Going Away Gift Idea: New Beginnings Kit

One of my dear friends is moving interstate and I wanted to make her something that she could take with her that would ease her nerves and remind her that she is never alone.

After thinking about it for a few weeks, I came up with a ‘New Beginnings Kit’. I am really happy with how it turned out and her reaction as well as everyone else’s who saw it was more than I could have hoped for. I think this is quite a versatile gift and something I will definitely be making again. It could be made for many different purposes, it could be turned into a ‘Get Well Kit’ for someone recovering from an illness. It could also be a ‘Happiness Kit’ for someone who needs a pick me up.

To read what is in the kit and why, click on the photo and it should be clearer. Please be aware there is an error, it should say ‘String- to tie things together when everything falls apart’ It is missing the word when.

 

Gift Idea: Scrabble Art

I created this gift for my Nanna. It combines her two favourite things; Scrabble and her grandkids. When I gave it to her she instantly rearranged the photos on her wall to make space for it. She has since told me, that it is quite the talking point when she has guests over (which is suprisingly often for someone her age).

To make this masterpiece I downloaded the Scrabble letter template from here. I then wrote down all of my Nanna’s grandkids names and spent a bit of time rearranging them so they all linked together like a real Scrabble game. Once that was finished I printed two copies of it and cut one up and placed it on top with double sided tape to give it a 3D look.

I would be more than happy to help anyone who is interested create one, just send me the list of names you want on it or message you would like written in it.

Firstly, I must confess: I am a Pinterest addict. I love Pinterest, it provides me with ideas for EVERYTHING. I use it for work, gifts, exercise, recipes.. pretty much anything important in my life. That is where I came across this amazing gift. Such a thoughtful present, you also don’t have to recreate it as the blog offers free printables. I think I’ve just discovered my new favourite blog.

Engagement Gift Idea: Famous Couples

This is probably one of my favourite gift creations. Truth be told I was invited to an engagement party where I didn’t know the couple all that well and didn’t want to spend too much money on a gift. I spent a bit of time researching gifts and came across a few things similar to this on Etsy for $30. I then gave it a go myself and this was the end result! I have since made it for another couple and shared the template with a few that have requested it. Everyone that has received it has loved it!

If you would like a copy of the template please let me know and I can email it to you J
