3 Easy DIY Gift Ideas for long distance relationships using photos
Christmas time is usually for love, family, warmth, and connection, especially for those in long-distance relationships. When you're miles apart from your loved one, it can feel more lonely and it's essential to find ways to express your feelings and keep those beautiful moments alive.
This blog will explore just three (3) easy, classic and guaranteed to please creative DIY gift ideas using Polaroids and instant photos, ensuring that your partner feels cherished and remembers the moments you were together.
My husband and I did three (3) years long distance before we were able to settle together, we now have three children and are happy. There were times when we had to get creative to show each other that we still cared which was crucial especially when we couldn't get to each other on the phone.
I think, this year, going the extra mile to make a DIY Gift will really make it the best and most treasured gift yet! Don't worry if you are not artistic or crafty, there are easy kits for you to do it or I can make it for you to make sure your partner loves it and can receive it quickly if they live in Australia! OutbackInstantPhotos is the place for that.
Now let's dig in and learn about these classic, iron clad ideas!
1. Creating a Nostalgic Photo Scrapbook
One of the best ways to commemorate your relationship, especially during the festive season, is to create a nostalgic photo scrapbook. Gather your favorite Polaroid pictures that capture your special moments together. If you haven't met yet, choose some of your best photos and or some screenshots of when you guys chatted online. Arrange the photos in a charming scrapbook, adding notes about why each moment is special. You can also leave spaces for future pictures to create a beautiful bridge between your past and future memories.
2. Personalized Photo Wall Art
Another fantastic DIY gift idea is to create personalized photo wall art. First, choose a selection of your favorite Polaroid and instant camera snapshots, then you can use wooden frames or clip them onto a string with colorful clothespins to create a whimsical display. This way, every time your partner takes a glance at the wall, they'll be reminded of the wonderful moments you’ve shared, bringing smiles and nostalgia to their day. It is cost effective and easy to ship to them. If your love one lives in Australia, then I can handle that for you with quick shipping here at OutbackInstantPhotos.
3. Instant Photo Gift Box or glass Jar
If you're feeling extra creative, consider crafting an instant photo gift box or jar. Place in a decorated box or jar Polaroid or instant photos and add handwritten notes that express your feelings. For instance, each photo can have a story or a memory attached to it. Add small mementos or tokens that relate to the photos, like concert tickets that you attended together. This thoughtful gift will definitely deeply touch the heart of the one you love, especially during the Christmas holidays.
Why is DIY gift giving, when in a long distance relationship, the best option, compared to a store bought gift?
Well, in my opinion, keeping the connection alive sometimes requires a little more thoughtfulness.
Long-distance relationships can be a challenge, especially during special occasions like Christmas. However, with these DIY gift ideas using Polaroid and instant photos, you can make a much more powerful and lasting statement of "I love you." Store bought items are nice, but there is something about when someone has thoughtfully made a treasured item, truly just for you. No matter how small or inexpensive it was, I do believe it touches us more deeply.
No matter the distance, these sentimental gifts ideas will serve as a constant reminder of your love and commitment, making the times apart feel a little less lonely. It will be one of those little treasured "thingies," you can't ever throw away.
So get crafting and send your love across the miles this holiday season or if your partner lives in Australia, get in touch with OutbackInstantPhotos and we will help you surprise them with a touching DIY gift that will melt their heart this Christmas.
We will keep you involved every step of the way so you enjoy the process of making a special gift for a special person, even if you don't feel crafty or have the time to make it yourself.
