Simple Birthday Gift Ideas

There are always a ton of birthdays in the summer, so I here are a couple ideas to get you started.

– Make your own pedicure/manicure set. Get a small basket at a craft store, a put cotton balls filling the bottom.  Buy things like nail polish remover, different color nail polish, nail stickers, a nail file, nail brush, a nail buffer, a little scrubber, and some nail clippers. You can add what you want if your in the nail isle and you see something that will fit in. Then you also have the cotton balls at the bottom so when they are removing their nail polish they have something to remove it with.

–Make a photo board. It’s really simple, Take either a cord board or a foam kind of board that you can cover with fabric. Make sure you buy fabric that fits your friend, and buy ribbon to match. You need to take quilt filling that you can buy at a craft store and put it under the fabric and have it covering the board. Stable it on, and then take the ribbon and criss cross it over the board. It will look similar to this pink board in this picture except you can do your ribbon different. http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=10794018

–Buy a pair of flip flops and fabric. Cut the fabric in strips and tie the strips around the flip flops and decorate them. Buy a towel or some beach items to go with it.

– Get a photo album and print pictures of you and the person your making the gift for. Or buy a photo album you can decorate and make more personal.

–Make a scrapbook. Go online and get coupons for the store you want to buy from. I suggest a craft store over walmart or target. You can look online to get good ideas on how to get started and how to do good design.

Hope those ideas help. They are more homemade so you can make them as personal as you want.
