  • Marbled Ring Dish
  • A colorful and well-decorated ring dish is a beautiful place to store rings, earrings, and other jewelry items. It would make an excellent gift for your friend or sister that will help them keep their precious jewelry pieces organized in one place. To make an elegant marbled ring dish, all you need to do is- bake pieces of colorful clay in marbled patterns. Once baked, allow it to cool completely and add gold paint to the rim if desired.

  • Word Art on Canvas
  • A wall art not only adds character to the home but also reflects the taste and personality of people who live in it. You can take an old canvas and paint it with white matt paint all over. Once the paint dries, write down the quotes using the round-tipped fine paintbrush and wait for it to dry. Hanging on your loved one’s bedroom wall, it will remind them of your love, affection, and dedication.

  • Homemade Scrub
  • There’s nothing like homemade scrub to give a pampering spa experience to your dear ones without them actually going to the salon. A sweet-smelling green tea, honey, and sugar scrub improves the condition of the skin and enhances the growth of healthy skin cells. You need to brew some fresh green tea leaves. After brewing, add two tablespoons of tea along with the honey. Then slowly add sugar to it for a thick, paste-like consistency. Once prepared, put the homemade scrub in a small jar and it is ready to gift.

  • Personalized Notebook
  • An amazing gift for someone who loves to write and keep track of memories on paper. For this DIY project, you need a softbound notebook and washi tapes. All you have to do is- attach strips of colored washi tape on the notebook cover in an attractive pattern and you’ll have a pretty journal ready. Instead of washi tape, you can also add inspiring words and phrases to the notebook cover. It is a lovely gift that the recipient will always hold close to his/her heart as a token of your love and creativity.
