Homemade birthday gift ideas for girlfriend

Not everyone can boast of having loyal and devoted friends, therefore it is worth keeping friendship as something very important and necessary. If your best friend has a birthday soon, then you need to think about which gift you should choose - buy it or make it personally. Each person is individual, therefore it is worth weighing well the specific option that is planned as a presentation. To surprise your friend and make her day unforgettable, it is best to come up with some interesting and original handmade gift.

If there is a desire to do something special to a friend for her birthday, then you should initially decide on the possible options and preferences of the birthday girl. You can independently:

• sew;
• to tie;
• cut and glue;
• to make.

The simplest option available to almost everyone is paper. The most logical birthday present is a postcard, because it is with it that you can get started.... For a homemade product, you need thick decorative cardboard and accessories necessary for decoration. If you have experience, creating such a presentation will not take more than an hour, and inexperienced handmakers will have to spend more than one day and use several attempts before they get the desired look of the finished product.

The size of the postcard does not play a key role, but when thinking about any composition, it is worth calculating the space required for it so that all the elements are neatly and correctly positioned.To make the present not only pleasant, but also interesting, you should think about what exactly will be on the cover of the postcard and inside it.

If a girl loves sports, then the card may contain sports equipment in the form of a step platform, a stretching rug, dumbbells and fitballs. For an animal lover, you can place a variety of cats and dogs, hamsters and guinea pigs, everyone who will be nice to see a friend. For a girl who is fond of flower cultivation, the most correct way would be to create a voluminous bouquet on the cover of a postcard.

Inside, you should not use an abundance of decorative elements, it is best to frame the greeting lines with an original frame, and this will be quite enough. As a congratulation itself, there can be poems, a mini-story or a standard version that is found on postcards. It's best to come up with words yourself, but if you can't express your thoughts correctly, you can look for a clue on the Internet.

Another original option for congratulating a friend would be to create a box. It can be either wooden or cardboard. The first option is more difficult to make, and the material is not always available, while a paper product will be affordable and quite simple to create. First of all, it is important to find the thickest cardboard and beautiful paper that will decorate the finished product. The box can be designed for jewelry, or you can put sweets in it, which will also be very nice.

Having a postcard and a box is already a great option for presenting to a friend, but you can please her with another handmade product using paper. The final chord can be homemade photo frame with a picture inside. To create, you will also need cardboard and decorative elements. Using two identical rectangles, the base of the product is created. In one of them, a window is cut through from which the photo will be visible.

The two parts can be glued together, connected with double-sided tape or sewn with decorative threads. Bulky flowers made of corrugated paper, all kinds of hearts, beautiful buttons, rhinestones, sparkles and everything that would be appropriate and logical to complement the product can be used as decorative elements.

You can also do it yourself for a friend:

• a flower wreath for the Hawaiian-style holiday;
• original notebook;
• Photo album;
• homemade book and so on.

If your best friend is about to have a birthday, but there is still no present, you should seriously start choosing it. It is not always possible to find exactly what is suitable for a particular person in a store or on the Internet, so sometimes you should first assess the situation, think about your friend's hobbies - and the desired option will come by itself.

If you have artistic talent, you can delight dear people with original drawings and paintings for any occasion. A friend will definitely be glad to receive a picture with her portrait as a gift. For a special charm, you can create an original image for the birthday girl: Cleopatra, ancient queen, queen, femme fatale or any other option that will reveal the girl from a completely different side. In this case, the main thing is not to overdo it, choosing the image that the birthday girl dreams of or the one that she loves.

If you don't want to be predictable, then an interesting option would be a drawn poster, which may also have a certain plot: girl of the year, lady may, best athlete of the millennium, world singer, and so on. You can create a poster in the form of a poster or a calendar that exactly recreates the calendar for the current year. The size of such a gift can also vary from A4 sheet to whatman paper, which will take up half the wall of a friend's room.

As a good homemade gift can be painted items, for example, boxes, figurines, ceramics, and the plot of the drawing should be close and understandable to the birthday girl.

If you have a lot of time, you can create a whole book, the main character of which will be the best friend... In addition to the original plot, hand-made illustrations for each of the important scenes of the story will become a gift token. Drawn presents can be of any size, applied on different surfaces, the main thing is that they make a proper impression on the birthday girl and make her happy.

A birthday gift is chosen not only out of the desire to present something beautiful or pleasant, some prefer practical options. If a friend is of this type, then you can give her:

• knitted gloves;
• a sewn summer bag;
• decorated flower pot;
• an original designed coffee cup;
• an eye mask for a comfortable sleep, sewn with your own hands;
• Handmade soap;
• scented candle.

Each of the handmade gifts should be of some benefit, be needed in everyday life or in other situations. If your friend loves knitted things, you can make a vest or crocheted beret for her.

If you need to prepare a gift for an anniversary, then you should come up with something special so that your friend can use the gift every day, remembering the donor. Among the things most often used that you can do yourself, it is worth highlighting dishes. If you wish, you can go to pottery courses, or try your hand at home, creating an original cup or simply decorating it. For the anniversary, it is worth preparing a larger-scale present, because a set of two cups and saucers in the original design will be quite enough.

An acceptable practical gift can be knitted or sewn bag. The first option can combine knitting and crocheting to make a base and beautiful patterns. For originality, it is worth using different color combinations to obtain a certain pattern or pattern. The sewn product can be made either on a sewing machine or by hand, depending on the situation.

A good present can be considered an apron for working in the kitchen, especially if a friend loves to cook. For sewing a product, you can find a beautiful pattern, buy a suitable fabric and create an individual item that no one else will have. A particularly pleasant element will be embroidery: "To my beloved friend" or "Happy birthday to a friend."

And also useful and functional can be considered slippers made by hand... This is not a very complicated product, but it will allow you to take care of your friend and warm her legs in the cold season. For the idea to succeed, it is very important to know the size of the birthday girl's shoes, to choose the right material so that it is not prickly, too dense, and very soft. Shoes should keep their shape, look presentable and be comfortable.

If you want to make an original but useful gift, you can build non-standard USB flash drive, using lipstick and the device itself.The lipstick should be completely removed from the case, and inside, instead of it, a flash drive is placed. Such an unexpected gift will amaze your friend, but it will definitely be to your taste.

The variety of useful and necessary gifts will also depend on the type of activity of the birthday girl, lifestyle and hobbies, knowing which you can quickly find the right option.

Depending on the wishes of the birthday girl, a gift for her may look like something edible and tasty. Store-bought sweets are often used for the holidays, but you can try something more original. One solution could be making sweets by hand using natural ingredients that are to your friend's taste.

If a girl monitors her figure and health, then she will appreciate such a sign of attention, because homemade sweets will be less high in calories and more useful. They can be packed in a cardboard box that can be beautifully decorated with gift wrapping paper.

An original and pleasant sweet surprise can be a cake with mastic, decorated with flowers, figurines or a festive inscription. The photo on the cake, which can also be taken at home, will look especially beneficial.

If you don't have the talent for baking cakes, you can try your hand at making chocolate. It is important to choose a proven and good recipe, try it several times, and only then start working on your holiday gift.

To make a sweet present look impressive, it is worth inventing and developing a wrapper in which it will be placed. For a cake, you can make a beautiful box on your own, and for chocolate - a paper wrapper with a photo of the birthday girl and best wishes. If cooking is not one of your talents, you can do it easier by buying all the birthday girl's favorite sweets and create an original and very tasty composition from them, which you can place in a suitable container.

Any sweets that will be presented to a friend will be a pleasant surprise for her, and most importantly, they will give pleasant emotions and sensations, which is very important for holiday dates. The combination of a basic gift and sweets would be a great option for both a regular birthday and an anniversary.

If you want to surprise your beloved friend and present something that she definitely does not expect, you should spend some time thinking. Many girls love when they are presented with flowers, but there are those who care about plant protection and ask not to present them with cut bouquets. This dilemma can be solved quite simply, by creating a bouquet of artificial flowers. The simplest materials can be corrugated paper and glue, and for more experienced craftsmen, fabric is also suitable, ideally satin. The product can look like a standard bouquet or be decorated with an original pendant or statuette.

The color scheme of such artificial bouquets can be very diverse - from standard shades inherent in living plants to completely magical and unprecedented ones. The presence of beads, butterflies, bugs and other additional elements on the composition will only improve the appearance of the work.

Friendship is an important part of any person's life, and therefore remembering pleasant moments, mentally experiencing them again, plunging into the atmosphere of that time, is a great happiness. To give a friend such an opportunity, you should do it yourself an album with photographs of the most important and significant events that took place throughout your friendship. If there are few pictures, then it is best to create a photo frame in which the most important shots and moments of the birthday girl's life will be placed.

If a friend believes in signs and omens, you can independently make her amulets or useful little things that will always protect her, bringing calm and measuredness into her life. The simplest option would be weaving a bracelet from the evil eye, but you can also make a pendant as an addition. If desired, it is possible to build a semblance of a hare's foot, which should bring good luck. And for those who like to interpret dreams, a dream book and a dream catcher, made especially for a friend, will be an excellent gift.

There can be a lot of opportunities to surprise a friend for her birthday, the main thing is to set a goal for yourself and go towards its realization. To make the gift work, you should not rush to implement it, it is better to practice a couple of times, make several samples in order to end up with a flawless finished product.

It is worth remembering that saving on materials is not worth it, for a beautiful postcard, you need to buy only professional paper, for a chic homemade bag it is better to take a new and suitable fabric, for soap or candles you need to buy quality ingredients, and so on - in everything. A good birthday present for a friend is another proof of love for her and strengthening friendship for many years.
