My best friend’s birthday is coming up and she’s turning 13 (no longer a twelvie!) and I wanted to give her something really special to show her how much I love her as a friend. This gift is really just a door of opportunity, you can make it whatever you want. My bestie loves the beach and being outdoors and is just a really bubbly, colourful girl, so I went with that kind of theme. You can also do this with a glass jar, just make sure all of your things fit!
What you decide to put into your vase depends on what your ‘present-receiver’s’ personality is like. Some of the things I put into my vase were:
- Lollies - she loves Nerds : )
- Some small jewelry such as earrings and a friendship bracelet
- Colourful motivational flags
- Lip balm
- A small memory book of printed out photos
- A cute fish figurine because she loves all things ocean and beach
- A mini chalkboard and chalk (only 5cm x 2cm)
- Confetti made out of hole punch circles
- Body spray
- A small hanging wooden heart
I also filled the jar up with small decorative bits like:
- A fake rose
- Shells (for the beachy theme)
- Ribbon
- A feather
- Buttons
To finish up, I wrapped it in a big piece of colourful scrap fabric I had lying around and tied it up with a ribbon.
I hope my bestie has a great birthday and enjoys her pressie. Happy birthday Special K!
Stay tuned for more awesome DIY craft, food, beauty and friendship stuff!
