What I got for our 1000 days

It's been 1000 days since my boyfriend and I have been together! It nicely coincided with Easter weekend and his birthday this year so we decided to celebrate extra BIG. We didn't do anything special but both came up with brilliant gifts for each other. It was a total surprise for me because my boyfriend had never given me a personalised gift. I instantly became a happy bunny after opening the presents and my boyfriend was exactly the same. Here is why.


1. Card from me
As usual, I am the one who gets a card. This was ordered from Moonpig.com, my favourite online card company and the inside was personalised with stickers that I got from South Korea a while ago. He thought the message on the card is brilliantly funny (yet true) and inside was very cute, showing my all important TLC for him.

2. Couple converse

I know some of you out there may think it's so cheesey, but for me, a matching converse has been always a dream since when I was 17 or since I wanted my very own boyfriend. ;-) By matching converse, I wanted to go for the same design rather than the colour. A little more subtle than "exactly" the same pair of trainers, hahah. I still wanted a wearable, easy-to-pair colours, so chose a classic white and light grey. Obviously, I wanted to make it extra special, so I stamped it with our very own stamp. I can't say it was all successful; a couple came out a bit patchy but thankfully, the print isn't very visible so it's still okay... 

Just in case you are interested, the ones we got is converse double tongue. I recently found out that you can now create your own personalised converse on their website. You can choose and be truly experimental with any of their classic and new designs. How awesome! 

3. Personalised marshmallows
This is soooooooo exciting. My boyfriend invested time to make it and whilst doing it, he went around all the photos taken in the past three years we've been together. I haven't tasted any of the marshmallows yet (to be honest, I am not sure if I ever will!) but I found the present very thoughtful and indeed moving.

4. Ness clothing 

The very last present from my boyfriend was from the Ness, my favourite shop in the whole world. We visited our local Ness store at Ocean Terminal the other day and found lot of winter garments were reduced. Unfortunately, they didn't have the stock in my size at the store but lucky for me, the sales assistant phoned the store at Livingston (McArthur Glen) Designer Outlet and reserved all four items that I wanted. Next day, we drove to Livingston and were so happy because not only they had all the item securely stored for us, but prices at the store was cheaper than the one at Ocean Terminal because it's an outlet and they do price match as well. Honestly, I couldn't be happier. 

The four items that I got include:

-a thick green "proper" wool-blend winter coat with houndstooth check (size 12). Unfortunately, they don't have the same one on their website anymore but still have the one in red/grey 

-a raincoat in khaki (size 10)

-a reversible tweed gillet in blue (size 10) 

-Tracey tweed trainer (size 7). 

I've been wearing all three items but the winter coat (which I will keep until next winter) and they are very comfortable and easy to pair with. 

Concluding remarks

This is not to brag about what I've got or what we've got for each other, but simply to share ideas. A tough challenge is coming for our 3rd anniversary in July and I'd love to know your wicked ideas/plans. After all, happiness is doubled when shared. :-D

Thanks for reading and I hope you have a lovely day! x
