Help with a gift idea?

I recently purchased a set of 6 of these tin coasters at an antique store. They are about 3 inches in diameter. I really like the print and would love to use them as part of a homemade Valentine's Day gift for my 3 sisters. The problem is, I am not very creative and can't quite think of what to do with them. I'm open to any kind of project, any suggestions would be appreciated!

Honey & Sugar Body Scrub

Mix together 1 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup olive oil (I used avocado, that works too), and 2 tbsp. honey. It will feel pretty coarse - that's the intended result

My hands felt so soft after trying it out. I gave this as a gift to my grandmother. This is perfect for the people in your life who prefer all natural cosmetics

ATIA (or weirdo) Christmas gifts

I’ve always done Christmas gifts/cards for preschool teachers, now that we’re in kindergarten I basically did the same. Our family photo Christmas card (which is what we give out every year to all our friends and family ) a gift card and a box of chocolates. We also do a little class gift, this time i did make your own snowman play dough kits. On the drive to school husband freaked out, half yelling, l that I included the family photo Christmas card and told me to take them out and that I am weird and no body gives the teachers thing. When we got to school he stayed in the car but I saw lots of people holding gift bags for the teachers, and I’m wondering if I’m weird or he is for his big reaction.

TLDR: is it weird to give your kids teachers a Christmas card with the family photo on it.

Sticky Note Alternative Gift

Hello everyone and Happy Holidays, My family does a secret santa every year but the catch is the gift has to be diy. I got my uncle this year and am looking for an idea. He always uses sticky notes for to do lists but is really bad at keeping the organized. I was hoping to make him something that is like sticky notes but he can either reuse them or organize them better. I want to avoid using dry erase and chalk if possible and I would like it for him to not have to carry a whole stack of notes with him(like a book to carry).

Please help

Any ideas????

handprinting on clothes

I really love the idea of having a "hug last forever" pullover for my parents, like in this video:
https://www.reddit.com/r/MadeMeSmile/comments/1f0ja3m/what_an_awesome_idea/

But I have never done anything like it. What should I watch out for when buying the color?

Anyone have any ideas on how to repurpose this glass picture frame? I could just cut a picture to fit but trying to think of something more creative. I have tons of hobbies so tons of possibilities/material.

Customised Deck of Cards

Hi everyone! This might be too specific, but my boyfriend loves collecting card decks, and I thought of making a completely personalised one for him (illustrated by me or illustrated by someone with my guidance/ideas). I have looked, but can't seem to find anything, apart from card decks with pictures (which is not exactly what I want). Does anyone by any chance know how I could do this? (I would rather not have to buy a whole card deck and paint each card... ahahah)
Thanks :))

1 year anniversary with my girlfriend!!

Hi all! Me and my girlfriend's 1 year anniversary is coming up soon and I really need help brainstorming some gift ideas. We're both 21; she's a pretty feminine girl, she likes nature and flowers, she likes music and taking pictures, she also likes cats.

I love her very much, and one of her love languages is gift giving, so I'm kinda stressed due to my lack of creativity.

Idk if that will help but any suggestions are deeply appreciated!

What to make the man who has everything?

Hi all,

Looking to make a Christmas gift for my boyfriend. Like so many men, he's the kind of person who buys whatever he wants whenever he wants it, so it's hard to buy him material items. I have a few ideas in mind for gifts to buy but I like to incorporate something DIY for every bday/anniversary/holiday.

He likes to mountain bike, ski, climb, camp, etc. I write him letters for every occasion, and I've made a fleece-tie blanket for him in the past, as well as a custom-made chalk bucket from leather. I have leatherworking experience, simple sewing experience, and I've done plenty of crafting in my life. Need some ideas for something creative for Christmas. TIA!

How to DIY a Paint By Sticker book?

Appreciate any tips and guidance here!

The goal is to take my art, vectorized, and create a Paint By Sticker book for my partner. Mostly, does anyone know where I would find a company that does custom sticker pages that could work for this purpose? Feeling like I could be in over my head with this one, but I'm hoping not!

Ideas for a Domain Name "HemGuide.com"?

Hey everyone,

I recently acquired the domain "hemguide.com" and am exploring potential uses for it. It seems like a great fit for sewing, fashion, or DIY crafts. I’d love to get some feedback or ideas from this community!

What kind of business or resource would you expect to find at "hemguide.com"?

Also, if anyone here is interested in taking this domain off my hands for a project, feel free to reach out. I’m open to discussing possibilities.

Thanks in advance!
