These were a gift for my Birthday. My favorite of all of the Roses. They are just so beautiful and I love them.
Photo Of Gift For Thank You Card
I make my own greeting cards. When someone gives me a gift, I will take a picture of it and make a thank you card with the picture of their gift on the front. It is always well received and fun.
This shirt case is perfect for a handkerchief or necktie. Write a message on a small label or card and place inside the case.
Cut wrapping paper large enough to go around the gift, and about 1 and a half inches longer than the bottom and 4 inches longer than the top. Roll paper around gift and tape in place. Fold the bottom of the paper over and tape in place.
Craft Project: Gift Card Holders
Recycled toilet paper rolls into a Gift Card holder. Flatten a toilet paper roll. Measure length and width. Cut 2 pieces of scrapbook paper the length and width of the flattened paper roll.
Craft Project: Stress Relief Gift Bottles
This kit includes everything the receiver needs to enjoy an evening of Stress Relief. And the trick is seeing how to get the goodies out of the inside.
Gift Baskets include: 2 cup ceramic teapot, 2 boxes herb tea, 1 jar clover honey, 2 hand knitted dish cloths, 2 homemade hot mitts1 homemade oven towel.
My niece and her husband just sold their home and followed their dreams to Manhattan. Knowing her space would be limited, as a going away gift I gave her a kitchy little vase and told her husband to keep it filled with the fresh flowers.
Craft: Make Wrapping Paper With Stickers
When you just can't find that perfect wrapping paper, use tissue paper and add some stickers. You children will love this!
Give joy to a little girl. Get her a doll that looks just like her! My granddaughter was thrilled!
Craft: Create Your Personal Food Tags
I just baked 2 lbs. of Classic Sugar Cookies, made a product tag and will attach it to the cookie tin. I took a picture of the cookies and created a tag using a Microsoft Document. I printed the tag on an adhesive mailing label attached it to a piece of thin cardboard, and cut it out using pinking shears.
Thrifty Gift: Brown Sugar Scrub
I used an empty jar of mushrooms as a container for a brown sugar scrub. The scrub recipe was brown sugar, baby oil, and body soap. After mixing, I poured into the mushroom jar, hot-glued a fabric scrap from my baby's receiving blanket on the lid, and used a CD label cut in half for my hand lettered label.
I have a second generation spider plant that has more babies on it than I know what to do with. So this year, I clipped a few and put them in water about a month or two ago. I kept some aluminum vegetable cans (easiest to clean out) to use as pots.
A girl I work with made these cute necklaces for all of our co-workers one year for Christmas. This would also be a great craft for kids. You could even hang one in your car with a note, "Don't drive faster than your guardian angel can fly."
Craft: Elegant Clamp Jar For Gift Giving
My daughter and I found a whole box of these clamp jars at a yard sale this summer and thought they would be perfect for Christmas so we put them away. She had the idea that she would fill them with candy or nuts for her in-laws, since her father in law loves honey roasted peanuts.
I bought the basket from a garage sale this summer and added a ribbon. The only items that I had to buy was the teapot, and the tea bags. Total cost for making the basket was about $20.00 or less.
Cookie Tin With Homemade Cookies
You can save a lot of money this holiday season by making your own gifts then give them away to family and friends. A home made gift is much more appreciated than something that you purchase from any store.
Take basket and just add. Great for a shower gift or house warming.
Most dads have a hobby. With this in mind and a photo of dad, you can turn any old gift bag into a work of art to use as wrapping for his Father's Day gift. Choose a plain gift bag that will reflect your dad's hobby, such as a blue one for fishing or a green one for golf (sample is black and white checks for auto racing).
Getting Creative with Gifts in Jars
All year long I look for pretty jars and bottles at flea markets and junk shops for making interesting gifts. I usually don't pay more than $1 for each one, usually a lot less.
I made "gifts in a jar" for family and friends for Christmas and for Birthdays. I have 4 children and each one of them do something to help. It's a family kinda thing for us.
