How to Make a Homemade Gift
Looking for a heartfelt gift that won't leave you broke? Try making your own. Such sorts of gifts can make a major impression.
While cards can be purchased at nearly any supermarket or department store, making one yourself can make a statement about the time and effort you're willing to spend on the recipient. The most important part, though, is the words you write on it. Try to be sincere and honest while writing something.
Create a scrapbook(剪贴簿). A scrapbook isn't just a great gift. To make a scrapbook, you'll just need some paper, glue and photos of you and the gift recipient. Stick the pictures in any order you want on your sheets of paper. For example, you can begin with photos of your first meeting.
Prepare love coupons (礼券). These are fantastic gifts for family members and close friends. The basic idea is to make a small book of "coupons" from zero. For example, if you're giving the coupons to your mother, you might write "I will go to a movie with you" on one of the coupons.
Make a pack of cards. For this gift, you take an ordinary pack of cards and turn it into something special by writing your praise for the gift recipient on each one. When you give the gift, offer to use the cards to play your favorite card game together.
A. Write a heartfelt card.
B. Make a piece of DIY art.
C. Write things they would like on each of them.
D. This is sometimes also called "The Things I Love About You".
E. There are hundreds of affordable DIY projects that make great gifts.
F. It's a way to remind your friend of all the great memories you have together.
G. Making something by hand is often more impressive than spending lots of cash.
