Choosing the right gift for a birthday or any other occasion can be a real torture for some people, but for others it can be a great chance to show yourself and care for a person close or just nice to you. When choosing a gift, pay attention to the following questions:

• Who is this gift for? What is your relationship with the birthday boy?
• What is the closest thing to this person?
• How will the celebration go? What time of year?
• What do you want from the gift? Surprise? Nice to impress?

There is a difference between gifts that, by their appearance, simply show care and their good attitude (suitable for a grandmother or girlfriend) and those that are designed to bring relationships to a new level or touch (if it is about a loved one (beloved)).

If you are new to the world of gift ideas or are tired of the "gifting routine", take a look at DIY gifts. It can be a completely original project of your invention, where every detail is made by your own hands, as well as purchased items, but decorated in a cool and fun way in order to enhance the impression of the gift and make it more interesting.

A handmade postcard can be a wonderful gift, it will be pleasant both.

Many who hear about gifts with their own hands begin to complain about their carelessness, look for excuses for never doing “real needlework” or drawing pictures. But in order to make a truly impressive and respectable gift, you don’t need a lot of effort and knowledge. If you are good at needlework and drawing, this is only a big plus and a wide range of possible ideas. But even if you have never tried to do something like this and are not aware of your capabilities, there are many interesting projects and ideas for you that do not require special skills and technology.

Materials for most sincere gifts can also be found at hand. You will be surprised if you find out how many unnecessary old and discarded things you can find details that will become a transformed part of a beautiful composition.

Cool gifts made of paper or cardboard

Gifts made of paper or cardboard are a classic option that can take on many variations. The beauty of these materials is that they are easy to find in stores., especially since there are many beautiful types of various colored and decorated paper and cardboard - depending on your plan. The price of paper and cardboard is quite moderate, which makes it a truly versatile material for gifts. But there are many applications here: postcards, drawings, origami with messages and figurines of your favorite characters, original boxes, frames, romantic inscriptions or home-made figures.

You can always make a romantic collage out of paper with your shared photos that will delight you with pleasant memories. To do this, construct an “accordion” or a more complex geometric figure out of paper, on which you can paste the necessary photos and decorations.

There are many schemes on the Internet with which you can make a voluminous postcard with an inscription or decorate a sheet of plain paper with decor. Let your imagination run wild and turn an ordinary sheet of paper into an interesting and beautiful gift.

The main highlight of such applications and signatures, as well as your crafts, is that you make this gift individual and one of a kind. No manufacturer can perpetuate your favorite things and interests of your loved one with the help of applications and drawings, combine your common memories and pleasant emotions in images.

Photo gift

Photos can also make an original gift. Forget the usual production frames - you can make them much more interesting with your own hands. With the help of cardboard, you can create a "tree" or a square on which small photos will be pasted. They can also be hung by attaching them to colored ribbons or bead pendants.

Photos can be arranged in the form of a tree, flower or other symbol, connected with decorations on a large sheet.

Cool knitted or beaded gifts

If you know how to knit, then with the help of this skill you can make unusual and original gifts that are not related to standard products from patterns, such as scarves, socks or hats. For example, you can buy a cup in a standard format and tie a “case” with it, on which there will be a funny portrait of the birthday man or his name. Such a gift is well suited to a person who was born in winter or late autumn - it has a lot of warmth and care.

There are also patterns that allow you to make three-dimensional objects using knitting or toys.. Think about what kind of animals this person likes, if he has any special preferences among the characters of books or cartoons. A connected favorite character from childhood will help to touch almost any person.

Beads allow you to create not only decorations or images, but also many figures, funny characters or figures, where a thin wire is taken as a basis instead of a thread. In this way, you can create a tree to which small photos, candies or decorations are attached. Such a gift will be not only beautiful, but also interesting.

However, such techniques require special schemes and skills. If you have never wove with beads before, then you can use this material as a decoration, creating the desired contours or shapes with glue and the base material, on which the bead shape is already laid out.

Flowers are a traditional gift for beloved women, mothers and grandmothers. Flowers are often given in spring and summer, symbolizing the beauty and victory of blooming life. On a birthday, flowers are given, emphasizing the sophistication and beauty of their owner. But it is much more original to create flowers from a different material or make a similar gift with your own hands.

It can be origami lilies or other thick paper flowers, inside which you can hide a pleasant congratulation and a message or an interesting little thing. It is not difficult to make roses from paper for decoration from separate round sheets, collecting from around the “core” so that they resemble a rose in their appearance. To create flowers, they often use wrinkled paper or the “quilling” technique - creating shapes and images by twisting and gluing strips of paper.

When making an original postcard, you can attach “flowers” ​​made of fabric, beads, dense threads or any other materials to it. The beauty of a flower as a form is that it is versatile and recognizable, so you can easily find material for your idea.

A cool gift made of money with your own hands

Money is a traditional and “tested” gift. If you do not fully know all the preferences of a person, or if you want to be more practical, give money. But still, although this gift is useful, it does not always bring the expected joy. Firstly, many people use the donated money for something household or regret spending it on a rarer gift to “pamper” themselves. It often happens that the birthday person himself does not fully know what gift would suit him. Well, the second weighty reason: the money itself in a white envelope is a bit boring and too “official”. If you want to make it more pleasant and interesting at the same time, arrange the money in an interesting story or put it in a homemade box.

Money can be arranged in the form of a story, where they list what it is recommended to spend it on (in a comic form). Or they can be placed in a neat and interesting enticing box, where a separate letter outlines their history and "adventure": how they were passed from hand to hand.

Less creatively, money can be designed as part of a postcard, where their presentation will be interesting graphically: extended from the character’s hand or inserted into a separate frame, they will immediately take on a cool look.

Many people have a special attitude towards sweets. Someone because he has to limit himself in their number, so every chance to eat a long-awaited sweetness turns into a special pleasure. Others because of a pleasant and incomparable taste, a weakness to which many of us are prone. A gift of sweets is associated with joy and pleasure, and scientists have proven that dark chocolate and bananas improve mood and bring joy.

But by themselves, sweets or chocolate compositions are a tasty, but uninteresting gift. If you want to really surprise a friend or relative, get creative and decorate a sweet gift with your own hands.

Recently, bouquets and compositions of sweets have been especially popular, where instead of flowers they are given interesting shapes, decorated and decorated. You yourself can give the sweets different shapes depending on the chosen gift.

With the help of an ordinary jar and a beautifully decorated lid, you can make a special sweet gift. Decorate the jar, paint with permanent markers or paste over with whole coffee beans (sparkles, rhinestones). On it, make the signature "Cure for sadness" or "For joyful moments" and fill it with various sweets or candies. Signatures can be like this: "For the sweetest person", "Sweet amenities of life."

The same idea can be presented in the form of an album, on the pages of which you can stick packaged goodies, signing for which event they are intended. The more personality and creativity you put into this gift, the better.

As a result, we can say that the main value of a gift is your efforts and the feelings that you put into it. Beautiful beading techniques, frames decorated with shells or coffee beans impress with their beauty and seem cute, but gifts that contain feelings and individuality are much more appreciated. The very meaning of the gift is in the attention and emotions invested in it. Cool and fun gifts are often those that highlight your shared experiences, memories, and especially the individual traits of the birthday person. Show that you appreciate his character and hobbies, as well as your relationship and express it with your own hands - the result will be the best.

How to make a gift for mom and grandma?

Of course, any parent is pleased when her beloved child makes it with his own hands. She will keep such a personalized card for a long time and happily remember how the child presented it on her mother's birthday.

In order to make a postcard, you will need:

• colored paper;
• pencil;
• glue;
• colored cardboard;
• scissors.

Such a card for March 8, Birthday can be presented not only to mother, but also to grandmother. First you need to fold a sheet of colored cardboard in half. It will soon become a postcard. Then, let the child put his palm on a sheet of pink or yellow paper, circle it, cut it out along the contour. Then you need to bend this part and draw fingers with nails. Indeed, in our case, the child’s hand, reflected on paper, will give flowers to mom, which is very touching.

The son or daughter will decorate the wrist at their discretion with pieces of colored paper, gluing them to the hand. Now you need to glue the flowers on the front side of the card, tucking your thumb under them, and place the rest on top of the bouquet.

Here is a gift you can make with your own hands to a child for mom, like the next one.

On the cardboard you need to draw a mug, then cut it out and decorate it with flowers from colorful paper. Cut out other flowers from it, they must be glued to the back of the mug. Even small children can make such an application.

In general, flowers are a win-win gift for mom with your own hands. Therefore, a child can make a bouquet of tulips from colored paper and give it to her or her grandmother. The scheme for creating such a flower will certainly help in this.

Older children will not be difficult to twist such flowers from colored paper.

First you need to cut a square out of it, then fold it one at a time, and then along the second diagonal, fold it so that you get a double triangle. At this stage, the blank will turn out exactly the same as when creating a tulip in the fifth figure. These paper color schemes are presented just above. Now you need to wind the first corner of the resulting triangle onto a rod or thin stick, then the second, third and fourth edges.

When twisting the petals, pay attention that they need to be wrapped in one direction.

Make 3-4 such parts, glue their edges together, leaving a small hole. You need to put a wooden stick painted green in it, and the gift for mom is ready.

Flowers made of fabric on this holiday will also become a bright accent. If you have a piece of felt or an old coat, give your child a chance to show their creativity. To make such a flower out of fabric, you need to cut a circle out of it, which will become the core. Petals are glued to it. For them, you need to cut the felt into triangles. Slightly cutting off the lower opposite corners, they must be combined and glued.

Gift for grandpa and dad

By doing it, the child learns the basics of origami. Let him roll up a shirt from paper and present this present to a birthday man or a man on February 23rd.

We start creating a gift for dad, grandfather by taking a rectangular sheet of paper, bending it in half to mark the middle. We will need it, because we need to pull the right and left edges of the sheet to it.

We make the collar of the shirt by bending the upper right and left corners to indicate the sleeves. Figure "7a" shows what should come of this. Wrap the hem up by pulling it up to the collar. It turned out an origami shirt. It remains to decorate it. You can glue a pocket, cut a tie out of paper, and give a handmade gift to dad, grandfather for his birthday.

A souvenir photo also makes a great gift. Let your son or daughter make a photo frame with their own hands. For her you will need:

• red, white, yellow, black cardboard;
• scissors;
• glue;
• pencil.

First, the necessary elements of the machine are drawn on the back of the cardboard. If there are difficulties with this, enlarge this photo and redraw it on tracing paper, and then on cardboard. Further, white glass, black wheels, yellow headlights are glued to the red car. Photos are attached in the same way. On the number plate you need to write to whom the present is addressed.

A daughter can quickly sew a funny kitten out of an old sock and give it as a gift. For this you need:

• sock;
• synthetic winterizer;
• threads;
• needle;
• scissors;
• pencil or pen.

The sock must be stuffed with synthetic winterizer, then make a circle out of this fluffy material, which will become the head of the kitten. Very soon there will be a gift for dad from his daughter. To do this, let her sew a hole on the toe so that it turns out to be a triangular eyelet from both corners. It remains to draw facial features, and then sew them with a thread using a needle.

Gift of matches for a friend

If you want to give a friend a fun birthday present, then make a star or a snowflake out of matches. This is a completely junk material, because usually such used items are thrown away.

Draw the shape of the future gift, cut out a piece of cardboard on it. Now you need to divide the star into segments with matches and lay out the first sector with them.

To make it easier, grease a small area of ​​cardboard with glue, then put a few matches here tightly to each other. Press lightly with your hand for a better fit.

In this way, paste over the entire cardboard, and you can go to visit to congratulate a friend on his birthday in a cool way. If a friend is unlikely to appreciate such a joke, then you will have to spend money, but very little, only on:

• a piece of dense fabric - felt or felt;
• pencils - a set of 24 pcs.;
• decorative lace.

On the fabric with a clerical knife, make rows of paired cuts for 24 pencils at a distance of 5 mm from each other. Their width is the same. The pencils will be in the central part of the felt rectangle, and the two extreme ones are needed to wrap the case.

Felt is a hard material, so it's best to soak it in hot water first, then dry it. It will become softer and more pliable to work with.

Step back from the edge of the felt 1 cm, make 3 thin cuts parallel to it, into which insert a leather cord folded in half. You managed to make a birthday present with your own hands. It remains only to insert the pencils, roll the felt into a tube, tie this scroll on a cord and hand it to the birthday man, for example, a classmate, work colleague or friend.

Interesting gifts for your loved one with your own hands

For both a friend and a dear loved one, you can make such a gift.

For it use:

• cardboard;
• wrapped candies;
• 1 large and 6 small chocolates;
• braid;
• glue;
• white thread or fishing line.

Cut out the outlines of the future guitar from cardboard, cut it out. Draw a hole in its center, cut it with a clerical knife or stick colored paper here, frame it with braid.

Arrange 6 small chocolates on the neck of the guitar as in the photo, place “strings” from cut identical lines or threads on top of them. On one side, secure them with a large chocolate bar by gluing the one behind the wrapper. On the other side there will be 3 candies, under which tuck the opposite edges of the threads.

Now it remains to frame the guitar with sweets in 2-4 rows with your own hands for a loved one, relative or friend, gluing them.

The next gift to your beloved, made with your own hands, will help him never lose ballpoint pens. Such a present will remind him of you at home or at work if he takes it to the office and puts it on the table.

For this gift you will need the following:

• 6 cork coasters for hot;

• and gift pens.

First, alternately glue the coasters under the hot, pressing them tightly together. Now the glue should dry well, usually the time for this is indicated on its packaging. After that, mark the top disk with a pencil, make holes with a drill. If a girl does not know how to work with this tool, then she can ask someone from home or this idea will be useful to a man when he needs to congratulate a friend on his birthday.

If desired, you can apply paint to the present with a can or leave it in the form in which it turned out - it looks very stylish.

What can you give a friend for her birthday?

The next present can be made not only for her, but also for mom, dad, lover, friend - it all depends on the age of the donor and the preferences of the person who is given the gift.

• beads for the nose and eyes;
• glue gun;

Paint half of the ball with brown paint, let it dry. Now wrap the twine around the muzzle of the hedgehog and, if you wish, also its abdomen.

We begin to glue the coffee beans, placing them closely to each other, slightly tilting them to the other side of the hedgehog's nose.

To make a gift for a friend look beautiful, glue the grains first from the center of the animal's body towards its hind legs, and then from the same middle part to the muzzle.

• gum;
• yarn and hook or fabric;

• big button on the leg.

Attach the button to the fabric, cut along its contours with a margin. If you know how to crochet, then create a circle in this technique, the diameter of which is slightly larger than the diameter of the button. The gift will turn out openwork.

Glue this circle to the button, folding the edges. It remains to take an elastic band to match, tie it on a button leg, and you can give a gift to a friend, made with your own hands.

She will surely like this original decoration around her neck.

Cut off the collar from the shirt, wrap its lower edges inward, sew. Unfasten the placket along with the collar, on one side of which a button is sewn, and on the other side there is a slotted loop for it. With the help of these details fasten the collar around the neck. Hide the button under the decorative piece that is sewn to one side of the collar.

Gift for daughter

Well, if the family decided to make them with their own hands. Raise your children in a creative environment. Hand over a beautiful stroller and a doll that you design and make yourself. If you were invited to a girl for her birthday, you can put a bill in the hands of the doll.

Here's what you need to get it to work:

• colored cardboard;
• compass;
• scissors;
• ruler;
• tape measure;
• pencil;
• lace;
• braid;
• glue.

Using a compass, draw 2 identical circles. Cut off them in a sector. To connect these parts you need a strip. Its length is determined as follows: put the zero mark of the centimeter tape in one corner of the sector, put it on a circle, see how many cm it turned out at the second corner of the sector. You can make these measurements with a braid, then put it on a ruler and also determine the length of the strip, cut its edges with zigzag scissors.

Now glue the two semicircular parts of the stroller with a strip that is placed between them.

Cut out the wheels from black paper, and let the disks for them be the same color as the stroller itself.

To make her birthday present for her daughter, decorate the stroller with braid by gluing it.

For the doll, sew a lace skirt and a bell cap. Attach the satin ribbons to the cap with a glue gun.
