It is very hard getting things for somebody who has everything. Many times, I do have trouble thinking of what to get for the boy during "special occasions"... it is easy to just get items from his favourite shops like BAPE {huge fan btw!}, but I do like to put more effort into my gifts. Mainly because I expect the same from him hahaFortunately for me, the boy is somebody who appreciates handmade gifts as well. This Valentine's Day, I decided to make a simple artpiece with the help of my little girl...
I'm not a very artsy or crafty person, and this probably looks like something an elementary school kid can churn out, but I reckoned the boy will like our Tree of Love {as I call it heh} since it has a little something from two of his favourite girls. We really put our heart and love into it :)You know how you have heaps of random coloured drawings from your kids that you just can't bear to throw away? Well, I incorporated those drawings into our Tree of Love by punching cute Sakura shapes, and sticking them onto a the tree with branches made of our hand-prints!! Mine is the big one in the middle, and her two tiny hand-prints at the side *grins* Lil Pumpkin helped me to paint the greenish background onto the canvas too. She had a lot of fun!
I actually hid the Tree of Love and gave it to the boy only this morning as a surprise! I swear, I could almost see tears in his eyes :P

Love the pic on IG and your post too. I know what you mean about struggling to get something for someone who seems to have everything. This was a lovely idea. I'd like to do more crafting but hold back sometimes because of the clutter creates. Silly, huh?
