Hi,

I'm thinking to add another gift to the gifts for my boyfriend- A selfmade calendar with pictures of us.

Details: I will buy a calendar (January, February etc.) which has empty spaces on every page to put pictures and stuff. I'm planning to put one picture of us together for every month.

My boyfriend is 30 and I'm 26. We've been together for 1.5 years. I'm not sure about it those... guys, would you like a gift like that? Or is it a bit too cheesy?

Would love to hear what you think. Thx!!

That sounds great!

My mom does that for me every year. I don't know where she digs up some of the pictures but it is very thoughtful.

Another idea can be times of the year you did things. Went camping in April, skiing in December... Etc.

Cool gift.

Depends on how close you are. If you're the kind of couple that shares everything then its probably appropriate. Personally I'd think its kind of weird but would appreciate the thought and probably tell you I like it even though I'd never use it. I'm not the kind of guy that uses wall calenders and not knowing your relationship it might come off as a little "look at me".

At least its not as weird as a mug with your face in the bottom of it but I honestly think its heading into that region.

LMAO

This kind of thing really depends on your relationship though. I would think it was a unique idea and would probably use it at work or something.

I don't use any other calendar except for the one I have on my phone, so it's not a gift I'd 100% appreciate, though I would understand the thoughtfulness.
