Valentines Gift

Valentine’s day is almost upon us yet again and so the search is well underway to find the perfect gift. This is only the third one with my boyfriend but already it is getting difficult to think up new, interesting and practical gifts so I have no idea how people who have been together for 30 years think up ideas!

With my boyfriend moving in recently I thought that storage options might be quite a good idea, not a very ‘sexy’ option but quite practical. I always thought women had a lot of knick knacks but it turns out guys have just as many if not more! The only trouble with that is I have limited shelf and top space in my room so it is looking rather cluttered at the moment. I’m not so unromantic that I’ll just get him storage boxes so I’m trying to find some twist upon the concept and find a romantic gesture to it. I think I might have found a couple of options and a few sideways thoughts that have distracted me slightly. My favourite ‘distraction’ was a photo tree, it is a simple concept where you have bendy wires with clips on the end to pop pictures in, a great idea to fill it with photos of us but does rather add to the knick knack collection!

So I’ve come across a great storage solution that includes the photo idea with the storage solution, you can get wooden boxes that have spaces in the lid to place photos in. These boxes come in all sizes and shapes with compartments and without. These are perfect for the gist, I can add in any pictures I want to help brighten up the room and add his touch to it while providing a great storage solution for his bits and bobs.
