    he's harder to buy for since he's so specific on whats his favourite at the minute,changes so much! He's into music (made mixed cd before) he's into film (not watching films,the making etc..) He's into photography (made photo collages and slideshows before,would love a projector he'd love that but don't have one) He's into programming,and computer software and hardware,gadgets etc... that's all I can think of ha

    Yeah he really liked it, I also stole some 'nerdy cards' from the internet and recreated them,then put them in a slideshow. I had videos of us playing on my laptop on mute,and had music playing on his laptop. I bought candles in tesco and lit them,and these amazing LED balloons from tesco too, He LOVED those, as you can imagine nerds would :p It all went way better than I could have imagined,having nooo money ha

    The love hearts took awhile,I did them as circles,it was much easier and made copies of each colour. He said they looked more real as circles anyway. I put drop shadows on them to make them stand out.

    Hope your valentines goes great! good luck x
