Default Anyone looking for the perfect present? I've found one

I have bought h2b this book. It isnt his main wedding pressie (we bought a painting for us both) but thought it was really romantic and I thought we could fill it out on the plane/honeymoon together.

We have also decided to keep a diary while on honeymoon, so we can look back in years to come and maybe show our kids ( did i just say that?!!! )


http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/...537469-1668621

Do you think it would be more romantic to give it to him on our wedding day (when we get back to the room, if I remember might have other things on my mind) or on the plane, wrapped?

Aw! B!! That really really lovely!! I want one but I know that Trev would't be into to it and would not be the same me doing it on my own!!!

I think you shoud give it to him on the plane. On the day of the wedding, even when you go back to your room, there will still be too much excitment going on. Where as on the plane, there is time to take it in and get down to business (no not mile high club!).

I am still thinking I might get one though...perhaps that silly long journey might encourage Trev to help me fill it out!

It's lovely isnt it? You could get it for yourself, I think it would be fun to fill in and really nice to keep.

I think I'll go for the plane idea, thank you

I've said it before, and i'll (obviously) say it again, Bee you are our resident romantic - you do some absolutely lovely things.

I'm sure your chap will really appreciate it.

Its a lovely idea B! Id just love to know how you find these things! Its the kind of thing id love to do so might keep it in mind but not sure whether Mark would get involved (thought if i get him just after the wedding he might be feeling romantic still!!)

I like the idea of the plane, hell be really chuffed by it im sure xxx

That's totally lovely!

Now there's an idea for an anniversary pressie for Matt!

B.... you're a star & totally "lush & mushy" when it comes to love!

PS I'd say give him the book on the plane as well!

thanks for the heads-up Bee i ordered one the day you posted the link and my arrived yesterday. its fab. keeping it for our 6 month anniversary when we're goping away for the night to a hotel. Chris will love it. we always used to buy each other those 'little book of love' type things in our courtship

this is great. beautiful book and the questions are all good at prompting memories. i remembered times just flicking through.

thanks again Bee. lovely thing to keep.
