A Gift For Your Husband, Made From Your Texts
Print the texts. Years of messages between the two of you, in order, with your names beside them, in one book or in numbered volumes if it runs long.
What do you get a husband who buys everything he wants himself?
Get him the one thing he cannot order, which is your conversation printed as a book. Every text the two of you sent is set in order with each name beside it. It works for a birthday, an anniversary or no occasion at all.
Will ten years of texts fit in one book?
It may take more than one, and that is fine. 700 pages are included in every book, and a longer conversation carries on in a second book as numbered volumes. You see how many books yours makes before you pay, and a further volume costs less than the first.
Can I print only the years before the kids, or only the first year?
Yes, you can make the book from a stretch of dates. Pick the start and the end when you make it. The rest of the conversation stays where it is.
Most of our texts are about groceries and pickups, so is it still worth printing?
Yes, and you decide how much of that stays. Nothing is left out unless you take it out, and you look through every page before it prints. The errands are what most of a marriage sounds like, which is an argument for keeping them.
What if the early texts are on a phone I no longer use?
A backup of that phone on a computer can be read. A phone that will not turn on and was never backed up to a computer cannot. His phone holds the same conversation, though asking for it spoils the surprise. The old phone guide has the steps.
How much does it cost and how long does it take?
The paperback is $49 and the hardcover is $89, with free US shipping. A printed book arrives about two weeks after you approve it, and no delivery date is promised. The digital edition comes with it and arrives the same day.
