How many times have you found yourself trying to think of a truly memorable gift for someone’s milestone birthday, graduation, anniversary or new baby? And coming up empty handed.
I know I have. And, I’ve often resorted to giving the same ‘ole things.
Last year, I was invited to participate in a thoughtful group gift for a friend’s 40th birthday. All I needed to do was send the organizer a short message for our friend. She typed them all up and presented them in a beautiful box.
Boom…..a lifetime of memories, good times, inside jokes and loving sentiments came to life as our friend read them one by one. Can you just imagine how you’d feel? Touched. Overwhelmed. Loved.
Well, that organizer was Christina Geist and in collaboration with her business partner, Todd True, she has brought this simple yet powerful idea to the world in the form of Boombox!
Everything is done online. You start your project by selecting a box that reflects the style of your recipient. Invite those you want to participate, and they can even pass the invite along to others you may not know. Then, the team at Boombox takes over. They’ll follow up with everyone, format the messages and photos with a graphic designer’s eye and lovingly package everything for delivery to you or whomever you choose.
No two boxes will be the same. Each is a unique gift of love.
The only thing you might want to give along with the Boombox is a box of tissues…because there’s going to be a lot of tears. The good kind.
Elizabeth this is such a beautiful and memorable idea for a friend. A perfect keepsake, You always cheer me whenever I visit!!
