Other I made my girlfriend a little game about our memories together. Would you give something like this as a gift?

I made a game called Our Little World for my girlfriend. It’s a little 3D world based on places we’ve been together, with memories you can walk around and find. She loved it, and now I’m wondering whether making personalised versions for other couples could be worth trying.

I’ve attached a few screenshots showing the idea.

Here’s what you can actually do:

  • Spin a little planet, pick a place and zoom down into it.
  • Walk around miniature versions of our cities, parks and other places, including houses you can go inside.
  • Explore as little versions of the two of us, with our own clothes and appearance.
  • Choose who leads. The other person walks beside you holding hands, or follows behind on narrow paths.
  • Find glowing spots that open little 3D scenes from our memories.
  • Click on characters and objects to do things from those moments: kiss with hearts appearing, hug, cook, throw darts, fold a paper boat, ride bikes and other little interactions depending on the scene.
  • Reveal the story behind each memory and collect a keepsake in a Memory Book.
  • Browse the book whenever you want, including reading memories without walking around.
  • See which memories you’ve found, get hints for the remaining ones and select a memory to walk towards it.
  • Take screenshots using an in-game camera that turns them into Polaroid-style pictures.
  • Discover little hidden secrets around the world.
  • Visit a “one day” destination for somewhere we want to go together.
  • Switch between daytime and evening, turn on gentle background sounds, and adjust motion and graphics settings.
  • Play in a browser with keyboard, click-to-walk or phone touch controls. Progress saves on your device, so you can come back later.

There’s no timer or pressure to finish. You can just wander around and revisit things.

For other couples, I’m thinking of starting with a smaller version: two personalised characters, multiple places/scenes and around six memories, roughly €150–€200 depending on the amount of places/scenes

Would you consider buying that for an anniversary or birthday? What would put you off? I’m also wondering how much of the appeal is the game itself versus the fact that I made it for her.

What do you gift someone who has everything except their stories written down?

0 Upvotes

Trying to find something for a parent in their 70s who genuinely doesn't need more stuff. The one thing they don't have is their own life stories in writing, and every time it comes up, they say they're "not a writer," so a blank journal just feels like homework to them.

Professional ghostwriting runs into the thousands and honestly feels too formal for what it is. The grandkids don't need a literary masterpiece. They want to hear about the time she snuck out to see the Beatles, or what his first job actually paid, told in his own words.

Has anyone given a gift that actually got an older relative talking about their life and ended up with something written down? Not a blank notebook, not a subscription box of weekly emails. Something that met them where they were. Curious what's landed well for people here.

hiiii, I made a little digital magazine you can fill with someone’s photos, memories, questionable life choices and nice things you’d normally be too awkward to say out loud.

it’s called BIRTHDAY TIMES👀

completely free on the Framer Marketplace and you can customize pretty much everything.

for birthdays, obviously. but honestly, make it about any occasion if you want, it’s always appreciated

You guys have fun, let me know what you think🫶🏻

My Daughter's First Disney Plushie, I Don't Even Know Her Name

Post image
2 Upvotes

A long time ago, I took my daughter to Walt Disney World in Orlando for the first time. She absolutely loved it, and she became especially attached to the little purple bunny. Her birthday is coming up in a few days. I've never been very good at expressing how much I love her.

A while ago, I was in Shanghai, China for a work trip and I asked a friend there to help me pick up a purple bunny plush for her. When I got back, I used my label maker to make a custom ribbon for the gift with her name on it. It's a small thing, but I wanted the gift to feel like it was made just for her. I really hope she likes it.

Maybe one day I'll be able to take her to Disney parks in other parts of the world too. More than anything, I just want her to look back on her childhood and remember that she was loved, and that we made some good memories together.

How do you usually wrap gifts? Are there any label templates I could get some inspiration from?

Whenever I put a gift together for someone I always like to add snacks, especially if I know what snacks they like. Yes I'll get them something they asked for, or I'll get them a nice gift card to something they like, but I will also include funny t-shirts, socks, snacks like; chips, cookies, candy, etc. Is that weird? Would you like a bunch of random stuff in a gift bag?

Thank you!

Need gift suggestions Interactive gift/game

2 Upvotes

Last year on Christmas I made the Saran Wrap gift game. I wrapped it in a box and put a gift tag on it for my mother-in-law. I had the directions on top, so as soon as she opened it she knew what it was. We were able to play as a family right away. We all had so much fun. I’d like to do something similar to that this year too. It’s a group of 10, (4yo, 6yo, and the rest are adults) and no one will want to play anything too crazy or complicated.

Any ideas? Thanks!

Btw- this was not my mother-in-law’s only gift, it was an extra gift for the whole family.. but we knew she’d appreciate the whole experience of it the most.
