    Words in a bottle and handmade plushies!

    I've read gift ideas involving lists and reasons why you love your significant other, I took that and added my own spin on it. I made this “words in a bottle” for my boyfriend. He’s a writer, a Word Warrior. Each piece of paper has a unique word written upon it. The idea was to have him pick a word a day and use it as inspiration to write a poem/ramble/thought containing the word. I have no idea how many folded words there are in there, I just scribbled and folded and poked them in until it seemed full enough. I made the little "Word Warrior" tag thing and added a button and gold string to make it appear a little whimsical. I was pretty pleased with and I'm glad to say he loved it



    We both have an unnatural (seemingly natural to ourselves) love for boxes and anything remotely box-shaped. He goes by "Crate" and my Tumblr url when we first met was littleboxgirl, so he calls me "Little Box". I channeled my creativity and after precise measuring and many sore pricked fingers I ended up with these two creations, affectionately known as Crate Crate and Little Box Box. Regrettably, I was unable to replicate his dimples on Crate Crate.



    They're comfortably nesting above Crate's bed (:

    I LOVE this and may have to do something similar for my SO when I put a box together.

        SOMEONE WHO UNDERSTANDS THE LOVE FOR BOXES!!
        Finally I can say I am not alone anymore - for christmas I asked my man to buy some of the boxes I really liked and people thought I was weird..

        Anyway!

        I think the word warrior idea is great and I love what you did with the bottle, it is very creative! My man is a writer too and I might steal this idea and give him a 30 day challenge with words to write poems/stories myself

            I too love boxes, or organizing units of any kind, but boxes are a favourite.

            Your gifts are really cute and crafty.
            I made love to him only twice, she thought and looked at the man laying asleep beside her. And yet still it is as if we have been together forever, as if he has always known my life, my soul, my body, my light, my pain

                    It really isn't that difficult! You'll be surprised once you give it a try.
