I assume most of you are aware of this but just in case, Valentine’s Day is TOMORROW! (If you have not gotten your significant other something by now, stop reading immediately quickly read on and then go to the store, make a card, write a love letter- do something- just do not let the time pass by. Trust me.)
Ok, now that we’ve gotten that out-of-the-way, I’m going to brag reveal what I got my husband for Valentine’s Day. It’s pretty epic, if I do say so myself. Background: We’ve been married for approx. 12 yrs now ( & just go ahead and throw in a couple more yrs for dating/engagement). What am I trying to say????
Well, we’ve celebrated Valentine’s Day every year & it’s pretty much my favorite holiday. This means we’ve each seen a lot of roses, cards, chocolate, fancy dinners and chick flicks. This year I wanted to give him something creative ( but also something more than a home-made card). I put together 5 of my most creative Valentine’s Day ideas and picked the one I thought he would most like.
Enter Image3D. Remember those super fun view-masters with all the reels of your favorite superheros and cartoon characters from when you were a kid? They were awesome right? Image3D makes custom 3-D reels and viewers for consumers—called Image3D Celebrate. They have the same look and feel of the old view-masters but the images are your own pictures! ( in fact if you still happen to have an original, I’m pretty sure the Image3D reels are compatible). My husband loves vintage finds and has a collection of antique metal lunch boxes and original PEZ dispensers, so I knew this would be a perfect gift for him.
I got right to work making a reel of several of our favorite couple pics we’ve taken together over the years. I wanted there to be an awesome memory associated with every click.
I was having so much fun with it that I made another reel of fun family pictures.
The husband has also been asking for some of our family pics ( taken by the fabulous Stephanie Wilson Photography ) for his office. With the help of Image3D, his wish was granted & in an epic way!! I made a reel including those. Now he can leave it out on his desk at work and shamelessly brag about his awesome kiddos. It’s a great conversation starter and what a fun way to show off pictures of your kids, right?? I thought so too!
I know he is going to LOVE it!! In fact, if you are near his office tomorrow stop in. I’m sure he would be glad to show it to you!
The great thing is that this gift is amazing for any occasion. Grandparents, anniversaries, wedding favors( imagine your family and guests enjoying these at the reception) and you could create new reels to add to it each year. What kind of pictures would you put on your Image3D reel?
