I was trying to think of something to do with my empty vitamin bottle. I decided to make a gift for my daughter. I filled it with special thoughts about her, her good qualities, etc. It didn't cost me a thing and she loved it. And she can remind herself how much I love her every time she looks at it.
This craft is easy, free, and meaningful. It makes a great gift for anyone in your life, even guys. Just make the bottle a bit less "girly".:)
Total Time: A couple hours?
Source: My awesome daughter

Steps:
