Christmas gift ideas for your husband (if you met online)

Give him the one thing he didn't think of adding to his wishlist: the story of how you met transformed into a keepsake. It's the perfect gift that nobody else can give to him.

The ideas

1. The conversation where it started

Your first messages are sitting in an app, or in a download you can get in a few minutes. Our Matchbook turns them into a keepsake: both of your dating profiles, the prompts that started it, and the whole first conversation, message by message. Print a QR card for his stocking or, with a Matchbook, schedule it to be delivered to his email Christmas morning.

How to get your conversation: Hinge, Tinder, Bumble, Match.

2. His opening line, on something he'll use

Was his first message clever, awkward or just "hey"? Put it on a mug, a coaster or the inside of a card, with the date. He'll pretend to be embarrassed but he'll keep it forever.

3. The first date, with tickets

If your first date was a game, a show or a bar, get tickets or a booking to do it again. Wrap them with a printout of the message where you agreed to meet.

4. A watch or a keychain, engraved

Engrave the date you met or matched. It's a private joke only the two of you will get.

Common questions

What do you get a husband who has everything?

Something that can't be bought off a shelf: your first conversation as a keepsake, his opening line on something he uses every day, or your first date done again.

Can I give it as a surprise?

Yes. You can make a Matchbook from your own data without him knowing, and he can add his side of the conversation afterwards.

How long does it take to make?

Asking the app for your data takes a few minutes, and it usually arrives within a day or two. Building the Matchbook takes minutes once you have it.
