Snap! Print! Paste!

 

December is the most magical time of the year. The colorfully lit Christmas lights and their decorations mark the beginning of the holiday season. As a young girl, I remember Christmas as the time to put away my books and stay up all night to watch Christmas movies with my siblings. Then we would wake up late the next day, hop onto the car to go eat at our favorite noodle place near our house. It was a very Asian and personal way to enjoy the holiday season. My big brother would pull out his Polaroid camera and snap candid pictures of us.

 

Christmas is the perfect time to shower our loved ones with meaningful gifts. We figure out the perfect little gift to help savor and commemorate these moments. No moment is too small to be remembered. We have crafted a clear rectangular acrylic piece as your memory board. We have also included ideas of what could be glorious high points in your lives. However, feel free to add on other monumental moments in your life on it. Life is not simply one-size-fits-all. It is meant to be personalized. But we want you to be a part of it too!

 

Even though memories are not tangible, but there are ways to make them concrete. Snap some pictures! You may not feel like posing now, but whatever facial expression end up on the screen could be the resounding anthem or mascot of the activity that you are in. Not to mention, some of the most epic pictures are those unplanned! Those candid pictures never disappoint capturing the uninhibited spirit of the moment. And remember the spotlight of the pictures is not the ‘what’ or ‘where’, it’s the ‘who’. Have fun and enjoy yourselves! Laugh out loud like you just won the lottery!

 

Hold on, you are almost there! After you strike that fierce pose, you need to print it out and paste it on your memory board. Let those pictures be the proof of your investment in the people that you love spending time with. Doodle something fun on the memory board, put dates kn the pictures to remind you to celebrate those moments again in the future. Be creative and make it your own! Now you have your own customized map of your life. Hang it up at your most favorite nook in your home or workplace. Each time you feel blue, you know just where to glance over to get a little dose of sweet remedy to cheer you back up!
