For when you want the recipient to love the packaging as much as the present…
You’ll want to use Custom Selfie Gift Wrap Paper. Ever heard of it?
It’s custom designed wrapping paper that features photos of somebody’s cut-out head. It could be the gift recipient’s face, their pet’s face, or your face. Or the whole family’s faces!
Everyone who sees the Custom Selfie Gift Wrap Paper will get a good laugh! The designs are just so silly!
I donut know about you, but I love this gift idea!
It’s a cute, fun and non-traditional way to celebrate, appreciate or congratulate a person or group! I’m talking about donuts in the shapes of letters so they spell out a message – whatever you want to say.
This edible gift idea is really popular with kids on their birthdays. I love that different words can be decorated to look totally different. Who knew donuts could be so fancy!
You could even surprise them with the box of donuts at school so they can share the donuts with the whole class. Kids will remember Custom Message Donuts over cupcakes any day. And your child holding the big box of donuts will make for such a cute picture!
Adults would love these too. Imagine their face when they find a big box on their desk at work and open it to see what’s inside. It’s only morning and you’ve already made their day! How very thoughtful of you.
When my grandmother was in the hospital due to a terrible car accident, I wanted badly to cheer her up.
I hope you get back in the SWING of things soon!
She lived two states away so I couldn’t do anything in person. I needed to get creative.
I’m always taking pictures of my toddler son. There are hundreds of them on the camera roll of my phone. Going through them gave me an idea when I came across a photo of my son on a swing at the park.
Seeing his smile made me smile, and I knew it would make my grandmother smile too.
I took the photo and added colorful hearts and the message, “I hope you get back in the SWING of things soon!”
What’s even better than a farmer’s market for fresh produce and a fresh experience?
Pick-your-own farms! You’ll get the freshest, most flavorful fruits and vegetables for less money.
Even better, it’s a memorable and delicious way to spend time with friends and loved ones.
My husband and I took our toddler son to pick blackberries for the first time this summer. (It was my first time too!)
We enjoyed hunting for juicy, ripe blackberries among the blackberry bushes and filling up our pint-sized berry baskets.
Balloons turn adults into little kids again, especially when they appear in an unexpected place like the office!
Turning someone’s work space, whether it’s their office or cubicle, into a playroom of colorful balloons is a great way to surprise someone for their birthday, work anniversary, or to congratulate them on an achievement.
Giving someone a Balloon Room Surprise could mean blowing up enough balloons to cover their floor and their desk, or it could mean filling the entire room with balloons all the way to the ceiling!
For a thoughtful twist to the Balloon Room Surprise, hide a gift among the balloons for them to find!
Chocolate Band-Aids! Who thinks these things up? Whoever they are… I’m glad they do. I love the idea!
As a child, Band-Aids on a boo boo always made me feel better even if they were the plain kind. No originality waaay back then.
My children chose their own Band-Aids like Spider-Man or The Hulk. The instant a super hero Band-Aid was applied to a scrape, cut or scratch, my kids were up and running.
Now, you can get rid of someone’s crocodile tears and create a smile by giving a treat of chocolate Band-Aids! Continue Reading
No longer does it have to be winter for everyone to enjoy a free-for-all snowball fight. Because someone invented indoor snowballs!
Indoor Snowballs actually feel and squish like real snowballs even though they’re soft and dry!
Kids, adults, the whole family will enjoy getting into an indoor snowball fight. Minus the cold, wet mess of course. No one ever liked that part anyway.
Here are ways to use indoor snowballs to add a ton of unexpected fun and laughter to any occasion. You might even get a little workout from all that throwing!
Everyone from toddlers, kids, teenagers and adults will get a kick out of indoor snowballs! They make a fantastic gift for all ages at any time of year. Oooh, think how perfect these would be for a Frozen themed party!
Do you ever need a reason to celebrate? I’ve got hundreds of them for you.
Almost 365 reasons really because there exists an obscure holiday on almost every day of the year. How is this a thoughtful gift idea?
Because people will love you for turning an ordinary day into an unexpected celebration!
If you work in an office, you’ll be giving your co-workers an opportunity to take a break from staring at their computers to have a little bit of excitement and variety.
Take this scenario. It’s a typical Monday at the office. You surprise everyone with s’mores because it’s National S’mores Day! Your co-workers enjoy eating their delicious snack, and it makes them feel like a kid again thanks to you!
Bosses, supervisors and managers can use obscure holidays related to food (think Sundae Day and Pie Day!) to show some love to their employees.
On Popcorn Day, you could give your friends, family members or co-workers flavored popcorn. Oreo Popcorn is my favorite and it’s easy to make!
You could also place an unpopped bag of popcorn on your co-workers’ desks with a small note about it being National Popcorn Day. They’ll appreciate the snack and the fact that you thought of them, making it a thoughtful gift!
Here is a list of some obscure holidays that would be fun to celebrate. View a more comprehensive list.
WARNING: This present should not be given by itself.
My husband and I are huge fans of the TV show Game of Thrones. We have two young kids so watching the show together after the kids are in bed is our precious “us time.”
I like to joke that I’m like Daenerys Targaryen. She’s the Mother of Dragons. Well, I’m the Mother of Dragen. My oldest son was born in 2012, the Year of the Dragon, so I named him Aiden Dragen Jaeger.
For my husband’s birthday this year, I wanted to give him some things related to Game of Thrones. I finally decided on a t-shirt that features Hodor’s only quote.
“HODOR”
– Hodor
I purchased the Game of Thrones theme song and secretly added it as the sound he hears when his alarm goes off in the morning. I wanted him to begin every day in an epic way.
I also paired my gifts with an “If I Could, I Would…” Wishful Thinking Gift, something you would give if you had all the money in the world.
Kids grow up so fast. Their appearance changes even faster which is why us parents love to take a gazillion photos. We don’t want to forget how they looked today because they may look different tomorrow.
Think about how your friends and family feel when they only receive photos of your kiddo(s) at Christmas time. It’s torture having to wait an entire year to see how they’ve grown!
When my son was born, I started sending photo greeting cards to my family and friends for Christmas and for Independence Day. That way they get an updated photo of Aiden every six months.
It’s also a fun surprise for everyone since no one expects to receive a Happy 4th of July card in the mail! I always get great feedback.
