Elaborate gift… and a great story! Sounds like there’s a short film just in the montage of those key photos…
The best present I ever got was a treasure hunt. It started when I received a mysterious Facebook friend request from “Lil Key”. And then a series of photos showing this little key appearing in places all over Sydney. It soon became clear that these places were ones of significance with my girlfriend at the time.
See this one: http://s173.photobucket.com/albums/w71/juzmcmuz/?action=view¤t=198407_1003849171294_1076813457_21549_3677_n.jpg
Over a period of several days, the photos kept coming, and then some clues that led me to a small blue security box… which was locked. So the hunt was on for the little key. Eventually, I received a clue that the little key was at a cafe where we’d first properly met. I raced to the cafe before it closed, picked up the key from the bemused guy behind the counter.
And sure enough… the little key was the key to the security box. The contents of which will remain secret 😉
