Decorative Beer Box Gift: Big Wave "Yoda Obi-wan for me"

My Valentine's Day Tradition has become decorating a 6-pack of beer with a cute saying and giving it to my husband for Valentine's Day.  My reasoning is why waste money on an expensive card that is most likely just going to get tossed in the trash and instead put the money toward something my husband will at least like and use.  Have you looked at some of the card prices? $8.00 for a card is crazy in my opinion.  By decorating a beer box you are combining a gift and a card so it's a win win for about the same price as some cards would cost.

Last year I came up with several different saying that went with different brand beers. I will eventually share them over time, it just might be a while! This year I had a saying in mind that I wanted to do,"You're the O-BEER-WAN for me", but the only beer I could think of at the time to go with it was Root Beer Beer which I don't think my husband will like.

My other option was to create my own 6-pack and decorate it however I wanted. Since I was at the store with my husband I decided to let him pick out a new beer he wanted to try. He picked out a beer called Big Wave by Kona Brewing Co. Yes I wanted to surprise him but it's hard to get out with three kids ages three and under so I figured oh well. 

This year for Valentine's Day I decorated a Big Wave by Kona Brewing Co. beer box with the saying, "Yoda OBI-WAN for me". I used the BI in BIG and the WA in WAVE from the beer box and added Star Wars clipart characters I found for free at clipartion.com.

When my husband first picked out the beer I was hesitant because I didn't know what saying I could use but I stared at it for a second and laughed because the saying I was planning on using worked perfect, I just had to change the spelling back to the correct spelling. I then used the Star Wars character's correct names and spelling to decorate the beer box. I thought I came up with an awesome saying until I was googling free clipart and saw the saying was already all over the internet but oh well, it's the thought that counts!

I also added some sun flower seeds and Skittles to the beer with the second part of the saying so it ended up reading, "YODA OBI-WAN for me ANAKIN not live without you!" translated to "You're the only one for me and I cannot live without you!"

My husband loves beer and he loves Star Wars so of coarse he loved his Valentine's gift and just incase you didn't know, Yoda, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker are all Star Wars characters. If your significant other isn't a Star Wars fan, here are a few other sayings you could possibly use to decorate a Big Wave by Kona Brewing Co. beer box:

• "You're the O-BEER-WAN for me"- use a beer box with the word BEER on it
• "Yoda OBI-WAN for me" 
• "Yoda OBI-WAN for me Anakin not live without you"
• "If you want to know how much I love you, count the WAVEs" - picture of waves
• "You're the best WAVE of my life"
• "Love is a BIG WAVE"
• "I found my BIG WAVE"
• "You sweep me off my feet like a BIG WAVE would"
• "You take my breath away like a BIG WAVE would"
• "Happy Valentine's Day BIG Hunk"
• "I love you as BIG as the (sky, moon, world, ocean)"
• "I love your BIG heart"
• "I love my BIG sister/brother"
• "Love gives you a crazy kind of brAVE"
• "To be brAVE is to love unconditionally" 
• "I really dIG you Valentine"

HERE is an in depth tutorial of how to decorate a beer box. You basically come up with a saying, write or print it out along with an image and hot glue it onto the beer box. 

There are a ton of different ways you can decorate a beer box. A Decorative Beer Box is a great gift for your husband, your boyfriend, or your dad. If your wife or girlfriend is a beer drinker I'm sure she would love it to. If someone is a Star Wars fan and loves beer, this is a great gift for them. I make the decorative beer boxes for Valentine's Day but they can be for any occasion or holiday. I know beer isn't for everybody so you can decorate other beverages or food items with cute sayings instead. If you need ideas, feel free to check out my blog, Snack Love Notes for Valentine's Day. I hope your significant other loves this gift as much mine did. If you come up with any other saying using the words"Big Wave" please feel free to share them in the comments below.

My husband decided to spoil me this Valentine's Day. He decided to decorate a Bud Light Lime Raz-Ber-Rita box with a cute, but cheesy saying, "You Razzle-Bedazzle me Right to my heart". He also made me heart shaped pancakes, wrote a love note on my mirror and surprised me with tickets to see The Illusionist!
