One-ish more thing(s)
before today’s gift ideas
Thank you to everyone who submitted gift stories! Please keep them coming.
Gift idea time! Here’s a story of a
great gift to spark your creativity
The “home memories floorplan" Gift:
My fiancée surprised me with a cute hand-drawn blueprint of our first apartment
Why this gift is great
Budget-friendly
Celebrates the relationship
One-of-a-kind and deeply personal keepsake
The floorplan itself is cool, but what makes this special is they labeled locations/items of importance (e.g. “Our first I Love You” on the couch, the ring for where their proposal occurred, etc.)
Brainstorming your version of this gift
In the floorplan, be sure to include:
Locations of significant events
Items of significance
Inside jokes
If you don’t want to create/draw the floorplan yourself:
Hire someone (like this Etsy seller or these vendors on Fiverr)
Check out this awesome custom 3D printed table top floor plan
Consider free online blueprint tools (Roomsketcher, Planner 5D, Floorplanner)
Alternative map version of this gift:
Create your own map of a city/location of importance and label all the locations of significance (first date restaurant, location of a speeding ticket, etc.)
You could also just buy a map of the city and draw/write on it
This gift isn’t just for significant others!
Family members would love a floorplan of your childhood home that features your shared memories
Friends/roommates (past/present) would cherish this gift (think dorm room, apartments with friends, etc.)
Co-worker friends might also be excited to receive a floorplan of your shared workspace (possible good gift to a group)
This gift is similar to 🎁 Love It or List It or Frame It and 🎁 the “street signs" gift

Subscribers’ own versions
of BGC gifts
Because I always encourage inside joke gifts (such as 🎁 The “frame an inside joke" Gift), I wanted to share this subscriber’s gift story:
My friend Mike and I worked together and would give each other a hard time about many things. He gave me a gift basket full of inside jokes: Reese’s Cups, a miniature Camaro, a coffee mug with the photo of a Rottweiler on it, and a little hand drawn picture of a “warning: Nissan Sentra.” Inexpensive, thoughtful, and personal.
