Unique souvenirs made with genuine feelings cannot be compared to shop trinkets. They contain love, warmth, positive energy. Making handmade gifts is also a wonderful way of family leisure, because even a small child will gladly take part in creating a present for a grandmother.

When deciding which gift to make with your own hands for your birthday, consider the birthday girl's preferences and the degree of relationship. For colleagues and friends, you can prepare symbolic souvenirs: postcards, sweet compositions, fridge magnets. For a gift to family and close friends, choose more meaningful ideas.

Funny gifts with your own hands for a woman's anniversary are also welcome. For example, a money option. On a round date, you can give a funny present in the form of cabbage, between the leaves of which are hidden bills. Or build a bunch of rolled banknotes.

Gift Certificate. Usually this "document" grants the fulfillment of a wish or permits to do something. Print your certificate with a nice graphic and the desired text. A comic present can be given to your beloved, girlfriend, and even subordinates. For a lady of the heart, a certificate for 1000 and 1 night of love (- minutes of massage, - times of washing dishes) is suitable, for a colleague-birthday girl - permission to be late for half an hour a whole month.

An option for a cool gift for a spouse is a checkbook of desires. The number of desires can be limited only by your imagination.

Use high-quality and durable materials to create a handmade presentation. A gift made of solid elements should have treated surfaces and smoothed corners so that irregularities do not hurt, do not damage other things.

A piece of clothing or a thing that will be in sight must be done with taste, skillfully and accurately. Otherwise, the woman will simply be embarrassed to use the gift. You should not create intimate things, underwear with your own hands - not everyone will appreciate such a "surprise".

Don't forget about holiday gift wrapping. A beautiful bag, box or wrapping paper - it is important that the result looks stylish, elegant and organic.
