While I was looking through some drawers, I found a box. I look at it, and it says my mom’s name, and her birth day. It was in the year 1978. Curious, I look through it, and find some pins from her old job (a nurse instructor, i believe), jewelry and other memorable things.
I figured she probably hasn’t seen this stuff for a while. Do you think it would be a nice Christmas present to give to her? Note that I THINK this is a memory box or something, and I’m going to add in a poem and a note that says, “Let’s make new memories together” and we can use the box to add in our own memories or something. I’m also putting in a picture of her holding me in the hospital right after i was born.
I don’t want to put it under the tree because it might be embarrassing for me for her to open it in front of everyone and it might turn out she doesn’t even care about the box. So I’m giving it to her in private on Christmas.
But do you think it’s a good idea for a present? Thanks, and be nice.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays, too! :]
Oh yeah. If you’re wondering why i can’t just buy her something, I’m only 13 and have no money.
also, she recently told me that as long as we have good grades, she doesn’t need a present. but i’m feeling generous and want to give her something :]
to laestig: you’re right, i never thought of that :/ but i’m also adding in new things to it to, and it could be OUR memory box.
i have some extra perfume that i bought from before, and it’s unused too. i can give her that, then :]
