Its hard to decide on THE PERFECT gift for someone you love! Every year I am challenged with - what will I do and What special gift can I give him??
A few days ago it was my husbands birthday. This year, since it was going to be for the big 40 - I wanted it to be something more personal and creative. He loves that more than any gift he gets from the store :)
But, the problem is ... creativity is not one of my strong suits! It took me a long time to think of something BUT it finally got to me! What can be more personal than gathering all our memories together and telling him all the special things we love about him the most?!
40 Things We Love About You"! photo scrap book :)
They loved it and couldn't wait till we gave it to him!!
In the end it was so much fun to make and the outcome and appreciation was amazing!:)

Such a lovely idea. We both have birthdays coming too. Just like your husband we are not the gifts from the store loving people. Maybe not totally unexpected.... best gifts for me come in the form of food hehe!
Yes, youre right, i will stick to the creative gifts from now on:) A gift in a form of food... 🤔 that sounds like a great idea! 😄🤗
What a beautiful 40th Birthday gift from you and your children @cooknbake Nothing money would buy could replace such a special present. I love the fact that you got your children involved and your husband will have this list of personal appreciation from his family forever.
Yes, having the kids involved in the project was great. No more bought presents from now on! Lol:)
we will continue with the creative gifts, it was really special and is much more personal 🤗

This is so creative and very personal, something you cannot buy in the store.
I would honestly love to receive something like this and I would also love to make a similar gift for someone. :)
