A gift that won't end up in a drawer
Flowers wilt in three days, perfume goes unworn, a plush toy ends up on the wardrobe. PichObraz is a different league — funny, lightly cheeky and, above all, unforgettable.
It's a funny, lightly cheeky gift not only for women: a book full of vulvas and vaginas in every form, waiting for the two of you to color it in. It breaks the ice, eases tension and who knows where the evening goes.
Why an experiential gift wins (science says so too)
It's not just our feeling. What matters on a gift is less the price and more whether it brings an experience. a study in the Journal of Consumer Research (Chan & Mogilner, 2016) compared experiential and material gifts and found the experiential ones strengthen the bond between giver and receiver more — they stir stronger emotions, and those connect.
And PichObraz is exactly this type. It's not a thing for the display cabinet but a trigger for an experience: a shared evening, pencils, laughter and who knows where it goes. A gift you remember — not flowers that end up in the bin in three days.
How to wrap the gift so it surprises
Half the impression is in how the gift looks. Even a great coloring book loses its charm handed over in a plastic bag — and conversely even a trifle wrapped with wit looks thought-through.
Reach for neutral or deliberately kitschy paper — depending on whether you want to surprise with the contents or make a joke out of the wrapping itself.
Throw in some pencils. When the recipient has something to start with right away, the gift works immediately. It's a small extra touch that makes a big difference.
Don't forget a note. A few personal lines or a funny card lift the gift from ‘I bought something’ to ‘I thought of you’. That's exactly what people remember.
Want an effect? Wrap it in several layers or add a false trail — a big box, a small book inside. Unwrapping becomes part of the fun.
In short, a little care in the wrapping says more than the price. And with a gift meant mainly to make someone laugh, form is half the point.
What if you're afraid of the reaction
A lightly cheeky gift has one risk: what if the recipient takes offense instead of laughing? That worry is understandable, but you can work with it cleverly.
First answer who you're actually giving to. Do you share humor and not mince words? Then PichObraz is a hit. Is she rather uptight and shy? Consider something gentler.
Framing helps too. When you hand the gift over with a smile and the words ‘I know it sounds crazy, but…’, you signal it's about fun and perspective, not cheek.
Consider the situation too. Between the two of you, more passes than in front of the whole family at the Christmas table. The audience decides almost as much as the gift itself.
And if the first reaction is awkwardness, don't panic. Often the initial ‘have you lost it’ turns into laughter in a moment. A bold gift just needs a while.
In short, a bit of judgment is enough. When you know your person, you can tell whether this is their kind of thing — and then you needn't be afraid.
Valentine's without kitsch: a few extra tips
A coloring book is a great base, but Valentine's can be de-kitsched around it too. It's about swapping the obligatory clichés for something that suits you both.
Instead of an overpriced restaurant, try dinner at home from delivery, in several cuisines and in pajamas. More honest, cheaper and nobody pretends the pasta changed their life.
Bet on a shared experience, not a thing. Coloring, a game, a walk, cooking together — anything where you're truly together beats another unworn perfume.
Exaggeration is your friend. A funny gift or a deliberately anti-romantic card says ‘I take us seriously, but not deadly seriously’ — and that's often the loveliest confession.
You don't have to wait for February 14th. A little surprise on an ordinary day, when nobody expects it, pleases far more than a dutiful gesture on demand.
The point? Valentine's isn't about fulfilling a scenario from an ad. It's about giving joy your own way — and a cheeky coloring book fits that better than flowers destined for the bin.
Tip: Not sure the recipient has pencils? Throw some in. A set like Maped Color'Peps (24 pcs) covers plenty of shades — so they can start right away.

Will I make it in time for Valentine's? +
