I think that's a great gift. I give it a 9. It's thoughtful and something unique to you two. You can't buy this at the store.
I'm a woman. I'd love this as a gift but he doesn't keep a diary. He has written love letters though. Those are great gifts too.

You have to tell us her reaction if you give this gift.

I think it would be an awesome tribute to the last 10 yrs of your life together. It took time to collect information and it was truly a gift from your heart. I would love it and would probably start to cry if I was given a gift like that. Most men would not be as creative and thoughful.
I never get gifts. Its just something we don't feel is necessary and we dot want to spend our $ on mmaterial possesions. Its all about being together and celebrating your time together. What better way to do that than a pictorial and heartfelt gift like you are giving her. Congratulations!

I think it is a truely unique gift... I have but one thought... what would be the purpose of giving her something she should already know, and have experienced? Would not every entry in the diary be already told to her, shown to her, experienced by her through the years? I can imagine that it would be a sweet trip down memory lane for the both of you.

The one aspect of this that I truly admire is that this gift is truely from your heart and soul if you have kept a journal through all those years. Makes me believe that you are a writer. If I can just put in a suggestion... and if you have the time... write a novel based upon your journals... your own unique story... I'm sure she would pick up on it!

Will there be a diamond necklace inside?

I'm so kidding.

But I don't know about the gift. When I read this, I didn't think "awwww",but i wasn't turned off either.

I would love if Hubs wrote me a heartfelt love letter though.

I would love a gift like that! Very thoughtful and unique. If only my husband thought along the same lines as you!! haha. Please let us know how she reacts when you give it to her.

Depends on how loving the past ten years were... Maybe in a little gift bag, with some popcorn, chocolate, coffee and bubble bath!

I would be blown away. My first thought was, this man took the time, and effort to do this for his lady, WOW!!! Gifts from the heart always outdo material gifts for me anyways.

Well this diary has all entries which are from my point of view, so maybe she would love to read how those 10 years were from my point of view, well this diary is kind of my side of the story!

My husband and I keep a notebook/journal of sorts that I started. The reason why I keep it is because I write about something that is fresh in my memory and we talk about it before I write it now so that both of our raw feelings of something memorable is there for us to reflect back on later in our lives.

So, for me, your gift would be a 10. I would LOVE it.

I would suggest though...slipping in a small translucent envelope with a beautiful piece of jewelry that is taped (use double sided clear tape) to a page where you wrote about something beautiful about your life together as a further romantic gesture. Just a thought.

I think it's a wonderful gift. It would be like reading 10 years of love letters (as long as it's all the good stuff).

Did you compose it all at once, or have you been writing it for 10 years?
