Need ideas

My little sister’s senior band season is coming up, and I help at band camp. The parents always give there seniors different gifts. I need some ideas on what to make/ buy for them then. Their show is like heaven/hell themed? It could be keychains, stickers, literally anything. I just need a good description of the idea so I can make it perfect. Thank you 😍

Creative thank you gift for 100+ crew of medical drama TV show

The TV show I am working on is coming to an end soon, and I’d love to be able to thank the entire cast and crew! But because the team is over a 100 people, I’m hoping to DIY a lot of little gifts to keep it budget friendly!

The TV show is set in a hospital, so I’m looking to do a medical themed gift :)

I do have this one idea, and although I think it’s cute, it does seem a touch wasteful haha. I was thinking of buying those orange pill bottles in bulk and filling them with candies and making cute, custom medicine labels with thank yous on it and what not. However, I feel awful about wasting all of those plastic pill bottles! If you have ways to improve on this idea, let me know! I also had thoughts of creating little “bandaids” thank you notes, but I’d prefer to give a little snack/treat/or something with it. But this is the general vibe of what I’m looking to do! Also, I don’t know everyone on a super personal level, so hoping for general crowd pleasing thank you gift!

Thank you in advance for the help!

Scrapbook ideas for birthday gift?

(Hi everyone! this is my first post ever so I hope I can find some help around here, please be kind)

My gfs birthday is coming up in around 10 days and I had thought about making her a scrapbook. She runs a private ig account where she has been uploading at least one picture of herself and talking about her day everyday for the last three-ish years. She really loves it as she sees it as an online diary, and she has mentioned a couple times that she would really like to have a physical copy of it where she could annotate her thoughts and revisit past times. I thought about printing her daily posts and making a scrapbook with some space for her to add her own comments.

My problem is that, as it turns out, there are more than 3.000 pictures on that account! Although I don't think she wants to keep every picture, there are at least around 400 that I would have to print, cut and paste into the scrapbook all by hand.

I'm open to suggestions about other formats I could try (it doesn't have to be a scrapbook necessarily, just something that results in her having a physical copy of the pictures).

Sorry for the long post, please let me know if you can think of anything and thanks in advance!!

Laundry gift basket for college student saying ideas

Making a laundry gift basket for a HS grad who is going to be a first year college student next school year. She had registered for a laundry basket so thought I’d make a basket with everything she needs to do laundry. Trying to come up with creative college sayings/tips using some of the brand names I bought (Tide, Downy, Fels-Naptha, Snuggle, Shout). Any ideas? The outside of the gift basket will say “Have LOADS of fun in college.”

My friend had a stroke not too long ago, and their leg still hurts from time to time. I want to make a cane for them, I have some steel pipe lying around and thought I could use it. Does anyone have any experience with something like this?

A childhood trauma

When I was 10, my grandmother bought me a Sea Monkeys growing kit for my birthday. I nagged for two years and finally got my dream gift. Even though I followed all of the steps, nothing hatched, and I was heartbroken. My kid turned 8, and I decided to leave my concerns behind and got him this kit. Before I gave it to him, I had to make sure it works well, no reason to break his heart, right? So I took a deep breath, ordered this kit, and gave it a go. Skeptical, I followed the instructions, and the bastards hatched! So now I actually want to keep this one for myself. #overprotectivedad #badparent

Need help on how to put a date atop a picture frame

Hi, I am a talentless husband, and need help for my wife's birthday present. I found a three pictured frame (link here on Amazon)

The frame will have pictures from our first date. I'd like to write atop the frame the date of our first date, but don't know the best or most creative way to do it (besides writing in Sharpie). Any easy, simple ideas for how to do this?

Thank you!!

Gifts for dad, his partner and my grandparents

So I would like to make gifts for the aforementioned people. They (and my fiancé’s small family) are all ive got and with things going on, I want to make them rather than buy them something. But also because of what’s going on, my mind is just kinda blank and I don’t want to think.

Dad: he has cancer that is really affecting his legs but he’s incredibly independent. I was thinking something for his garden. They love growing their own vegetables, have flowers/plants and ornaments (gnomes, hanging animals etc).

His partner: same as my dad. Except the cancer part. I’m not sure what she has. I’m not sure if anyone knows. Or if they’re just not telling me. But she’s in isolation. I don’t know what can go in there. I just want her to know I care.

Grandma: she recently moved into a smaller place and so it would have to be quite small. She likes cutesy things that are also useful. I’m not sure what else to say. I’m trying to learn how to knit so I can knit her a scarf but that’s going to take a lot more time.

Grandpa: there’s not much I can say about him. He’s very sick, keeps having strokes. It changes his personality so much. He lives on a big farm though (very stubborn, refuses to leave) but I don’t think he has animals. Again, I want it to include that I care.

Sorry for the lack of detail. I just got some bad news tonight so I’m kinda blah I guess. Please help if you can. Thank you

Oh I’m in Australia. So we don’t have a lot of stores America has that would probably be good for this kind of thing.
