I love homemade gifts. I love to make them, and I love to receive them. There's just something extra special about a gift that was made with the recipient in mind, don't you think?
The last two years, Princess has enjoyed making homemade gifts for her friends as well. This year, we also made gifts for the teachers. All of our ideas came from Family Fun and Parenting magazines. There are so many great ideas in there! The gifts turned out so cute that I just had to share them!
This is a set of felt and cork coasters. We used bright colors and funky patterns. They turned out super cute. We stuck a Starbucks giftcard in there as well, and Princess's teacher loved them!
Pumpkin's teacher is going to receive this bookmark, along with a giftcard to a local bookstore. I thought it was such a great way to say "Thank you for being a great teacher" in a gift-sort-of-way.
These are the rings and hair pins that Princess made for her friends. They turned out really cute! We used a penny for the base and glued a piece of paper the same size as the penny on top of it. Then she put a letter on each one for her friends' monograms and then we used ModPodge Dimensional Glaze to make it shiny. All her friends really loved these. I think I'd like one for myself, too!
