This is a story about Jasper. Jasper is in love with his girlfriend, Zara. Jasper is going off to college, while Zara continues her high school journey. So Jasper makes Zara this amazing photo album of their relationship. Zara posts it on Twitter. World goes bananas over it.

That's the CliffsNotes version of this love story; we don't know much else, but Bustle has reached out to Zara for comment and will update if/when we hear back. What we do know is that this sweet young man wanted to give his girlfriend a beautiful, thoughtful gift, honoring their relationship and showing her how much he cares. So he crafted the most creative photo album gift I've ever seen. (Cosmopolitan UK is referring to it as an "explosion box.") It's like a pop-up book of love. It's got little tabs you pull on to reveal surprise photos, hidden pics in tiny, sparkly envelopes, and one last surprise in the box in the middle. (No, it's not an engagement ring.) The gift is so cleverly constructed, and I would probably melt into a puddle of goo if my boyfriend gave me one (*cough* hint).

Check out the gift below in the video Zara recently posted to Twitter:

(P.S. Doesn't the music complement the video perfectly?)

I remember all too well friends who were in relationships while one was in high school and the other in college; it's not the easiest thing in the world. But based on this too-precious-for-words gift, Jasper and Zara know exactly what they're doing.

At the time of this writing, Zara's tweet has racked up over 13,000 likes and over 7,000 retweets. Meanwhile, the picture of my dog in a cowboy hat that I posted on Instagram has... never mind.
