Birthday gift ideas and boyfriend: Homemade gift ideas for boyfriend

My girlfriend was celebrating my 22nd birthday, which was in 2006. In fact, on that current birthday, she decided to celebrate my 22 birthdays of my life all in that year!

Here is how she did it:

She got a box and wrapped it up nicely as shown in the right.

In the box, there are 22 birthday gifts, 1 gift for every single year.

Each birthday gift has a specific theme; let’s say for example for the first birthday, you could give a milk bottle, and fill it with candy if you want.

I have received all kinds of gifts; childhood game gifts, candies, stress ball, and many others!

My girlfriend was giving me what she would have given me for every year of my life.

And for every gift, it was nicely wrapped up in a gift wrap, with a little message or note for every year. It is a neat gift, isn’t it?

Of course, it does require quite alot of preparation, so loving girlfriends and wives, please plan out in advance first before trying to create this gift.

The gifts inside the box aren’t expensive; my girlfriend took note of whatsoever things I needed at that point of time. Simple things, such as pen, pencil, and waterbottle for example, were put into the box and it was a grand gift.

Loving girlfriends and wives, this is a great gift to try out!

Other tips and ideas for this gift

These are the conditions given to me by my girlfriend, as shown on the right image. Click on the image to enlarge.

I received this gift 22 days before my actual birthday, and for every day I am allowed to open only one birthday gift for a year in progression.

It kept me excited for the whole of 22 days!

And my girlfriend was concerned that I might not understand what are these 22 gifts for, so she made an extra effort to explain to me.

It is a little unnecessary, as she forgot in her little messages and notes in each gift, it isn’t hard to guess what she is trying to do.

Final words for this post

Although it is inexpensive, this birthday gift for your boyfriend or husband needs preparation and effort.

Yet, it is a blast! I am sure boyfriends and husbands will like it.

Although some of the gifts are perishables, such as candies for example, I did not forget this gift, and I still kept the box.

So don’t worry too much that your boyfriend or husband might forget it.

Anyway, that’s it for post. Stay tuned for your more updates.

What gifts have you given for your boyfriend or husbands?
