If you read this post from a few weeks ago, you'll hopefully have been inspired to plan a little day trip for the two of you. And what better way to give your girlfriend a lasting memory of a triumphant day (she's got to be impressed by your surprise trip!) than by a secretly purchased/found souvenir.
If you took a trip to the seaside then why not pick up a shell or a pebble or even a postcard. If you take a trip to a bird sanctuary or zoo and find a pretty feather, that would make a beautiful present too. If you take a trip to the park, a leaf would make a beautiful souvenir. If you find anywhere with a gift shop then something with the name of the attraction on would, I'm sure, be loved. If you can't find a gift shop, then get creative. Pick up something that you find along the way when she's not looking and pop it in your pocket. Then, when you get home, give it to her as a memento of your day and the fun you had.
You could even write the date on it with something to jog her memory in the future. Or try and get a picture of the two of you with it on your trip and get it printed later to give to her with the present. The picture below (sorry about the quality!) is a memento from a trip with Mr. Love From Lila to the beach which I gave to him when we got home - he loved it too (if I do say so myself)! If you read regularly, you might remember this post about starting a collection for her. Why not make mementos of your days out the collection? Postcards, shells, leaves or even dried flowers would make great collections. If you buy a nice photo album or something similar to put them in, then I'm sure she'll be even more impressed!
Love from lila xx
