I woke up a week ago with a panicking thought in my head!
My anniversary with my boyfriend is only two weeks away! After three years of being together, I was running out of ideas of what to give him as an anniversary gift and I'm running out of time! Being a grad student, I am also financially challenged (aka broke), so I wanted to be able to give him something cost effective, personal, but creative.
So, I started thinking about what I can give him. Then I pondered what other people give to their significant others after already gaven so many gifts over the years? So I did what everyone else in my situation would do... I googled gift ideas. But that didn't help, as all the results were just generic, non-useful, and just not personalized.
Finally, after exercising my brain for a while, a light bulb came on!
What could be better than a composition of our wonderful moments into a short movie with picture slides, vacation videoes and a personal message at the end? It's cost efficient, as I will finally learn how to use the video editing program installed in our computer years ago, it's personal, and creative!
As I am working on my gift, I wondered if other people have the same problem finding gift ideas for their anniversary, mother's day, father's day, or for any meaningful event in their life? All the existing video companies focuses on major events such as wedding, or company training. Wouldn't it be great if there is a service that helped people who doesn't have the time or skill to compose their own short but unique video?
**Please let me know your thoughts about my project idea -- whether it is definitely desired and you want a video of your own, interesting, not helpful at all, or a waste of your time reading.**
Thank you!

Keren,
ReplyDeleteI love the video idea. I was just at one of my best friend's weddings and her parents made a slide show/video showing her and her fiance's life before knowing each other and then the past few years of their relationship. It was fun for everyone to watch and I think that it's worth more than anything you can buy. Especially with the ease of sending these in links in emails you can share with others! What a great idea :)

Karen, thank you for your encouragement! I've also noticed that it's becoming a prominent event during weddings! It's an awesome way for people to view the couple's journey up to the wedding.
ReplyDeleteI think personal gifts are so much more meaningful. I like giving pictures ablums myself. I've done scrapbooks, or photo albums from shutterfly. These types of gifts seem so much better. I like getting them too! I think your video idea is a great one! Very creative!
