Quick answer: at Christmas, the best gift for your girlfriend or boyfriend is the one that holds something that is only yours: the song that is yours, the photo from that day, the date it all began. At iFrame.pt the most-given gifts between couples are the light plaque with your song, the plaque with three memories and a dedication, and the portrait of the two of you drawn by hand. Here are the ten people choose most, in this order. Orders by 21 December arrive in time in mainland Portugal; colour portraits by the 18th.
Christmas as a couple has one particularity: the gift is opened in front of the family. It's the aunt asking "and what did he give you?", the grandmother who wants to see, the brother who teases. A catalogue gift passes. A gift with your photo, your song or your names stays. And it stays in her or his home too, lit on the bedside table, all year long.
1. Spotify plaque with the song that is yours
The song from the first kiss, the one she always plays in the car, the one you sang on a trip. Choose the photo, choose the song, and when someone points their phone at the code it starts to play. It's the most-given Christmas gift between couples at iFrame.pt.

2. Plaque with 3 memories of your year
Three photos from this year hanging on a string of light, and underneath a line written by you. It closes the year of the two of you: the trip, the day you met the parents, the silly photo only you two find funny.
→ Plaque with 3 Polaroid Memories & Dedication
3. Frame with your hand-drawn portrait
Your favourite photo turned into a portrait full of colour by our illustrators, with your names and the date. It's the gift he or she will show everyone at Christmas dinner. Note: colour portraits must be ordered by 18 December.
→ Personalised Colour Portrait Frame
4. Plaque with your photo and your phrase
One photo, one phrase, one light on every night. The phrase can be what you never said out loud. It's the simplest of the ten and one of the most moving.
→ Personalised Phrase & Photo Plaque
5. Plaque with your names and the day it all began
Both names, a heart with the photo and the calendar of the month you started, with the day marked. For a first Christmas together it's the right gift: it says "I remember" without needing more words.
6. Necklace with your engraved portrait
The portrait of the two of you drawn line by line and engraved on a gold, silver or rose gold pendant. For the girlfriend who wears jewellery every day and wants to carry you on her chest.
→ Personalised Line Art Portrait Necklace
7. Hoodie with your embroidered portrait
Send a photo of the two of you and our illustrators turn it into a single-line drawing, embroidered on the chest, with your date on the sleeve. For him, who lives in hoodies; for her, who steals yours. Also available as a sweatshirt.
→ Personalised Line Art Portrait Hoodie
8. Plaque with the maps of your two cities
For long-distance couples, or for those who met in one city and live in another. A heart made from the maps of both places and your names underneath. No photo needed.
→ Personalised "Distance Means So Little" Maps Plaque
9. Netflix-style plaque with your story
Your relationship as if it were a series: title, synopsis written by you and four photos. For the couple who spends winter nights watching series on the sofa.
→ Netflix-Style Plaque with 4 Photos
10. Frame with the calendar of your month
The photo in a heart, three polaroids and the calendar of the month you started, with the day marked, in a frame for the wall. For homes where a light plaque wouldn't have a place.
→ Month Calendar Frame with Special Date
