Wedding/Anniversary Gift

Rohini10-80 — Fri, 08 Jan 2010 21:42:28 +0000

Most of the times a normal wedding gift will be gone in the flood of other common gifts. Sometimes it will find its way to an other wedding as a gift or sometimes it might end up in one of the forsaken racks.

Why not give a gift which the couple might actually find special and might be willing to flaunt?

For all the married couples the wedding day is special, there is no question about it.
How about using that fact in your gift?
Well, I am talking about framing their wedding invitation and gifting them.
It will definitely find a place in their list of great keepsakes.
It would be nice to see something which reminds them of their special day, hanging on their wall.

You can also use this idea as an Anniversary Gift for a special friend or relative instead of just wishing them

I tried to create the frame myself with the help of some origami paper flowers. Have a look!

If you have an hour of spare time you can try making this yourself or you can just buy a traditional Photo frame from the shop and put the wedding invitation inside, It gives that classy look.

Paper cut candle gifts

Rohini10-80 — Wed, 09 Dec 2009 09:57:08 +0000

Ever thought of using paper for covering glass votive candles? They look beautiful trust me!
These look amazing on your table, perfect for a candle light dinner.
They also look beautiful in the day light on your desk to show off your artistic taste.
Have a look at what I made today. They were fairly simple to make and it took me around an hour to make these.

I tried some random ideas. I am really bad at drawing and designs. While doing the floral design I kinda left the paper cutting of the leaves hanging. Liked that look.
If you are planning to try this idea, do not use the paper around a candle with out a glass votive.

Say it with Pictures!

They say picture can speak volumes and I say its very true.
This pictures gift will give voice to your feelings and will capture the essence perfectly..

If you are looking for really different and unique way of conveying a message, then you should definitely try this gift idea.

For all those Men who want to impress their woman and for all those ladies who are running out of ideas as what to gift, here comes the wonderful gift idea.

Say it with Pictures!! Yeah right, literally..
Go out and get yourself clicked.
The mission is pretty simple. You will give the photos with the hidden message to your loved one and leave the delight of decoding to her/him.

For making this gift all you need is a camera/cell phone cam and a person to click your pictures (Take the help of your friend or a passerby)

Point at an alphabet in each picture. Be creative, try different places(Malls, Restaurants, shops) use the name boards, signs, wall posters anything and everything. Try different poses and expressions.
Trust me, You too will enjoy the craziness involved in making this gift , roaming around in different places, enjoying the attention of the people around looking at you for posing so weirdly near the alphabets

If you want to say “I Love You”, all you need is 8 pics with you pointing at those alphabets, one letter in each picture. ( I,L,O,V,E,Y,O,U)
If you want to cut down the pics try finding letters for “I Luv U”

I made this last year for my boy friend,who is now my hubby.
Have a look at the sample pictures to get an idea. (Just uploading the thumbnails)

You can try this for different occasions and for conveying different messages like
H,A,P,P,Y B,I,R,T,H,D,A,Y ( or just HAPPY B’DAY)
H,A,P,P,Y A,N,N,I,V,E,R,S,A,R,Y
T,H,A,N,K Y,O,U
I A,M S,O,R,R,Y (or FORGIVE ME)
W,I,L,L Y,O,U M,A,R,R,Y M,E (or BE MINE)
any message at all..

Develop the pics and mail them to their address. You can also upload the pics and e-mail them if you want it to be delivered faster.
If the person stays in a different city or country, this idea works perfect as it doesn’t involve much of postal charges.

Have a fun photo session

Want to propose for marriage? Want to send a birthday message? Have a sorry/forgive me note?Want a unique gift for this Anniversary? Have a love letter to give?
This time try to convey the message in a real different and special way which can be treasured for the life time. One of the best handmade gifts. Really affordable and does not take much of your time.
All you need is a nice glass bottle with a wooden cork , little sand (Optional), few pebbles (can get artificial pebbles in any gift shop or a flower shop) , You can also try painting normal stones and putting them in. Add small pieces of glitter ribbons inside ( This is totally left to you, You can experiment with adding few beads, pearls etc) and finally use a hand-made thick paper for that aged parchment paper look (You can get these sheets in any stationary shop). Write in your message, hand roll it and tie it with a satin ribbon.
If you want to be more creative you can try attaching a hand made tag and tying it around the neck of the bottle. Try the Bar code on tag and name the price as “Priceless” o’corz .

This gift is surely going to win hearts. Communicate beautifully and overwhelm them completely
This will be a beautiful reminder each day of a precious, tender, once in a life-time moment…
