Clocks

For my boyfriend’s and my one year anniversary I got the idea of making a clock. I’ve seen backwards running clocks like this available online. http://www.thebackwardsclock.com/

I want to create my own clock face for it in Photoshop and get it printed at a professional printer. I’ll spray paint the frame silver. It will have a stylized photo of us in the background (faded), roman numerals for time, and the following quote at the bottom in a fancy script:

"Love is the emblem of eternity; it confounds all notion of time: effaces all memory of a beginning, all fear of an end."
-Madame de Stael

I’ll wrap it in a nice box with silver paper and blue (his favorite color) ribbon, and pack it with blue tulle. I also plan on including a letter, but that will be separate.

What do you think? Is this a good idea or is it too cheesy? Any additional ideas or suggestions?
I should add, the clock still tells time because the numbers are reversed. So it’s not useless or anything.
Hopefully he’ll like it. When he graduated Marine Corps Officer Candidate School I got him something that he didn’t "get".

We had gone out to eat at a chinese place with his grandparents right before he left and all of our fortunes were about courage (fitting since he was leaving for OCS in two days). I saved the fortunes and had them framed with the Eagle, Globe, and Anchor in the background. He was like, "It’s cool, but why’d you type it on those tiny pieces of paper?"

His mom liked it, though.

I think this is really original and not something a lot of people would think of. I think he’ll love it. Kudos on being super creative. If he doesn’t appreciate it, then he’s an idiot.
Awesome idea. =]

I’m trying to decide to get my wife a small Frank Lloyd Wright clock or should I go the traditional route of paper. Is it better to go traditional or modern?
Money is out of the question as it is very impersonal on top of that money is real tight right now.

Depends on your wife’s likes/dislikes. Do you think she might keep the clock somewhere to get dusty and forget about it by this time next year or do you know the perfect place for it. Paper might be more versatile. Again, do whatever you think she’ll have a preference for.

My 1 year wedding anniversary is coming up and I have no idea what to get my husband. It’s been a very eventful year, with the birth of our second child just 7 weeks ago. I know the traditional gift is paper or a clock,, but I can’t think of anything original. I’m not really leaning toward the traditional gifts, so I’m open to anything. Please help!!!
