like that. I dont' want it to be a dead giveaway, any ideas how to wrap this? I can't wait to get all the pins in!

Put bunches of wadded up newspaper in clumps on the bulletin board and along the hard frame? Then wrap the whole kit and caboodle? Will make it a lumpy, odd shaped present, but he might not guess right off?

Oooh, that's a good idea! I at first thought he'd feel the edges & think it's a framed picture but then I remembered the pins would be felt through the paper so I thought I'd cover it with cardboard. I like the paper idea to really throw him off! hee hee

that's why I stay off of ebay...I love pins also, and I can't stop once I start buying.
Glad you had fun though! And your DH will love his gift. I know I would! :lol:

I just had to tell you all that I totally had him fooled with this present. I wrapped the cork board in bubble wrap to try to disguise the feel of the pins. I didn't figure it would work but it did. He thought I bought him a framed picture of something! So it went over well.

Sounds like he was really surprised Big Thunder. And a very happy man.
