Parents will also accept separate gifts. Mom will be pleased to receive a certificate, for example, for the purchase of cosmetics, clothing, or a visit to the spa. Recently, you can attend culinary master classes, so if mom loves to cook, you can give herь subscription to such courses... Great ideas are blender and bread maker.
It is better for dad to choose a gift based on his hobby.
If dad loves hunting or fishing, then you can donate certificates to shops for this profile. Avid car enthusiasts will love the navigators. For collectors, the best gift would be to replenish their collection.
The main thing is to put your soul into a gift, to arrange it in a beautiful and festive package. You can also buy it or make it yourself. The main thing is a process that gives pleasure to the person who prepares the gift and to the person who receives it.
What can you do with your own hands?
There are people who believe that a handmade gift belongs to those who are experiencing financial difficulties. However, this is an outdated opinion that things made by hand carry the positive energy of the person who gives. Such gifts have more attention and meaning to the recipient.
Parents become sentimental over the years, so gifts made by the hands of their children will be accepted with great love and interest.
Can be donated wall calendar with photos of family members. This bright and noticeable masterpiece will not leave beloved parents indifferent.
Small children can for parents make a postcard or draw a picture. For mom, you can make a toy for a Christmas tree, decorated in the form of a ball with the image of an angel. It can be easily made from scrap materials. Dad will like Frame. It is decorated with various sparkles, possibly cones. It will be a worthy and interesting surprise.
Knitted things are pleasing to the eyes and soul, as well as decorative elements for apartment design, for example, beautiful napkins from "Iris" threads, coasters for glasses and much more.
For example, in order to submit a postcard with embroidery, we need:
- double-sided cardboard;
- floss threads;
- needle.
Fold the cardboard in half. There are several steps involved in embroidering a postcard.
- It is necessary to decide on the pattern. Draw it on thin squared paper. Let it be a snowflake.
- Clamp the drawing with a clothespin or clip to the cardboard.
- Take a needle and make a hole in each corner of the pattern (snowflakes).
- The holes are ready, we embroider.
- We take threads for embroidery (floss).
- We embroider with a cross at the bottom of the picture. First sticks to one side, then to the other. We do this with all the rows of the picture.
- The finished embroidery can be decorated with some kind of ribbon by tying a bow out of it.
- It is better to attach a ribbon bow with hot glue.
- If you open the card, then the threads remain sticking out inside, we carefully cut them off, bend the tail, glue it with hot glue.
The postcard is ready, all that remains is to sign it, say sincere words, and a memorable gift is ready.
You need to put your whole soul into the process of choosing a gift or making it yourself. If you buy a thing, then let it be as useful and pleasant as possible for the parents.
It is also important to remember about the packaging. It is always interesting for each person to slowly untie the ribbons, as well as unfold the wrapper and wait for a miracle.
