DO IT YOURSELF XMAS GIFTS

PERSONALLY WRITTEN PLATES

You can choose any porcelain plate for this simple but very

thoughtful gift. As for the wording, you can write favourite

song lyrics, a poem, or even a speech, and a set of quotations.

WOODEN LETTERS ON CANVAS

Simple but very elegant when displayed in the living room,

this Christmas gift only takes little amount of patience to create.

Wooden letters, canvas, paint, and glue should be able to help you

make a gift that is worth displaying.

NUT BRACELET

Guys, especially those who love accessories, would love to have

this kind of gift from girls. And because ladies know how to make

braids very well, making a braided nut bracelet should be a cinch.

COUPLE LOVE PORTRAIT

You can give this special gift to a couple or you could give this

as a sweet offering to your spouse. And you do not have to spend

so much to let them feel your support. A presentable frame,

a wonderful paper, and printout of the famous couples with

a standout print of the couple are very great.

PHOTO VASES

You do not have to resort to expensive photo vases in order

to give a personalized  container that can serve as a special gift.

Just purchase a clear long straight vase, print a black and white

picture in vellum paper, wrap the said paper on the vase, stick

both ends with a double sided tape, and put a battery-operated

tea light inside. Voila!

NINTENDO ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM LUNCHBOX

You may find your well-loved console unit just staying in the attic

or in the basement of the house, but it still has value, especially

for the new generation of gamers. They may not enjoy 8-bit games

like Super Mario Bros anymore, but you could create a gift

that would just make old gamers envy. Just imagine an old

gaming console used as a lunchbox.

SCRABBLE TILE COASTERS

Your Scrabble tiles can still be put to good use thanks to the

idea of having tiles stick together on a corkboard to form a coaster

that would be great for different kinds of drinks. It is actually

so easy to make that even kids can do it.

I LOVE YOU BECAUSE… MESSAGE FRAME

Although these things can be bought at an online store as one set,

you can do your own by purchasing or using a frame,

printing an “I Love You Because…” message with patterned

paper in the middle or upper part for more writing room, and

some scrapbook items to make things even more personal.

Once done, just wrap it and you’re good to go.

GIFTS IN A JAR

Buy an empty bottle from a store, or you may gather some

from friends. Purchasing sticker paper and printing labels should

take care of the packaging. As for contents, you may decide to stuff

in whatever the theme is. You could use Energy, Faith, Laughter,

Inspiration, Action, and other things you could think of.
