There is an unshakable stereotype in the minds of many that gifts are made with their own hands either by children or by those who do not have the finances to purchase something truly worthwhile. But this is absolutely not true. No matter how many “store-bought” gift options have been invented, only those made with your own hands carry warmth, attention and care. After all, the giver puts his soul into them, devotes time and creates an exclusive that is unlikely to be available to anyone else. To understand that this is not the last century, we offer you an interesting selection of gifts that you can create on your own.

DIY birthday gift

There are many options for birthday gifts that you can make yourself. And the choice of a specific one depends on the age of the birthday person, his preferences and tastes. A selection of various options that will be appropriate both as gifts and as gifts for a wide age category.

Let's start with the fact that gifts can be not only pleasant, but also useful! For lovers of everything practical, we suggest making a wall-mounted key holder like this. It’s as easy as shelling pears to make, and the costs are minimal, and such creativity takes very little time. But in the end it turns out to be a very useful thing. The frame itself can be decorated at your discretion, but it is best to choose a style and color scheme that will be in harmony with the room where this beauty will subsequently hang.

Continuing the theme of frames, there is another option to use it as an interesting idea. This “board” can serve in a variety of ways. It can be either a photo holder or act as a stand for “reminders”. No matter how the birthday boy decides to use it, in any case, the gift is not only original, but also very useful in everyday life, and it is simple and very quick to make.

Why are simple piggy banks inconvenient? Because you never know how much money is there. But this can be corrected if you give the birthday boy such a piggy bank. Firstly, such a piggy bank lifts your spirits by being on the wall and showing how full it is of money, and secondly, the filler itself can use a marker to count directly on the glass, recording the accumulated amount. By the way, the gift itself can be given not empty, but with financial filling.

Candles are an attribute of warmth and comfort, and they are also romantic. A beautiful candle is a universal gift that will be appropriate both as a main gift, such as a set of candles, and as a present. Making such candles is quick and not at all difficult. For decoration, you can use either purchased lace or crocheted with your own hands. Simply brush the glue onto the glass and wrap it in lace. Once everything is dry, place a candle in the glass and you're done!

Another option for candlesticks. You will need to spend more time on it than the previous one, but it looks gorgeous. It will be necessary to impose motifs of different diameters, but at the same time you need to ensure that they can fit together harmoniously. After this, you need to inflate the ball, use PVA glue to attach the motifs to the ball and hang the latter to let the glue dry. After complete drying, carefully burst the ball and place a candle inside.

An unusual gift from all sides. It will decorate any room with its presence, and the recipient is unlikely to guess the materials from which all this beauty was created. But these are nothing more than ordinary toilet paper rolls! Cheap and very beautiful. How to make such a picture can be seen in the step-by-step image. Again, nothing complicated, just a little patience.

This work of art is made according to the same scheme as described above, only in a slightly different improvisation.

The same useful toilet paper rolls can also decorate a mirror, making it a bright spot on the wall.

DIY wedding gift

What is usually customary to wish newlyweds on their wedding day? Love, happiness and... financial well-being. Words, words, but you can present a truly symbolic gift. They can act as an umbrella of financial security. It’s simpler to make, but it looks original.

Another option to hint to the newlyweds about the importance of the financial side of life is to give an initial family budget. The main thing is to think about the label; you can copy what is written in the image below, or you can use your imagination and come up with something of your own.

And a young family can take away such a beautiful money vase to their new home. This is both symbolic and very beautiful at the same time. Making such a gift is not difficult, but the result is amazing and such a gift looks very expensive.

And, of course, how can you do without a wedding album?! Stores offer formulaic and boring options, so the most skilled needlewomen can try their hand at it. Yes, it may seem very difficult at first, especially for beginners. It would be hard to call the activity simple, but if you try, you can create such a thing even for those who hear the word “scrapbooking” for the first time. There are a lot of detailed video tutorials on the Internet, where craftswomen show everything step by step, all you have to do is repeat it. But such work will definitely be appreciated by the newlyweds, especially the bride.

Another idea for a wedding present is this tree. An interesting design of a gift in the form of a painting will look appropriate on the wall in the apartment and will remind you of a memorable date. You can use it as you please. For example, each of the guests will write a wish to the newlyweds on a separate heart, or give a gift to the pure ones and let the newlyweds themselves write warm words of love for each other. As a last resort, you can leave everything as it is, just as a keepsake.

DIY gift for mom

DIY gift for dad

Unlike moms, dads are never sentimental, or they are very good at hiding it. Therefore, for dads, the gift should be practical and necessary. As a rule, it is precisely this criterion that interferes with the flight of creativity and sharply limits the options for possible gifts. Nevertheless, you can combine business with pleasure and make such a gift with your own hands.

Photos are transferred to glasses, or glass jars and other similar things using glue and water. First, the surface must be degreased and dried. Next, you need to apply PVA glue to the glass with a brush and attach the photo, pressing it harder. As soon as everything dries, you need to moisten the surface with a cloth and begin to carefully remove the photograph paper.

The cover itself can be decorated with figures of animals, flowers, or it can be embroidered with a nice inscription.

DIY gift for a man

The process is not simple. Typically, shaving foam and socks come to mind. And despite the fact that all this sounds banal and simple, they can be presented in a rather original way. For example, a gift box in which pairs of socks will be beautifully folded, and in addition there will be a bottle of expensive alcohol and candy. You can compose such a set at your own discretion and add to it whatever your heart desires.

They say that men have become smaller now, so it can be presented with a hint. Remind a man of his main life goals by presenting a complete set for a “real man” as a gift. This set includes everything you need and nothing you don't: a pacifier, an acorn and a hammer. And all because the main tasks of the stronger sex are to raise a son, plant a tree and build a house.

For needlewomen, the gift option may look like a decorative pillow for interior decoration. Making it is not as difficult as it might seem at first glance. To make it you will need a simple small pillow, a shirt and a tie/bow tie. Basically, you need to sew something like a pillowcase out of a shirt, put the pillow inside and close the seam. Such a gentleman's gift will certainly be appreciated by the recipient.

DIY gift for husband

A gift to a beloved husband should fully reflect the feelings of a loving wife. Such gifts can be very sentimental, but if not this is how you can show love in a material way.

Original do-it-yourself gifts

Very simple to make and at the same time quite original and very necessary - a rug made of pebbles. The most difficult thing in the creation process is to select the ideal stones that would match in size and harmoniously fit on the selected surface. And then everything is simple - take a carpet, stones and glue. It is desirable that the glue be moisture-resistant, because this rug will be washed, and so that it does not fall apart after a couple of cleanings, you need to do everything properly. First, without glue, lay the stones on the rug the way they will lie in the finished version, and then, lifting each one, apply glue to the stone and place it in place, pressing each element for the prescribed time. Such a rug turns out to be very heavy, but it will not crawl on the floor, but will remain in one place.

Other things can be done using a similar principle. For example, coasters for hot dishes or plates made from pebbles look very beautiful and original. Here's where your imagination lies.

A homemade pendant is a huge space for imagination, because it can contain everything you want. From important symbols to photographs of loved ones.

An original bowl for sweets or something else light is made from the bare minimum - sequins, glue and a balloon. To make the bowl as strong as possible, you need to apply several layers, waiting for each one to dry. After the last layer has dried, you need to remove the ball. The bowl itself can be trimmed by cutting off all the excess on top, or left as is, which will also look unusual.

Only the most courageous are not afraid of vaccinations and injections, but it is unlikely that anyone will agree to voluntary vaccination. What if you plan to inject vitamin “₽”? No one will definitely refuse this. Giving money in this way is a very interesting idea that will certainly be appreciated. Buy syringes, place banknotes in them, and print humorous instructions on the computer indicating the dosage and side effects.

DIY gift for a friend

What girl doesn't love jewelry? There are few of these, so a homemade headband will be very useful. Moreover, knowing such a technique, you can create real masterpieces. It is likely that the first time it will not turn out as expected, but constant practice will certainly bear fruit. The detailed implementation stage is clearly visible in the step-by-step photos, so there should be no problems.

A mug with a delicate design for sure. This beauty is very easy to make. To do this, you will need the simplest nail polishes, a plain mug and imagination. Drip varnishes of matching color into the water one by one, and then use a toothpick to create an intricate pattern. After this, simply carefully lower the mug into the water so that the design completely “sits” on the surface of the cup, and lift it up. Let the drawing dry and that's it. To prevent the design from peeling off, it is advisable to additionally apply a suitable glossy coating on top.

Another original gift option for a friend is a decorative candle with a photo of you together. We have already talked about how to transfer a drawing from a photo to another surface, and this is clearly visible in the photo.

Knowing what kind of phone your friend has, you can give her an original smartphone cover as a gift. You can make it any way you want and with anything. The most common option is decoration with rhinestones. To work, you will need the simplest plain cover, decorative elements and glue. First, the working surface needs to be degreased, and then, using a marker or pencil, apply the future location of the rhinestones. The rhinestones themselves can be fixed using high-quality glue. A case with an individual design will surely please your friend.

Despite the fact that each of the gifts in our selection is divided into a specific category of recipients, you can give them to anyone, at any time, the main thing is that the gift is in the theme and likes the hero of the occasion. And remember, gifts that you made with your own hands are not only no worse than those you can buy in a store, sometimes they can even surpass them in all respects.

Female friendship is a warm and tender feeling that binds two people with real family ties. This loved one faithfully keeps your secrets and little women’s secrets that are inaccessible to anyone else around you.

A non-standard congratulation and a memorable gift simply cannot leave her indifferent. The donated sweets will be eaten, the money will be spent, but your unique gift will be remembered for a long time.

SMS congratulations

Ordering a luxurious limousine under the windows of the birthday girl is a luxurious option, but not everyone has the means or opportunity to organize something like that. Fortunately, there are a lot of gifts and congratulations - they are easy to organize yourself, but they will surprise and delight no less than the most expensive gifts.

For an original SMS congratulations, you need to agree in advance with the people who will participate in the surprise. On the day of the holiday, they must send her an SMS with the appropriate text. It can be a classic congratulation or a comic and original one, in a certain style.

There should be a lot of such SMS, so you should ask everyone you know to help you in advance. There are many communities on the Internet dedicated to holiday flash mobs, where people will happily respond to your cry for help. The main thing is that all SMS are sent in the same time range - just imagine the look on the girl’s face when she is inundated with such wonderful “spam”.

Surprise box

As a gift for a sentimental young lady, you can use a real magic box created with your own hands! All you need is a small cardboard box and a little imagination.

You can decorate the box in any way you like, but it is advisable to select the decor based on the preferences and interests of the hero of the occasion. If they love sports, wrap the box in bright paper and decorate it with stickers with images of bicycles, balls, tennis rackets, etc. If the birthday girl considers herself an ardent Star Wars fan, paper with a print depicting the characters from the film will bring her to the present delight!

Photos together, a keychain brought from a common trip, a dried flower, a bottle with her favorite scent, several nail polishes, etc. Let this small box become a container of pleasant impressions and good mood. Additionally, you can put the birthday girl’s favorite candies, small lollipops or chocolates in it.

Hello from the star

How can you surprise your friend more on her holiday, if not with a sudden video greeting from her idol? Find out the name of her favorite singer or actor, and find some video with a famous person on which you can add a congratulatory text.

Ask your mutual friend to record the text on a voice recorder, and in a special video editing program you can easily combine the audio track and image. It’s good if the pauses in the video coincide with the voice: this way you can create the effect of professional voice acting.

A shocked girlfriend will forever remember such an original gift. You can also collect a whole collection of similar congratulations from various famous personalities, and each of your friends will give you a disc with their own version.

Friendly certificate

It’s easy to make a unique certificate of wishes with your own hands, which the donor is obliged to fulfill at the request of the birthday girl. It can be made humorous, with funny wishes, for example, “The right to be the most beautiful at the party,” or more practical, say, “Certificate for choosing a movie at the cinema.”

It is best to arrange such a gift in the form of a checkbook. To make it you will need a notepad, bright markers and colored stickers. On each page you must write one wish, and if necessary, the page can be easily torn out. You can supplement the sheets with bright illustrations and stickers.

Adventure quest

For a fan of adventure films and a lover of all sorts of adventures, you should arrange a real treasure hunting quest. Such a quest can be thematic, based on the plot of a film or comic book. In this case, all the details of the adventure must correspond to the atmosphere and scenery of the film. For example, you could design paper clues to look like parts of an old treasure map from the Pirates of the Caribbean movie.

All clues must be carefully hidden, disguised or buried in the quest area. Each of them should lead to the next. For convenience, make a map and write down all the places with hints: if something happens, you need to help the birthday girl find them.

The very first clue must be given or placed in a visible place so that it can catch your eye. At the end of the quest, the girl will have to find a gift, securely hidden where other people cannot find it. Such a surprise will be remembered for a long time.

Sudden Journey

If you have the means and have been saving money for a long time in order to arrange a truly luxurious holiday, organize a truly grandiose congratulation.

You should choose the weekend closest to the holiday and order two passes to a spa complex or a holiday resort outside the city. Massages, spa treatments, a swimming pool and a bar will lift your spirits and help you relax after a busy day.

To make such a present unexpected, you need to keep silent about the destination and ask your girlfriend to go with you under the pretext of helping at the dacha. Do not name the exact location, rent a car or ask a friend to give you a lift, but the driver is also obliged to strictly keep the secret.

Just a few hours' drive and luxury apartments, helpful staff and two wonderful days of relaxation await you! There you will be surrounded with care and attention, and such an unusual weekend will give you both a well-deserved rest and a lot of new emotions.

For a real fashionista

For a friend who dreams of becoming a style icon and conquering Paris Fashion Week, gift shopping with a real stylist and image maker is ideal. It is advisable to prepare a gift certificate for her favorite store, where the master class will be held.

Invite the birthday girl to go shopping with you on the eve of her birthday under the pretext of picking out dresses for the celebration. Once you reach your destination, you should be met by a stylist with a gift certificate.

Trying on and buying new clothes and shoes will cheer up any girl. By choosing a festive outfit together with a professional, she will receive not only new emotions and impressions, but also a luxurious look for the upcoming event.

Portrait likeness

An almost win-win option for congratulations is a portrait of the hero of the occasion from a professional artist. Let the artist draw her as a character from a movie or book that she likes. A specific background and an authentic outfit in the style of the film will make the image recognizable.

Find a portrait photo of the girl in good quality, not necessarily full-length, because the artist will independently think through the details of clothing according to the theme of the image. It is important that the face in the photo is at the appropriate angle, and the quality of the photo allows the master to see all the features and nuances of the appearance in order to transfer them to the canvas with maximum accuracy.

If the birthday girl is a creative person and understands fine arts, order a portrait in the style of her favorite artist. A modern “Mona Lisa” in the style of Leonardo da Vinci or “Girl in front of a mirror” by Pablo Picasso will decorate any interior.

Special issue of the magazine

An exclusive issue of a popular youth magazine with a photo of the hero of the occasion, released especially for the birthday girl, can be an original gift. Such a magazine can be stored on a shelf with books or in a frame under glass.

If you don't have the budget for professional printing, do it yourself.

Such a magazine can be ordered from a printing house or photo workshop. For the cover and spreads, you should choose the most successful and high-quality photographs. In modern programs, you can easily correct minor makeup defects and create a unique image that matches the theme of the magazine.

Let the content of the pages consist of articles dedicated to the birthday girl, her birthday and your memories together. Come up with interesting texts, remember funny stories and fill the journal with them. For inspiration, you can look through interviews with famous people and use them to create an interview on a fun topic, such as “How do you always be such a great friend.”

Planning a party for your best friend is both simple and incredibly difficult. You know everything about her, you can literally read her thoughts. A surprise for your best friend should be prepared in advance and several options should be considered at once.

A close friend’s birthday is a real puzzle: you don’t know how to surprise your friend on her birthday while giving her a gift that she has long dreamed of. Even an inexpensive present will be remembered for a long time if emotions and impressions are attached to it.

Method number 1 – create intrigue

You can surprise your friend not with a gift, but with the process of presentation. An alternative is not to give the main gift right away, but to arrange an adventure game. First, give your friend a gift box with a mini-surprise and the first puzzle, after solving which she will get to the second mini-surprise with another clue, and so on until she gets to the main gift. And in each mini-surprise, in addition to hints, put some pleasant little things: a chocolate bar, a flower, a soft toy or a souvenir.

You can be intrigued if the gift is packaged in a small box, which is placed in a larger box, and so on. During the process of unpacking the gift, the birthday girl will go over the possible options in her head.

Method number 2 - make an original gift

A win-win option is to surprise your friend with a gift made for her. A T-shirt, mug, phone case with a name or photo will not get dusty on a shelf or in a closet. The girl will like the painting with her portrait.

A professional artist will draw such a portrait from a photograph, and to make it even more interesting, ask the master to depict the birthday girl in the image of a favorite book or film character, against the backdrop of the sea, landscape, mountains or medieval castles. You can draw a picture in different painting styles: from romanticism to post-impressionism.

Method number 3 - create the mood

A surprise for a friend on her birthday can be done even before the main gift is presented, creating the mood. The birthday girl will be delighted if she wakes up in a room decorated with balloons, fresh flowers or butterflies. Don't torment her with waiting for the first congratulations over the phone. She will not be offended by a night call with a request to look out the window if she sees a wish in it, laid out with candles.

It is unexpected and joyful to receive congratulations from strangers. To do this, let a dozen people she doesn’t know send SMS with congratulations at the same time. An incredible number of letters from unknown numbers will cause a lot of emotions in your friend. In order not to congratulate her with banal phrases, prepare: record a comic song, create a slide show or make a video in which you tell her warm and sincere words.

Method number 4 - make an original gift with your own hands

A proven method of original congratulations is a do-it-yourself surprise for a friend. For those with a sweet tooth, it’s more pleasant to receive goodies not in a bag or box, but in the form of a bouquet, in which sweets are wrapped instead of flower buds.

An alternative option is to bake homemade cookies, but not with fruit or cream filling, but with wishes. Another original way to congratulate is to make a cake out of cardboard. Let it consist of boxes in the form of pieces of delicacy, inside of which there will be pleasant little things: a magnet with a joint photo, lip gloss, a bottle of your favorite perfume. If you plan to give money as a gift, then it is better to present it in an unusual and original way, for example, in a bag tied to a balloon, or in a photo frame.

Method number 5 – give emotions and impressions

Impressions and a good time will surprise your friend on her birthday. So that the name day celebration does not turn into banal gatherings at home, and the hero of the occasion feels like a queen, and not a dishwasher and cook, book a table for her in a restaurant. Spending holidays at the table is a stereotype; it’s better to celebrate your birthday in a water park, on the beach, in a bowling alley or a paintball club. At the end of the evening, give a final surprise - give a limousine ride around the city at night.

For calm natures, a good gift would be a certificate for treatments at a spa or beauty salon, which will give you the opportunity to pamper yourself and relax. A certificate for a professional photo shoot is the best surprise for a friend who loves being photographed.

Choosing a gift without stress

Sometimes choosing a gift for a girl turns into a hassle. To prevent this from happening, you need to:

  1. Think about the gift in advance. I recommend setting a reminder on your phone a couple of weeks before the event - this way you can think about the gift, choose it and, if necessary, order it without running around.
  2. Have a list of gift ideas on hand. Oh, yes, here he is! And it is replenished all the time! Therefore, keep this article bookmarked, it will come in handy)
