If you’ve got a lot of time on your hands, then this DIY love letter idea is worth a try. Make a box out of cardboard with compartments or drawers. Each compartment will hold a letter. For example, if your anniversary is due in two weeks, consider making a box with 14 compartments to hold the same number of letters. Or you could just make a box with a few compartments. There’s no right or wrong way to go about this.
Make reprints of your favorite photos of you and your partner. Compile them in an album, where each photo opens up to reveal a short love letter. Consider including a QR code that leads to a shared online album where your partner can access a curated photo collection.
Fill a box with your partner’s favorite things, whether it’s food or art materials. Then, make a pocket on the inside of the front panel so you can insert your love letter.
Make an “explosion” box using this template from Jennifer Maker. What makes this DIY love letter idea so great is that, while it can be a bit time-consuming, it gives you plenty of room to express yourself. The box includes several pockets where you can stash away notes, letters, and trinkets. Plus, the middle part is perfect if you want to include a sweet gift. It’s like an advent calendar in box form.
