The Christmas season is by far my favorite season not because of the presents I get, but because of the presents I get to give. At the moment my main focus is on getting the absolute perfect gift for my boyfriend, Dylan. He means so much to me and I want to give him something that shows that. So here's the idea that I came up with:
Dylan is cheap. Very cheap, but only when it comes to himself. He has absolutely no problem when it comes to spending money on his family or on me, but when it comes to himself, he refuses to buy anything. He has been really into longboarding and mentioned to me that he would like a new longboard someday. So I did my research and found the perfect one to get him. It is a bit on the expensive side, but it is everything he wants in a board and he is worth it. Now, when he sees it he is going to kill me because he hates me spending money on him as well, but I know how badly he wants it.
Part two of his gift is more sentimental and meaningful. My idea was to make a CD of 20 songs that remind me of him. I took that idea and began to elaborate on it until I came up with this: Since I used to be really into graphic design I am going to design the entire CD. The front cover is going to be a picture of him and I vectored in Photoshop. The back cover is going to be blank except for in very simple font at the bottom center, the words "I love you." Then I am going to find a way to print "Dylan and Roxi Christmas 2011" straight onto the CD so it looks professional. And finally the best and by far most meaningful part: Instead of printing the lyrics in a booklet for inside the case, I am going to write a brief paragraph for each song explaining why it reminds me or makes me think of him and use that as the booklet inside of the CD case. I am going to design each page individually so that it looks professional and has meaning behind it at the same time.
So my next 20 posts are dedicated to Dylan. Each post will be a different song, with a different paragraph about him.
I hope y'all enjoy <3
Merry Christmas
