9. Create a couples portrait from candy

This is such a fun and creative boyfriend gift idea that he can eat afterwards! To do this, find the photo you want to use, then use a photo editing tool or app to edit it - use an effect like 'Warhol' or 'Posterise' on Picmonkey to condense the amount of colours in the photo into a range of about 4-10 (depending on how many colours of candy you have!) to appear in a similar style to pop art portrait, think Andy Warhol! Then print and use as a template for the portrait. Try using some small sweets or candies like millions, nerds or even jelly beans for your creation.



10. Some cupcakes with cute or funny photo toppers  

To show them how much they mean to you, why not DIY them their own cute personalised cupcakes topped with cute photos of you both! You can craft these using some printed photos, some tape and some mini party skewers, or even order some ready made for your recipient.

11. Make him a funny 'fashion lookbook' 

Of amazing fashion moments through your time together! You could create it in the style of one of those high end fashion books, but instead fill with cute photos of you both - you could even add cute captions and words underneath like 'I look good on you' or describe yourself as being a fashion accessory to his outfit! 

You could make this super cheap with some black and white paper, a needle and thread and some craft glue. 



12. A map piece of art with photos from each place you visited 

Create him a piece of art to frame on his wall - it could be a map of your area, your country or even the whole world! Then pin your favourite photos together on the location on the map where that photo was taken, filling up the map with cute photos! It's the perfect way to display snaps of your special moments spent together. 



13. DIY him a flip book from a video 

To make this, take a special short video of you both - or choose a video that shares a happy memory! You could even crop your favourite moment from a longer video. Then convert it into still photos and print (you could write next to each snap a number before printing, so you can be sure of the order). Then cut out the stills, placing each in order as you go (you could even write the number for each on the back of each one). 

Then create the binding! You could either use a clip as illustrated, or for a more permanent binding solution for your keepsake, hole punch the stills on the left side and use a small amount of string to tie the pages together. You could even create an outer cover for the binding, using paper or card.

14. A rocket ship photo box gift 

Attached with the phrase 'you're out of this world' or 'to the moon and back' - so cute! You could create a concertina style 'zig zag' photo pop up arrangement and fix it to the inside, so that you can see the first photo in the mini window when the box is closed.
