The most beautiful gift under the tree? Memories that will make you happy every day! Get inspired by our tips on how to give love
Three hundred and sixty-five days until next Christmas
Once the presents have been given, it's time to reflect. What will next year be like? What lies ahead and what will be new? What will we keep as it is now and what will need to change?
If you feel there is something important that should not change, make it known. If this important point in your life is the love you have for your partner, tell him or her. And not just once! To make sure your loved one gets a little love every day - even if you're separated by a business trip, a family crisis, a trip or even a quarantine, give him or her a gift for Christmas this year that he or she will use every day!
Get yourself a nice big jar with a lid, a decorated box or a nice box - there are no limits to creativity. And paper, scissors and a pencil. And start working on letting your significant other know what they mean to you.
Cut 365 small pieces of paper and write on each one the reason why you love your partner, what you like to remember, what you like about him/her. Then pour all these little messages into the container of your choice. Then all you have to do is write the instructions for the gift - namely, that every day when you wake up, there's a chance for your loved one to take out one piece of paper that will lift his or her spirits for the day. Believe me, you'll definitely score!
Let's ring in the New Year together!
Did you know that if you give someone a calendar with your photos for Christmas, you are also letting them know that you are counting on them and want to spend the next year by their side?
If you like symbolism, then the CEWE calendar is just right for you and your loved one. Think about it - what kind of spring could await you together? What will you experience in the summer? And will autumn be nice enough to enjoy the last of the sunshine? Next winter, you might look to the mountains again, and throughout the year you'll fondly remember what this year was like. What you've already experienced.
Every day you can remind yourself of what you've experienced and enjoy the new, for example, with small desk calendars that are perfect for your desk, fridge, or maybe at work as a little talisman that you don't forget yourself even when you have to be somewhere else. Every wall will be decorated with a wall calendar that can function not only as a reminder of the month and day, but also as a family photo on the wall. For those who like to circle important dates, then be sure to opt for a planner calendar, and for the aesthetes, there's also a vase with a tasteful wooden bar.
Support box
They say it hurts the most when our loved ones suffer. We want to help them through every difficult moment, so it's not a bad idea to let them know that if something goes wrong in the coming year, they won't be on their own. After all, they have you and a box full of support that will put a smile on their face, among other things.
How to make such a box?
Choose the size according to your needs. Start by thinking about what difficult things your loved one might face in the coming year. A demanding task at work? Another argument with the boss? Maybe grief while dealing with a pet's health woes. But maybe it will be something less challenging, like ordinary everyday worries: crying after a touching movie ending, a stressful "must" visit with relatives, or a dentist appointment. Create a separate "rescue" for each of these situations. For example:
You know that your husband will be killing the trip to your great-aunt's that you have planned for May, and you already suspect that he will bite his nails with boredom? How about getting him a good old Tamagotchi for a few pennies and storing it in an envelope marked "For boredom at Auntie's"? You'll see that even the most challenging events of the year will turn into affectionate situations that you'll remember as something you managed together!
The Book of Memories
Did you also love going through old family albums with your parents and grandparents when you were little? Get inspired and bring this beautiful habit into your current relationships, and in a more modern way too! Create a beautiful photo book for your loved one. How about the theme "Our Year 2022" in plates with your faces on the holiday wrapping? This gift is not a joy for a few moments, but a testament to your journey together that you will one day admire with a knowing smile on your lips that you had some truly beautiful moments and overcame the difficult ones together. Flipping through a photo book is like creating your own book to the unique story you are living.
Choose one that will exactly match both your requirements for the number of pages and the size or type of paper. Such a gift will last you and your relationship for a really long time and will continue to give you joy for many, many years to come. Not only because of the love that binds you, but also because of the durable covers that will protect your memories.
You can create your CEWE photo book here. You will surely please your partner, your mother, your grandmother, your best friend or a really cool colleague from work who is your daily support. After all, love knows no boundaries and those who make our days more beautiful need to be cherished as much as the feelings they make us feel in our hearts.
