tapedeck Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 The pressure seems to be on every chrimbo to deliver a romantic gesture that will make every woman (and maybe men?) think they are in a Kate Winslet love story. So..Things I've thought of in regards to making my partner have a great Christmas holiday: Making a christmas stocking and filling it with memories of our times together. Make a book/DVD with all of the "fun times" had. Using songs/pictures we like. Re-proposing (if possible!)...In an even better way? Chocolates!! (Can't fail surely!) That's all I can think of. So yeah, any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated. I'm sure there are some romantics here... Maybe :awesome: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jayseven Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 i've never been very good at larger innovations. I did your typical 'mix tape' and made a kick-ass cover for it by hand. Worked out the exact number of days we had been together and did stuff with that. So yeah, number of days could be cool. A thousand tiny gifts or something? I don't know. The other thing I did was draw a story on a whole series of post-it notes and have a sort of follow-the-clues game around her house. Perhaps little gifts near them too. I also sporadically, over the two years we were together, drew a picture or wrote a thought, a diary entry or a poem (emooooo) in a notebook on random pages... Would've been romantic 'cept I was going to give it to her if/when we broke up as a token of good will. Instead she broke my heart with her imperfections and I prefer to keep it myself to alter and present to the next girlfriend on a special day instead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bluey Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 Making a christmas stocking and filling it with memories of our times together. thats a cute idea!! how about something like this? but.. a whole stocking?? and wont she notice that pictures and trinkets have mysteriously gone walkabouts...? Make a book/DVD with all of the "fun times" had. Using songs/pictures we like. ......cheeeeeese ~ and a bit youtube :/ Re-proposing (if possible!)...In an even better way? ...propose an actual date? O____O or is that like, giiiant step? re-proposing... i think the memory of the first time cant be beaten, even if you did something 'better' ... OH ITS ALL TOO COMPLICATED!!! Chocolates!! (Can't fail surely!) ....win! ...always win. i'm going for "craft-time-christmas" for everyone this year ~ mainly because i'm broke but i'ma pretend its because hand-made gifts are more personal and heartfelt. ...suckers...! ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tapedeck Posted November 27, 2007 Author Share Posted November 27, 2007 if I could knit they would be AWESOME!! The instrucions to make them can be bought on EBAY... Perfect presents for laaaaaddddiiieees But still, even with these Ebay instructions I cannot crotch knit. HAD ANOTHER GREAT IDEA: My fiance loves talking about the programmes she grew up with so I've bought her some DVD's on Ebay which are the programmes she grew up with. Cheap and good quality and a nice little suprise present. Especially as she always says she wishes she could see them again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
