Hello!
This
Christmas, My partner and I decided to make hand made gifts to each other. We
both are saving up and we both wanted to make gifts for each other because it’s
more sentimental and personal.
When we originally
set each other this task, I had all these ideas...and then a complete mind
block followed this. I searched the Internet and found some ideas on Pinterest,
which turned out to be a lifesaver. There are so many great ideas that are
really sentimental, and cost practically nothing. I do urge everyone to try
this out and I’ve included some ideas below to get you going!
Gift Ideas!
• A basket with their favorite foods e.g. homemade
cookies and Pies! Yum
• A photo album of your time together. You
can great deals to print the pictures out cheaper
• A scrapbook of your time together
• A book of tokens that your other half
can cash in. E.g. A token for breakfast in bed
• Make your own canvas with a personal
message.
• If you're arty then you can maybe draw
your other half a picture, or alternatively paint them a picture*
• Grab your needle kit out and stitch them
a personal message on a pillow cushion
• Knit a scarf- depending on time and
skill!
Hope these
ideas have inspired you!
I made my
partner a Canvas. It was pretty easy. I did this by printing out the message on
A3 paper and stuck it on the back of the canvas. I made sure I cellotaped the
paper to ensure it didn't move around. I then stenciled the letters...very slow
work, and spent the rest of the afternoon painting it in. The song is
personal to us both, which made the present quite personal.
My partner
is the arty one, and is quite skilled in this area, so he drew me this
wonderful picture of me. I love it!
Good Luck ♥
