Why Don't You... Act As A Personal Cheerleader? ♥

For your best friend, lover or a family member, by creating them a 'happy book'?
Gift it to someone special this Christmas, and fill it to the brim with inspirational quotes!
Pile it high with your favourite photographs, and make a list of all the amazing things that they've achieved this year. Decorate it with kiss prints, glitter pens and heart-shaped post-it notes. Print out your all-time favourite glee-inducing articles. We all occasionally need a reminder of our most wonderful attributes, and how truly unique and fab-u-LOUS we all are, so why not let this book serve as a constant reminder for someone?
Compose an A-Z list of the reasons why you love them, and assure them that regardless of their individual circumstances, they're always capable of achieving magical things! Seal it with a billion kisses, and make the very last page a pop-up love-o-gram: fold a piece of A4 paper in half, and stick a photo of yourself in there blowing a kiss, allowing it to act as their ULTIMATE guide to being enchanted by life, and of your deep appreciation for their existence.

Great idea! I love making little things that can be found later. Nothing like something handwritten and glued on.

I did this for my boyfriend the year before last. I made a little book, filled it with cards, photos of us, and cool little things that are meaningful to us - then, I went through and wrote 101 reasons why I love him on it. Now he keeps it beside the bed, and reads it whenever he has a bad day.
I don't think I'll ever top that Christmas present. :D

That's lovely! I dislike crafts but I love watching others hehehe. It's true we need reminders, especially if you have my memoray… Even facebook putting an online scrap book of photos and status updates made me happy hehe.

A beautiful idea. I had no idea what to do for my hubby for Xmas, but I'm sure that he would love this.

Now THERE'S a gift idea that will be meaningful beyond the ripping of wrapping paper. Love it, doll!
