You: “I love you mostest”
Him: “I love you mostest x 100”
You: “I love you mostest x infinity,”
Him: “I love you mostest to the infinity power…”
and so on, haha.

I LOVE that the messages are pre-written for you because I’ve heard it takes an insane amount of time to write in your own messages and roll them up small enough to fit into a pill capsule.
This gift allows you to get super sentimental without taking a whole bunch of time.
