Craft beaded charms for boys and girls

Beaded necklaces, bracelets, and key chains make wonderful gifts for boys and girls. You can buy beads and string or cording from your nearest craft store.

Give food lovers some goodies you made yourself

Think of preparing goodies for food lovers if you want to surprise them. You can prepare pastries like cakes, pretzels and cookies or another type of food that you know how to cook. You could also look for one of many great recipes available on the Internet and prepare something wonderful for that special someone.

Design a themed scrapbook

A scrapbook is an excellent birthday gift idea fit for all ages. To make the scrapbook more memorable, consider designing it with a theme. For example, little girls will like scrapbooks with princess themes and moms or grandmothers will appreciate garden designs.

Make a diaper cake for a baby

Finding the perfect gift for a baby shower or first birthday can be a headache. By giving something useful and homemade like a diaper cake, you can save some time. Try searching through the Internet on making different styles of diaper cakes.

Decorate a pot for garden lovers

Make someone else's garden lovelier by giving them a decorated pot. Buy a clay pot and paint the pot with colorful designs. Or, you can create a rustic, natural look on the pot by attaching moss on the surface.

Create a plaster craft decoration

Homemade gifts will make the recipient happy and give the maker a means of enjoyment while crafting. Enjoy making a special gift by painting a plaster craft. You can buy plaster crafts that can be readily painted on or look for plaster mix and make the gift from scratch. You can make the plaster craft into an accent piece for bathrooms or beach houses by embedding it with different sizes and colors of seashells.

You can create an unforgettable present at home and make a birthday or anniversary more unforgettable and sentimental. Create a slideshow of pictures and put them on a CD. You can show your gift as a surprise presentation during the party for a more sentimental effect.
