Someone searching Asia for a meaningful, plastic, made-in-China souvenir gift for his wife. 'Cause Lord knows you can't get stuff like that around here. Even better, he had previously (repeatedly) told me not to purchase said item because of all it's redeeming plastic junk qualities. He settled for a chocolate candy bar instead. It had intriguing Chinese script on the wrapper which made it extra cool.
Nothing says irony (no, not ironing) like:
That fantastic plastic made-in-China item
apparently not for sale in China. Being a "piece of junk" is actually it's most endearing characteristic (I swear I'm not being sarcastic for once), which is why it has held a place of honor on my Amazon wish list for so long. You know how this ends, right? My sweet husband showed up with an empty Hershey's wrapper, because it would have melted on the way home anyway.

True, married, love, indeed! :)
They look like fun. I should look into film. When I have time. And money.
XD
And nothing says true love like an empty wrapper with Chinese writing on it.
this is a cute story :)
So are we going for quality or quantity here? 'Cuz while I have a slight lead in the quantity dept, you will likely win with quality. Not that I am giving up......
You always tell a great story. :) Sorry you didn't even get the chocolate. Maybe next time. ;)
Love & Irony - they do go together!
hi.lar.i.ous.
