Handmade gifts

52 reasons why I love you scrapbook

52 reasons why I love you scrapbook

Well it doesn't have to be 52 reasons - it can me as many as you like but this gift is definitely from the heart. Get creative and use glitter pens, felts, cardboard, paints and whatever material you like. Why not even include pictures of your time together to show him just how much he means to you. Buy yourself a blank scrapbook and let your mind run away with you. The one pictured is from Paperchase and there's lots of option to choose from on the website.

Pre-planned dates

Pre-planned dates

Using envelopes and some plain paper plan out 12 dates - one for each month. And if you can't think of 12 shorten it to six or three instead. The dates can be as extravagant or as simple as you like - choose from a steak dinner, movie night in, going to the cinemas, or choosing an evening at home to catch up on your favourite Netflix series. You can either post the bundle of envelopes in a jiffy bag or tie a ribbon around them and give them to him in person.
