šŸŽTHE GIFT:

"The Frequent Flyer Gift on Autopilot"

My boyfriend travels a lot for work. After some time together, he heard me express my love for storage products. Iā€™m really into them. One day, when he was at a street market in some far-off land, he spotted a palm-sized, simple box with decorative patterns common to the region. He remembered my past words about containers, bought it, and presented it to me upon his arrival home. My glee at the gift was beyond anything he had experienced prior. From then on, when possible, he has repeated the act for subsequent regions of travel. The containers were useful, personalized to me, and became a fun routine we shared. Moreover, they are sentimental - through these tangible objects and his consideration of me in choosing them, I feel connected to him even when we were separated by distance.
