Gift Ideas

I am going to record ideas for gifts (hostess, birthday, Christmas, no reason gifts) here. I'd like to be able to refer to this whenever I need to be inspired. I'll try and be "fair" and write down where I saw the idea.

  • make bookends ("101 Saturday morning projects"- handyman)
  • make a bagel cutter ("101 Saturday morning projects" - handyman) 
  • Lara's original print cards 
  • Sanctuary Spring cards 
  • Jewellery tree thingy
  • Make a vase with wine glass (I did this for my sister for Christmas a couple years ago)
  • making wrapping paper (I got the idea from Vaness. She was painting some with her boys)
  • letterpress coasters
  • Pick up things when I travel (artwork, antique boxes, serving trays, antique textiles/lace, guest towels, books, "local delicacies".. found this list from better homes magazine)
  • Make personal pins, magnets etc. 
  • fill a pot with garden stuff (housewarming)
  • homemade jams in a bowl
  • book labels (this book belongs to. fill a basket with this and bookmarks, journal and pencil personalized. found this idea from style at home mag)
  • silhouettes for cards, pictures in frame (styleathome.com/silhouettes or Vanessa's blog)
  • candlestick lamps (maybe just a creative project for home. decorating survey from better homes book 2007?)
  • Edge and corner punches for crafty people who make cards
  • Chalkboard paint (so fun)
  • the blog about the gift ideas
