A GIFT THAT'S TOO CUTE

Here's a fun and meaningful gift for a couple about to be married, or one who is celebrating a milestone anniversary. Procure a photo of each of the lovebirds taken when they were children and put the pictures in a small frame. Both photos need to be the same tone, whether that's black and white or color. Make sure the photos depict the couple when they were around the same age even if they were born years apart.

It also makes a great gift to yourself, so think about creating one for you and your amour. If you want to make more of a statement, have each of the childhood photos enlarged to a size that suits you, place them in matching frames and hang them near each other on a wall.
