#5 - Gifts For Her - Photo Collage

Sometimes the cheapest gift to your girlfriend can be the most thoughtful! It doesn't cost a great deal to make a photo collage. All you really need to do is buy a semi decent photo frame or even a notice board, print off lots of pictures of you and your girlfriend then arrange them in the frame or on the notice board!

Wilkinsons is a pretty good place to get a photo frame at a good price. You can also pick them up in various bargain shops. If you want to spend a bit more you can get a funkier frame that has multiple photo slots in it.

As for printing out photos, I normally get mine done on the machines at Boots or Asda. The machines accept a variety of different media cards such as USB sticks, flash drives & SD cards. You just slot your card in the machine and it loads up all your pictures then you have to spend ages browsing through them choosing the ones you want of you and your girlfriend! The other option is to print them out using a home printer but I dont have one of them :(.

You can also throw in a few pictures of people or things your girlfriend cares about like family members and pets... just to make it a bit more touching!

If you want to be more adventurous for your girlfriend, you can try making more of a 3d collage on a notice board and stick various bits n pieces on there. A few things I put on my one for my girlfriend were train tickers to places we went, concert tickets and a meal receipt from our first ever meal together :). You can also whack a few silly things on there like wrappers of her favourite snacks or a cigerrette packet of the cigs she smokes ect.

While this idea can be a bit time consuming as well as taking a bit of effort your girlfriend will love it and will no doubt have the collage on her bedside cabinet in no time!
