Last second home-made gift ideas: HELP!!!

<< < (5/6) > >>

wreckedcarzz:
I like the framed picture idea, there are a few dollar/99 cent stores nearby...

I can't do anything with food :( but the quiz sounds cool... its unique.

I don't have any scrap wood large enough to work with, unfortunately, and we won't be making a trip to the local hardware store (Lowes) anytime before Christmas now. :( It would be a really awesome idea if I had the supplies and could keep my parents out of the garage for a couple hours.


Maybe I can Photoshop up a cookie family, then frame it (or have my sister make the frame... somehow? - she's good with that kind of paper/creative works and stuff). Then just make individual copies for each person (their own cookie alone). :)

Last second edit: My mom doesn't do any sewing (we have VERY minimal supplies, and (trying to keep the project quiet) with me and my sister, about the same amount of experience) and all older clothes get donated/trashed.. my dad and I are the only two packrats :P

So many awesome ideas... gah. So much stuff but never the right kind! :-\

app103:
Along the same idea as writing a story, how about this?

-DUH-

What about recording a song with you & your sister singing???

steeladept:
Nosh, that is awesome! 

I knew App103 would have some great ideas - she always does.  Reminds me of my mom and sister that way.

One thing we have done in the past when cash was tight was to make gift certificates for services we could do.  For example, 1 night free babysitting for a parent's night out or 1 time clean out the garage.  Something like that.  It could be redeemed at a later date when you have time, and can provide a highly valuable service.  Just be sure it isn't something you would end up doing anyway - unless of course you are making in into a joke gift ;)
