The Missing Donut

Spell it out across a dozen, leave one hole for the answer.

I DONUT want to go to hoco with anyone but you.

Get a dozen donuts and pull one out, then slot small cards into the empty holes so the box itself spells the ask when they open it. The last hole stays empty with a note that their yes fills it. The box does the talking, not a sign propped on top.
