When you love, you want romance to be in everything. Men give flowers to their lovers. Women try to choose something as a gift that will speak of their care and love for their chosen one. But romance isn’t just about meaningful gifts. I would like to make ordinary things so that everything in them seems sweet and gentle to a loved one.
