So, I'm not going to have much money (at all, really) for Christmas this year, so I'm trying to think of sentimental gifts/crafty gifts to give to my SO. One idea I had was to get a "Welcome Home" poster, that his dad (or his aunt, I can't remember 
) made for him when he came home from Iraq, framed. I've been telling him since we met that he needs to get it framed since he usually just pins it up to his wall, and I know it means a lot to him, and I figured if it's framed nicely, it won't get damaged. Also, I was thinking of getting this poem his dad wrote for him, when he was 6, framed. His dad meant a lot to him and he's been deceased for about 4 years. His dad was his everything, as was his aunt. Both his parents are gone, his aunt (his dad's sister) is gone, and his dad's brother (his uncle) is gone as well, all within a span of 2 years starting the year after he came home from his deployment. I'm not sure what else to get for him/make for him though. I've done the "52 Reasons Why I Love You" deck.
I'm thinking of maybe making him a bunch of "Open When..." letters with a nice box (that I might decorate).
The poem...
My SO didn't even know his dad wrote this for him and found it in a box of his dad's stuff when he moved to his new house last month. He told me it made him bawl like a baby when he read it.
I would love it if I could get a frame made that has the title on it. I've been looking on Etsy. Also, I was thinking of trying to find a picture of my SO and his dad when he was little, and the most recent one of them two, and putting them on each side of the poem, if I can.
Thoughts?
