Today my girlfriend's birthday. So among the other things, we went to Poland to make a small party for some of our friends. The party is being made by my girlfriend with our friend who also has a birthday. So we will celebrate a double birthday.
And here the problem begins.
My buddy decided that he would make a contribution with friends who come to the party and give our friend a bicycle. A great gift, especially that she dreamed about it.
But for me is not the best decision, because I agreed with my girlfriend that we do not make presents this year to each other, at least not physical things.
On the one hand, I'm not feeling well to collect money from people with whom we have had weaker contacts lately because we've been living in another country for 2 years.
However, it will be very stupid if we do not buy anything and her friend will get a bike.
So I quickly came up with the idea that I would make her a photo album with our photos of our friends. For a few days, I collected and asking friends to send me photos. Mostly, however, I found the majority on facebook or google drive off course.
Super, the photo album planned, 427 photos printed.
But the album on the compare to bike still looks miserable.
So I decided to look for something else. So for the last two hours, I have been walking around In a shopping mall and looking for something special. Something that I can easily give as from myself and from all my friends.
I am a person who has big problems with shopping, especially for someone else.
I do not want to buy anything completely useless, however, most of the items in shopping malls, in my opinion, are useless. So I've been walking around for some time among various shelves, shops, and colorful exhibitions. I couldn't find anything. I hate this.
In the end, I think I chose her a silver necklace. I was going to buy her that for Valentine's Day anyway. Now I will just give it as a gift for everyone.
I'm not sure if she doesn't have similar already. But it will be seen ...
I am finishing this post because I am still in the gallery and soon I will need to spend a few hours of sticking photos to the album. But it will be a pleasure... I hope.
What ideas do you have for gifts to your loved ones? Or maybe you like shopping and watching all that crap on shelves?
