I’m sure you have at least one member of the family who gives you a major headache when it comes to buying him or her a present. Or that sometimes you wish you could come up with something more original than (another) drinking cup/tea set/scented candle for your grandmother or a friend. Or that you become stuck for ideas when you find yourself in need for that special present for the loved ones, for a special occasion.
Giving gifts is supposed to be a pleasure, sure. But no-one ever said that coming up with the idea for a gift is a pleasure too – it’s actually a bit more of a frustration…
But if you apply a bit of creativity to the problem above you can come up with some very interesting, out-of-ordinary gifts. There’s a number of things you can actually make yourself (yes, even if you do not have a painting/sculpting/pottery or another artistic talent). And cheesy as it sounds, it is true that those who love you would appreciate a present which you made with your own hands much, much more than even the most exquisite tea drinking set.
