Heart instead of credit card? The most beautiful selfmade gifts

The memory memory

What a beautiful idea. Not just for kids? but also. Whether godchild, partner, grandmother Hilde or best friend, this gift will really please everyone, with whom you like to remember together. In the end, it does not matter who has the most couples, because this is not important in this memory with your own photos.

make a wish

The ultimate last-minute gift from the heart: the voucher box. Just take a box and small construction paper squares on which you write small coupons. Voucher for a homemade meal. Babysitting for an evening. For a drive without cursing or a movie night with free choice of film and anti-Mecker guarantee, if it must be again an Elyas M'Barek movie. But then you have to go through, right?

Get your old slides out!

Do you still have old family slides? Excellent! This is how you make real art out of them: projecting it onto an interesting surface with the slide projector (eg wood, wallpaper, glitter paper, bath foam) and then taking pictures! Looks crazy and hip enough to breathe even the cheesiest family photos the necessary coolness. Pulled on canvas a real eye-catcher!

Homemade cosmetics

Very easy you can make cosmetics yourself. Lavender peeling is especially pretty and easy: just mix 180 grams of sea salt with 60 ml of almond oil and add dried lavender to taste. For a big WOW with little effort. Nobody needs to know ...

Pesto, jam and pickled peppers

Yeah, ok, the mix sounds disgusting. But each one is a great gift. Especially jam and preserves can be done once a year in rough masses, then decorate pretty and pack as an emergency gift in the drawer. We've all forgotten Grandma's birthday ...

Still no idea for Christmas 2023?

Granted, this gift requires advance. But that's why it's so cool. Every day for five years, this book by arsEdition publishes a sentence for a loved one. This gift is especially beautiful as a souvenir album for children. Personally, it does not work. For hard-boiled, there is also the ten-year book. Uh, well.

A glass of time

Do you know these people who supposedly have everything? One thing they can do well: time. It can look very different. You can do something for her or babysit for an evening. Even a coupon for a professional window cleaner is ultimately time. And the best part is that you can conjure up a glass of time five minutes before the birthday party. Because of lack of time and so. Anybody could use such a glass ... but only make it more valuable.
