So you have planned and done a boudoir shoot secretly and now all that’s left is the surprise element of how to turn it into a gift for your better half! Here’s how.
Boudoir Gifting Ideas
Many people get boudoir shoots done for their own selves. But many do it as a surprise gift for their partners too! You can get pretty creative with how you go about it. Here are a few options.
Photo Albums
The fantastic thing about photo albums or photo books as we modern people call them, is that, they are not the boring cheesy albums we used to have as children. These days, photo albums are highly customizable and can be made for any occasion. You can even add a favorite quote or song lyric, perhaps a meaningful poem or even your wedding vows. It’s basically a scrap book with a lot of photos. You can even purchase pocket sized versions for the traveling guy in your life. or the large sizes ones to keep in the bedside table drawer. Give it to your love while wearing one of the outfits from the shoot and let him unwrap you!
Canvas or Metal Prints
Whether they are decorative 24×17 size prints or the larger than life sized prints, they sure look good when displayed. Choose a photo that you want to proudly display. It also should be one that you don’t mind the occasional person who you’ve allowed to enter your bedroom/closet/master bath to see. It could be something where you are not recognisable, and you choose who you share the info with about the print being yours. Or it could be something where you ARE showing off your body to anyone who chances upon it, depending on your social relationships. Canvas and metal prints are great and look fantastic printed as sets of two (diptych) or three (triptych) or more, and they come in a variety of sizes.
A Pen Drive
If your better half is constantly on his computer, or just a techie in general, a customizable pen drive is a great, low budget and practical gift. Is he an Avid reader? Sneak a tiny printed postcard into the next chapter of his book or behind the first fold of the newspaper. Or in the gym bag, or in a clothes drawer or in his shaving kit. The possibilities are endless, and the surprise of wondering when he’ll find the next one is worth it.
Keepsake Box
Matted silk prints give the photos that extra “oomph”. Keep a small sized collection in a luxurious keepsake box from which images can be pulled out on a whim. They serve as a reminder of how beautiful you are and how lucky he is. The two of you knowing what is inside the keepsake box, while having this secret from others is quite exciting.
Consider gifting him a shoot
If you still haven’t done the shoot, consider gifting him a couple shoot along with you. You can arrange everything and surprise him with a glamorous day out where he just has to turn up and be a part of the shoot with you.
