Reasons I Love You Gift Idea
Making this quick and easy gift is practically effortless! Simply use a pack of 3/4″ garage sale stickers and write a reason why you love your spouse on each sticker. Then, place the stickers on some Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups and fill a jar with all of the candies. See? Practically effortless! 😉 By the way, Reisens candies would also be perfect for going inside this Reasons Why I Love You Jar! (Get it? Reisens = Reasons. Cute, huh?) And, the stickers would also fit perfectly on the bottom of a Hershey’s Kiss! So many different love jar ideas and options! All you have to do is choose your sweetie’s favorite treat in mini-size and sticker them up! That being said, start thinking of all those reasons you love your sweetie so you can fill up this Reasons Why I Love You Jar in a snap. And don’t forget: the reasons themselves are 1000% more important than the candy type. Trust us! 😉 Isn’t this such a cute idea? Every time your loved one reaches for a candy, they will be reminded why you love them! Not to mention, your sweetie will get a sweet treat and in turn, potentially give back a heartfelt message to YOU based on the Reasons Why I Love You gift you gave them! Win-win!

Reasons Why I Love You Gift Options
What I love most about this editable file is how versatile the uses could be AND how convenient they are to make. You can truly gift this to any loved one whenever you want! However, we have a few fun ideas that you can consider for your Reasons Why I Love You gift.
As an Anniversary Gift – Using the editable file, you could do any number of candies for how long you have been married. 30 years = 30 Reasons Why I Love You. As a Birthday Gift – Match the number of chocolates/notes to their age. 35 years old = 35 Reasons Why I Love You As a New Year’s Gift Idea – Wouldn’t it be neat to make a 365 Reasons Why I Love You Jar and have them get a love note/eat one chocolate every day for a year!? Go ALL out! In fact, this might make it the best year ever! As a Long Distance Idea – If your spouse is leaving for a time (like a deployment or work trip) you could do a chocolate for each day they are away. If they are away for a month, you could do 30 Reasons Why I Love You and have them take one a day while they are away. 100 Reasons Why I Love You Jar – 100 is just symbolic of A LOT! Can you imagine how exciting it would be to receive 100 specific examples of love from your spouse?!
