Thanks a lot girl.
She did this sometime back for her boyfriend. Have a look. It isn’t exactly the post card format I was talking about.
It’s a neat design with a message. Ain’t that cute?

Try doing it differently.
Here is the fun way to surprise your special someone.
Make a pillow post card yourself and courier it with a special letter/message written in the postcard format.
This is more suitable for distance relationships.
Just think how nice it would be to read the message from your loved one before going to bed.
It also gives a nice cozy feeling to see your handwritten message in this age of SMSes and emails :)

Its really easy to make and also quite affordable.

Materials Required:

1. Pillow
2. White plain pillow case/cover
3. Permanent marker ( Preferably a sharp pointed one)

Instructions

1. Divide the cover into two halves and draw a line in the middle.
2. Write the address on the right side. Try to be creative here. Use the original postcard format
3. On the left side write your personal letter/message. You can also scribble on the back side :)
4. Don’t forget to add the stamp. Any stamp at all..Can be a cute heart too ;)

Note: Try to use a permanent sharpie for writing, as the other markers might smudge a little.

Sorry couldn’t share the pictures this time. Didn’t get my hands on a white pillow case :)

This pictures gift will give voice to your feelings and will capture the essence perfectly..

If you are looking for really different and unique way of conveying a message, then you should definitely try this gift idea.

For all those Men who want to impress their woman and for all those ladies who are running out of ideas as what to gift, here comes the wonderful gift idea.

Say it with Pictures!! Yeah right, literally..
Go out and get yourself clicked.
The mission is pretty simple. You will give the photos with the hidden message to your loved one and leave the delight of decoding to her/him.

For making this gift all you need is a camera/cell phone cam and a person to click your pictures (Take the help of your friend or a passerby)

Point at an alphabet in each picture. Be creative, try different places(Malls, Restaurants, shops) use the name boards, signs, wall posters anything and everything. Try different poses and expressions.
Trust me, You too will enjoy the craziness involved in making this gift :) , roaming around in different places, enjoying the attention of the people around looking at you for posing so weirdly near the alphabets :P

If you want to say “I Love You”, all you need is 8 pics with you pointing at those alphabets, one letter in each picture. ( I,L,O,V,E,Y,O,U)
If you want to cut down the pics try finding letters for “I Luv U”

I made this last year for my boy friend,who is now my hubby.
Have a look at the sample pictures to get an idea. (Just uploading the thumbnails)

You can try this for different occasions and for conveying different messages like
H,A,P,P,Y B,I,R,T,H,D,A,Y ( or just HAPPY B’DAY)
H,A,P,P,Y A,N,N,I,V,E,R,S,A,R,Y
T,H,A,N,K Y,O,U
I A,M S,O,R,R,Y (or FORGIVE ME)
W,I,L,L Y,O,U M,A,R,R,Y M,E (or BE MINE)
any message at all..

Develop the pics and mail them to their address. You can also upload the pics and e-mail them if you want it to be delivered faster.
If the person stays in a different city or country, this idea works perfect as it doesn’t involve much of postal charges.

Have a fun photo session :)
