Great Gift Idea #1

Put memories in a box and surprise the receiver.

First, prepare a box made with thick cardboard and that's sufficiently large to hold whatever you want to put in. An old shoe box should suffice. Cover it with gift wrap so that it doesn't look cheap. Or you can easily buy one from craft shops.

Next, think of what items you want to put in the box. These should have some sentimental memory for the receiver. It could be Chupa Chups lollipop in his/her favourite flavour, a small bottle of his/her favourite perfume, a bracelet he/she always wanted, photos of yourselves having fun in a specially decorated photo album, and so on.

The content of items you put in the box is limited only by your imagination. Well, perhaps your budget as well. =)

After you've arranged the items in the box, you may want to include a note. You may write your thoughts or feelings, or even why these items made it into the box. Again, it's limited only by your imagination, or how much you want to tell the other person.

Then add the final touch: attach a ribbon or bow to the box.

Present it to the intended receipient and watch his/her reaction when the box is opened.
