Since the big V day is coming up, I thought it would be nice to share this cute little book I received for Christmas.
It's more of a journal than a book, but the unique ooh-la-la factor is that it's compiled by not only you, but your boyfi/husby/partner too. The idea is that you both fill it in over three different timepoints (could be year after year, every 5 years, or every few decades if you're feeling optimistic!); there are different questions/promps for each day followed by two sets of different-coloured lines (to distinguish between you and your guest filler-inner).
Since I love the idea of writing down my thoughts (who woulda thunk it?) and reflecting back on memories, this really was the ideal gift for me. Perfect if you're a fan of occasional slush and sentimentality!
To top it off, it looks so pretty too, without being too girly for the opposite sex to avoid. Anywho, with the joys of social media and the beautiful <iPhone/Blackberry/Nokia 3210/walkie talkie/two cans and a string> generation, it's easy enough to drop a quick message to your other half to request their response, leaving you to fill it out on their behalf without the worry of scruffy handwriting festering among the pages (or to simply save their time/effort obvs *cough*).
This is a really cute idea, although I don't think my boyfriend would go for it, he's not really into that sort of stuff, but if you had a boyfriend that would then it would be really nice to do.
