for christmas my friend made me a really cool gift. she put a picture of us on scrapbook paper and surrounded it with 50 things that she knows about me. i really like because i know how much thought she put into making it
Omgosh with the brownie mix thing!!! me and my bf got the same exact thing! it was in a jar with like layers of the ingredients.!!! OMG! thats so funny! hahaah (:
Omg! awsome video. so many great ideas! sorry aboute my spelling im from sweden. :D im really gonna do some of this. i have an other idea. paint a mug. its sort of cheep. (: im doing one right now! super super fun. :D i come back later. have a nice day!
i said the first time i saw the video that i would use some of these ideas for valentines and now that it is getting close i was like omg i have to watch that video again and omg i have sooooo many ideas now for valentines thank you rachh<3!
hi. i wanna give something to my dance teache cause she has really inspired me a lot, but i dont know what i should give her, because we dont have any pictures together or anything.. can you help please? :)
wow, these ideas for gifts are so very nice. i love to make things and give them for gifts. my parents always said they love homemade things from us more than store bought items
last year i made my brothers those fleece blankets that you tie together with material from their favorite football teams. They're both in their twenties and they ended up loving them.
lool i did the homemade giftcards once haha i made my own card with a trophe and then giftcards which i made look really proffessional haha and it cost me nothing lol but it came from my heart and he really liked it! plus being a teen without a job i can only get money from my parents & i want the present to be from me lol ..alot of gurus gift guides have stuff for like 40$..if you have like 6 best friends and even more fam like me.. idk where at 14 you'd get this money from!
Another really cute idea is doing something similar to the brownie mix but instead have a hot coco mix and give them two cute mugs, and maybe some mini marshmallows!
@TheFashionBabylon He gave me a very sweet binder full of our MSN conversations and each page had a line from a song we liked. And all the MSN conversations were ones that were meaningful and questions & answers,etc (since we lived 2 hrs apart at the time) SO CUTE!
for a gift for your mom or something you could do love coupons- you cut out little square pieces of construction paper or whatever and write kind-of a coupon that the person can give to you when you don't want to do a chore or homework or something so that you have to for them cuz its a love coupon! if that made any sense :S
the box was so cute! for mine and my boyfriends 2 year anniversary, i made him a memory/scrapbook for him with old receipts from dates, movie stubs, pictures, and souvenirs from the past two years. he loved it!
for my boyfriends birthday (we've been dating 2 years) i made him a jar, decorated it, and filled it with 365 things i love about him so he could read one each day until his next birthday :) it takes a lot of thought and effort but thats what so great about it and makes it that muvh more meaningful and personal :)
i have no idea what bristol (?) board is and didn't understand at all what you were talking about with the calendar. lol, but i'm sure it's a cute idea.
LOVE the last one, the recipe in a jar. i might do that for my friends!!
im sick of people saying you have a bad quality webcam, so i just have a suggestion, you should try putting your webcam next to a lamp (i got my lamp from target for 14 dollars) and the lamps light effects the webcam thingy and it makes it so much better then regular light :) i hope it works if you want to try it :)
I know my sister is doing this if you guys need an idea. shes getting little tins that youd get cookies in and shes putting backed goods inside :) hope i helped :)
have you ever thought about buying a better quality camera, if you saved up enough and bought less makeup products or cut back on certain things you could probably do it.and you would get more subscribers from it
@alicialaughed maybe she doens't want to give that money for a camera, because it's only for her subscribers, not for herself, that's a lot of money as a 'present', i understand that she spent her money on make-up ^^ (but i bet she is saving, maybe just not for a new camera)
I am super excited for this hair tutorial! Your hair just oozes gorgeousness!!!
Unfortunately, my hubby haaaaates DIY gifts. Haha, it was kind of funny because he told me straight up when we first started dating that all he wanted every single holiday is a gift card to a sports/outdoor store. And so indeed, I have given him only gift cards and he has been happy as a clam :). At least he's honest and easy to shop for :p
we made a calender for my grandparents with on each month a photo (just in paper) of some of her grandchildren and at every day of the month we wrote who's birthday it was and how old they were getting, that was fun :D
my sisters once made one for me, with all pictures of me and friends, that was sweet too!
i'm gonna use one of your ideas when i'm a year together^^
English isn't my first language so I can never really hear your Canadian accent and I finally did today and it's really cute hehe.This was such a great vid I think most of the time personal gifts are worlds better. take care girly xox.
Heyy :D Those are some great ideas!! I think I might make that cookies-in-a-jar gift for a reletive for Christmas! :D Also, I, too, wanted to a DIY present, so i've decided to make a mini Xmas stocking out of red and white felt and glitter to decorate and hang it above the fireplace for Christmas day for a friend who doesn't have a stocking. :D
I would LOVE to here what you think of my idea? Thankss :)x
(BTW your hair and make-up looks great, perfect for winter!)
@BxChloex Aww that sounds so super cute! You could even take more felt or whatever and glue that to their stocking too :) Just make sure they can put stuff in it! hehehe
I love all of these ideas. I love giving a gift that you made and not some where in China. It means more. I make my own homemade cards everything and the gift i get back is the expression on there faces. Great video! Also, question in Canada what type of measurement system do you use?
you are such a sweet hearted person! and so creative! i really hope to be like you one day. thank you so much for making this video, i think my sisters and i will have a lot of fun making some home made christmas presents in the next few days! x
THanks for doing this and not suggesting makeup products that are $50 each...! I did a DIY silk flower headband for my sister last night. SOOOO easy and stinking cute!! just take a silk flower of choice with a saftey pin on the back and attach it to a piece of elastic the size of her head or a piece of lace however you like...and wala...you have a super cute look...also love the soup in a jar idea for my neighbors , since usually you always get cookies ....or nice peppermints in a jar !
I LOVE making stuff like this for my boyfriend :) You and I think alike, I made him a calendar for our 1 year anniversary and we already each have little memory boxes where we store keepsakes and such. Last Christmas, my boyfriend made me a cute little bounded booklet with things like poetry, a series of MSN conversations we had (we had met online, so it was kind of out first "contact" with each other), and small surprises like cheap concert tickets for later on and small online purchases.
@justineparusinski OMG Chris did the SAME thing for me!!!! He made me a binder FULL of our MSN conversations and e-mails together... we asked a lot of questions for each other back and forth since he lived 2hrs away. SO CUTE!
thank you for doing a budget friendly gift ideas tutorial!! all the other guru's are like "here's this $39488484 shoelace that you should totally buy your friends!!" ;]
I like collaging/DIYing picture frames and giving them to friends with like a lip gloss and nail polish as well. I've also collaged on plain journals. super fun.
make a wordsearch out of your relationship with that person. i make them on microsoft word. i make a huge table and just file in random words then fill in the rest with random letters. or if you are talented enough. have the leftover letters spell out a sentence.
Rachel you're wonderful. It's a breath of fresh air to see an alternative to all the guru gift videos where their only suggestions are to buy everyone you know $50 gift sets haha...
I've been with my boyfriend for 3 years, and I can't think of something to gift his parents- I'm thinking sweet and simple. Do you usually get something for Chris' family? Any ideas?
was it snowing like friggen crazy there? the sirens are probably dealing with all the accidents, i know my town in canada got sooo much snow in the past two days!
THIS HELPED SO MUCH. THANK YOU
