I'm thinking of making a senbazuru for by boyfriend as our first anniversary gift but I'm not sure if it's appropriate. I know its usually given to couples as a marriage gift, but yeah...does it seem too much?Btw a senbazuru is 1000 paper Cranes strung together.Thanks for the help!
It does seem like too much because it's a big time consumer to make it--takes hours upon hours upon hours. An average of 1 crane made every 5 minutes would result in 83.3 hours nonstop of crane making. That's off-putting. Alternatively it would be like him giving you a $600+ ring because he worked 83.3 hours at his $8/hr job. It's just weird to put in that much time for a 1st year anniversary.
You could but it's a waste of time and it isn't really keepable.. No offence intended but it'll just be an extra mess. Give him something he can keep and plus you'll waste your time if you guys ever break up. However, it can also be a good luck for him and it's a good gift considering you put so much effort in it
Wow..it's cool. People said that anyone who folds 1000 paper cranes will have eternal good luck. Your boyfriend is so lucky to have you.
