I'm digging this picture frame and think it would be such a fun way to
memorialize a friendship or relationship that has blossomed through the years.
This idea would be cute to give to a friend who works in the office with you
and understands the stress level of your work environment.
This is such a fun idea! Simply color a matchbox black, add the white
parts and fill the inside with prompt cards for taking photographs.
This is a great thing to do for the friend that gets stressed out super easy.
I did something similar when I was in eighth grade. I bought a notebook and
had my mother's friends write a letter telling her what she meant to them.
Sometimes it's the reminder that you mean something that makes the
biggest impression!
One of my best friends and I did this when we were in high school. I gave the
book to her but remember we wrote in it back and forth all the time. We talked
about boys mostly – at the time it was this cute boy from work. Now cute boy
from work is my husband. I wish I could get my hands on that book now!
‘Open when' letters are nice to have around when you know your best friend
could be going through some heavy emotions. It could work especially well when
you move away from them, temporarily or permanently. Just a nice reminder
that somebody cares, like much of these other items.
The perfect gift to put at a place of employment or beside your friend's bed.
It's short and sweet – plus it reminds them that they are stuck with you!
Here's a gift that I cannot wait to make. I have a waffle cone maker and love
making my ownmarshmallows so many of the ingredients would be homemade!
If you have a friend whose birthday is in the summer, they might appreciate this
as a chance to cool down. Although if you are lucky enough, you might have a friend
who loves ice cream all year round and can make it for them whenever!
The idea comes from Smashed Peas and Carrots.
Step one: Pick flower. Step two: Put flower in vase. Repeat until you've accrued the appropriate
amount of vases. Finally: Enjoy lifelong eminence as heralded decorator.
A basket case that's not too crazy: Fill a few baskets with assorted fruit and use them as a
seasonal centerpiece. Hard-core decorators can add tiny bows for an adorable touch.

Turn an empty cereal box into a party game by making your own pinata.
Write easy charade ideas (monkey, sneeze, umbrella, dancing) on wooden craft sticks. Adorn with
pompoms and place in a jar decorated with wash tape. No Peeking!
Stick letter on individual parcel tags and string them together for a fun twist on the classic banner.
Those large metallic Mylar number balloons are very trendy but can be pretty expensive. Create
the same large-scale impact with regular balloons. Just tape them to the wall, using a single colour
for more of a graphic punch. Scrunch up coffee filters (yep, coffee filters!) to look like flowers and
fill in the gaps between the balloons.
A custom-made banner is a sweet party decoration. But ordering one from Etsy or a local maker
can get a little pricey. Instead, use your computer and printer to make your own. It’ll require a bit of
effort but minimal talent, and it’s reusable-after the party, simply take the letters off the string and
store them flat in an envelope.
Blow Up some small balloons and tie each one to a long piece of ribbon. Slide them around to
even it out. Adorable!
Create a washi-tape frame on the wall big enough to accommodate a couple of kids. Offer up
some fun props and snap away! After the party, email the photos to your guests as keepsakes.
Don’t stress about your wall paint getting ruined-wash tape peels off easily.
Easily elevate a boring cake with these cute flags, which also look adorable on a tray of cupcakes.
Just fold a piece of washi over one end of a wooden skewer and then cut a notch to create a flag
shape. Use toothpicks if that’s all you have on hand.
Disposable tableware is convenient, but a little plain. If you want to spruce it up, try wash tape.
Wrap the ends of cutlery, tape around cups, add flags to straws, or cut out a cute bunting motif to
jazz up plain brown paper loot bags.
