- (Two months away from said birthday) "I have plenty of time! No need to worry about it now."
- (One month away away from said birthday) "I have plenty of time! No need to worry about it now."
- (One week away from said birthday, I am definitely in denial by this point) "I have some time! No need to worry... right?"
- (Day before said birthday) "Oh crap".
You'd think after years and years of leaving everyones presents to the last minute I would have learnt by now. Perhaps I would even see something that someone would like (when it was no where near their birthday) and buy it, just so that I would definitely have something thoughtful for them by the time their birthday finally rolls around. Nope, not me.
Anyway, this year Matt ended up getting two lamps. Yep, you heard me, two lamps. In my defence they were given to him upon his request as he is in the process of building a house. But basically it may be the most lame, thoughtless gift I could have given him, just behind a gift card. I decided that I needed more of a personal touch and began my quest online (of course). It wasn't long before I stumbled upon a cute website that sold mini projectors that could project images chosen by you. It was very affordable and I thought would be the perfect thing to add that personal touch to my seemingly impersonal lamps. It also had the perfect amount of corniness (is that a word?) but wasn't too over the top.

The wheel that you personalise. Choose images from your instagram and hey presto!
So there you have it, a simple yet sweet present idea for your boyfriend, girlfriend, best friend, or anyone really! The projectors are available from https://www.getprojecteo.com
Hope this post helped any fellow clueless gift givers and to the rest of you, see you next time!
