Our Memory Box – A Romantic Gift
February 4, 2012 by Shelley
Every year for Christmas, my husband and I exchange one “treasure” gift. This year, I totally won the sentimental contest. {whoot, whoot!} 
-I didn’t do a post on it, but it was peeking out in a picture from the post I just did on his Valentine’s gift. Do you see it?!!
It is the most beautiful Memory Box to hold all of our sweetest treasures. I spotted these “Memory Keepers” on Paper Coterie and knew it would be the perfect, unbeatable, sentimental gift.
You see, ever since we met, I’ve kept little treasures of our relationship. These little treasures include: love notes, concert tickets, pictures, cards, etc. -These “little” treasures have added up to quite the pile, or should I say FILE, over the years. Ahhhh!!!
This sweet Memory Keeper has solved my “file” problem, and now I have a gorgeous box of treasures.
Do you see one of my favorite treasures in there? Can’t beat a good ole’ fashioned candy gram.
I love that you can create and preview all of your Paper Coterie creations, before purchasing them.
I just love how my memory box turned out. Makes me smile every time I look at it. It makes me smile even more when I go through what’s inside of it. 
While organizing our memories, I found a little piece of paper with my husband’s telephone # on it. Brought back a lot of memories.

What a cool box and a fun tradition! I might need to get one of those for all the things I’ve kept, too. Great idea. And WOW, how kind of Paper Coteire for giving us $30! I’m so excited to go find something great!!
Need something bigger for all of your wedding, baby, or special occasion keepsakes? Check out my website http://www.staciedaledesigns.com . We’ll even sell you a blank keepsake box or chest if you want to follow Shelley’s lead and make your own!
Thanks to HowDoesShe and PaperCoterie! I made a growth chart for my daughter and only had to pay shipping. Thanks mucho!
Your tweet talks about the kitchen-aid winners, but brought me here. Where do I find out who won? Thanks.
Thank you! I just want to say I saw in one of the photos your poem/letter using the conversation hearts candies! Love it! I usually have my students create poems using those candies as a Valentine’s Day assignment, and they always turn out so well!
Question: What web browser do you use? For some reason, I am having a hard time using their website. Maybe I need to use a different browser?
This is FANTASTIC! I started a project last fall when the last Paper Coterie deal was on, but I never finished and was devastated that my book would never get printed. Thank you, HDS and Paper Coterie, because now I can finish my book!
HA! I’m Not the only one on this Planet that KEEPS all that STUFF!
My “pile” isn’t as tall as yours… but I’ve got one! AWESOME Idea! Thanks for Sharing Shelley!
Thanks! I shared this on my blog: http://momsbyheart.net/paper-coterie-code-free-30-credit/
Thanks for sharing.
Feel free to spread the love. 
Great idea!!! I love the Paper Coteire!!! Thanks for the opportunity!!!
that is just so kind and generous of you!!! Thanks so much for this and for all you bring into my life towards, creativity, learning and online kinship!!!
OH MY! I just ordered two hardcover notebooks! Can’t wait to get them! Thank you so much! I look forward to ordering with you again as these will make amazing SMASH books!!!
Awesome! Thank you!
Wouldn’t this make the best gift for newlyweds or even anniversaries. Even us that have been married forever would be a terrific idea. I sure would love one.
My husband and I will be celebrating our five year anniversary this year and I would love to make him one of these! What an awesome idea. Love it!
Last time Howdoesshe gave away $30 to Paper Coterie I used it to get a gift certificate and then when I tried to use the gift certificate it didn’t work. When I contacted them they said, “The gift card was purchased using a promotional code which is not allowed so it was canceled.” I hope it works this time.
Try ordering a product (not gift certificate). You should have no problems as long as your order is $30 or more.
-Please let us know if you do. They are truly a wonderful company to work with. We will contact them personally if it’s not working for you.
Just ordered my new journal!!! Thanks so much!!!
Thank you so much for this! My sister’s bday is coming up and this is the perfect time to make something to add to her presents.
What a wonderful deal! Thanks for letting us know! I was just looking at Paper Coterie’s website yesterday drooling. $30 off is just too irresistible!

Wow,what a great book!
I love this idea! My husband and I have literally know each other since we were 4 years old and as we got older kept in contact through letters and cards. Granted, we were just friends and did not start dating until we were in our 20s. I always thought it would be nice to combine our stashes of mementos as a kind of chronicle of how our friendship and romance grew.
Hey Shelley! I just wanted to say thank you for the promo code! I LOVE your blog!!
Thank you! I have been trying to decide whether to make one of their lovely photo books or a memory keeper for a week now…the memory keeper won out! Thanks again! I can’t wait to get it in the mail!
I am very excited to have used this credit, and to think, I chose to follow your blog only because of your creativity!

Thank you SO much for this! I was able to make my daughter a VERY special Journal for her Baptism coming up in just a couple months. I also made one for my husband for Father’s Day. Thank you Thank you a million times over, they are going to be such a special treasure for them both!
Thank you for the Free gift! I just ordered 2 beautiful journals
I was so excited to see this, and I ended up creating the Polaroid Heart poster for our room in the 20×30 size. I am currently in the works of redesigning our room in a DIY, super low budget fashion…and this was perfect! I only had to pay for shipping…and that poster is going to look amazing framed above our bed! Thanks so much for the $30 code!!
Thank you for the amazing coupon code! I used mine last night- it was my first time using Paper Coterie. I LOVE the variety of projects they offer…I’m eagerly awaiting my project in the mail!
Paper Coterie is a great site, thanks so much for the code! I made a photo book for my son and have ordered a Memory Box in the past, they are wonderful! Thanks again!
This is just what i needed! I’m so glad i found this just in time. Thank you so much! I love the memory box idea! So cute!
Thanks so much! I just ordered journals for each of my kids’ Easter baskets! I’m hoping as they’re getting older and don’t want to talk to Mommy as much, they can still keep a journal going with me so we can write back and forth!
Of course I waited until the last minute. The website is having trouble and only displays Valentine’s day cards (no other cards). I contacted them this morning about it and haven’t heard anything from them. Any chance the can extend the coupon code until their site is fixed?
Thanks for this! I just made a growth chart and I’m really excited to get it! That’s really awesome of Paper Coterie!
I don’t mean to be ungrateful for a lovely gift like this, but the shipping is a bit high in my opinion. If that is how much they are being charged, then they should look into more affordable options. I love their “One That I Love” series and was considering doing more from that line, until I saw the shipping costs. Adding that to the regular price of the item makes it not worth it to me. They have lovely products though.
