Wh... who puts their own photo in a heart locket..?
So, it looks like that thread was nuked, and I only can reply to this because it was in my notifications. Weird how tripping through history is so sensitive about some light hearted stuff. Anyways...
Often someone will buy a locket, put their picture in it, then add a picture of someone they love. They either then wear it as a sign of that relationship, or gift it to the other person. Most of these lockets are not made by a third party and gifted to someone in the relationship, from someone outside of it. Sometimes there is only one person in the locket, and some sentimental writing, or something, on the other side, but the vast majority is two people, honoring some sort of relationship between the two.
Who else am I supposed to put in it?
