LOVE YOU LOVE ME

Bill Wall Leather LOVE YOU, LOVE ME

gift with love

Be it between family members, lovers, or friends, love takes all shapes. The word “love” is wonderful, but saying it aloud all the time can be embarrassing. Instead, you can express “love” by exchanging compliments more than usual or treat a cup of coffee to someone special. On a very special day, it’s a great idea to look at his/her eyes and say, “I love you” with a gift like a special accessory. It is a great opportunity to get to know your loved ones deeply by picking out a gift thinking about them. How about Bill Wall Leather for that person this year?

家族や恋人、友達同士。愛の形は人それぞれ。愛って言葉はとても素敵だけど、いつも口にするのはなんだか照れくさい。それならいつもよりたくさん褒め合ったり、コーヒーなんかをごちそうしたり、そんな些細なことでもいいのかも。でも、1年に1度の特別な日には面と向かって真っすぐに愛を伝えてみる。とっておきのアクセサリーなんか贈り合って。相手を想ってプレゼントを選ぶって、改めて大切な人のことを知れるいい機会だしね。今年はあの人にBill Wall Leatherなんてどうだろう。
