<human>: Give me a shortened version of the text

Hello All - I have come up with a general idea for a gift I want to put together for my boyfriend who is turning 30. My idea is to reach out to 30 different people in his life and have them submit something - whether it be a memory with him, why they like him, a picture, etc. and then put the whole thing together in a book. I just want suggestions and advice on how best to go about this - should i only ask for memories? should i leave it open ended? should i email people? facebook? any creative ideas to add to this idea?
