I didn’t blog about this at the time (it’s fairly self-indulgent…), but I’m currently working on something vaguely similar that I can’t talk about cool that made me want to share this.
Christie and I had our one-year anniversary in March. Since I didn’t really have any money, and since there’s not a lot of incredibly romantic things you can buy that meet the ‘paper’ criteria (magazine subscription? Cook book?), I went down the make-your-own path.
I bought a love-heart stamp pad from Kikki K, some note pads from the newsagency and I set about writing 365 unique, individual reasons that I love life with Christie.
I folded them up, put them in a jar and tied a ribbon around it.
I won’t share what the notes said, but I can reveal that, luckily, she liked it. Now, whenever she has a bad day or when I’m away, she pulls a random note out and reads it. And that’ll make me happy for at least the next year. A selfish gift, then, I suppose.
Oh, and I also made her this…
