DIY GIFTS FOR THE HOLIDAYS
Deck the halls with… balls of holly? Or however that line goes… it’s that time of year!
We last talked about fun gift giving ideas to pick out for our partners on our site, but today I want to fetch some DIY ideas that will leave your partner speechless…
AT HOME BOUDOIR SHOOT
Let’s say you are feeling spicy and want to shoot some photos of yourself. Why not make a gift out of it?
Search your wardrobe and find a cute pajama set, bra, undies, silk robe, anything that makes you feel at best. This doesn’t have to be pricey, work with what you have! Think deep. What is my partners favorite color? What do they like seeing me in most? (The answer could be your birthday suit.)
Considering we are our own model and photographer, pick out some sexy lingerie and set your phone up on a self timer. Now me, I’m a photographer so I know the in’s and out’s here. I’ve been around the block a few times!
My suggestions for you is to make shift a tripod, this could be on your dresser with a few books stacked up, you could use your Starbucks venti cup to prop your phone on, it really could be super simple!
Prop your phone so it’s the back camera photographing you. Now, turn it to video mode. Take a 2 minute video, and screenshot your favorite poses. This one, makes the quality a lot better than front camera, AND… you don’t have to constantly check your phone to snap the picture. At the end of your shoot, make a custom album and share it with them! They will swoon over you. Take this info and RUN.
PSA! LOVE LETTERS ARE STILL IN!
Nothing screams love more than a hand written letter. What if you wrote 2? or 3? What if you wrote a series of letters, “Open when…” Open when you feel anxious, open when you miss me, open when you need reassurance, the list goes on.
This is simply an act that costs nothing. If we are balling on a budget, then this is a win in my books.
TICKET TO…
Grab some paper and markers and get crafty for this one!
Create little tickets for different occasions. Your partner can use these tickets whenever they please and retrieve the award… This could be a ticket for a personal massage given by you, a ticket to the movies, a ticket to paradise… aka, sex, DUH. Think inward, think about the things your partner really craves. Make is personal, a ticket to their favorite sex position, their favorite act of oral, or even a tasty ending using some whipped cream and chocolate sauce.
ONE WORD…PAINT
I am talking about the trend where you literally paint your body and stick yourself to a canvas. Leaving the outline of your hands, legs, butt, and thighs.
Whoever thought of this idea… I applaud you. It sure wasn’t me! But I love the idea of this painting.
Another super easy idea would be the hundred kisses on a canvas, use your favorite lipsticks and get kissing. This makes cute wall decor with a spicy meaning behind it ;)
Gift giving and holiday seasons in general are stressful times! We always feel we have to give and give, especially in our relationship. Little gifts like these go a long way. It’s the time you spent into making such a small act feel so special! I encourage you to do at least one DIY gift this holiday season. I promise you it won’t disappoint <3
