So, are you looking for ideas of how to decorate the cans or things to put in the cans?

I did both fruit cans and bigger cans. I just put Hershey's Kisses in the smaller can, but you could put anything that folds (even a picture of a gift you bought for him). The bigger cans (mixed fruit) were perfect for gift cards.

What a sweet idea! You could put a love letter inside one of the cans. Or something like putting red hots with a "hot" letter inside (here's what we can do when you're back home. . .)

Is he into jewelry? Maybe a bracelet inside a can? Or tickets to a movie/play/event?
