Mr Gift – Quality Gifts for Men
We love these stylish bookmarks, which would be surprisingly simple to make.
1. Apply a watercolour wash.
2. When dry, draw a simple flower or leaf motif in pencil, then go over with felt tip pen.
3. Laminate bookmarks for extra durability.

We are completely in love with this Jar of Joy because you can customise the contents to suit ANY recipient. For example: healthy treats, such as nuts for people who don’t eat sugar, packets of seeds and plant labels for gardeners, beauty products like nail polish for teenage girls, etc. The colour of the ribbon and tag can also be changed up for different recipients:-)

This is the perfect gift for obsessed pet owners. These close up pics are a great way to capture the bits of your pet you love best: their wet nose, ears, tail, etc. And they’re more forgiving than getting your pet to pose!

This is a simple, but very cute gift idea – especially for children who are fascinated with dandelions. They would also be a magical addition to children’s party bags.
You can personalise the bottle and message attached to it to suit your recipient:-)

If you have scraps of fabric lying around, these fabric coat hangers are a fun way to repurpose it. We also love them because:
– This is a great technique for covering unattractive wire hangers
– The fabric prevents clothes from slipping off smooth plastic hangers.

If you have kids, chances are you haven’t been able to escape opening a Christmas advent calendar or two today! If you’re feeling a little disappointed with the lolly-ladden commercial calendars on the market at this time of the year, here are a few beautiful alternatives you can customise to suit anyone, of any age…
1. Hanging Envelopes
This stylish option can be customised to suit your recipient by simply changing the colour scheme. You could also use plain kraft paper bags for an inexpensive option, and decorate with stickers to introduce colour.
2. Christmas Crackers
Everyone loves pulling a Christmas cracker, especially when they as cute as these ones! Make your own, or take the easy option by purchasing some quality pre-made ones from the shops and add your numbers.
3. Christmas stockings
Who could resist these cute little stockings? If you sew you could make these from cool Christmas fabrics, but the easiest option is making them from felt (stitching or gluing them together) and going to town with the embellishments. The kids would have fun making them too:-)
4. Hanging Pots
As a keen plant enthusiast, this is one of my favourite options – I would fill each pot with a plant! But you can of course fill your pots with anything you like. You can write the numbers on with a white marker, chalk, or use stickers.
5. Little boxes
How cute are these! The graphic black and white patterns are a refreshing, contemporary alternative to the standard Christmas colour palette of red, green, gold and silver.
6. Re-purposed shoe organiser
A shoe or accessory organiser has never looked better when repurposed into this stylish advent calendar. This one will stand the test of time and can be folded up and used year after year. Simply stencil, write, or glue the numbers on in any colour you choose.
7. Wrapped presents
This particular example uses library books (genius!) as an inexpensive, clutter-free gift option, but you could of course wrap anything you like and number. We also love the use of kraft paper, which sets off the colourful number cards. You could also reuse the cards again next year.
8. Box of numbered envelopes
This is a very organised way of presenting your advent calendar. Whilst this wouldn’t work for larger gifts, you could fill these envelopes with inspiring messages, cards, or stickers. I love the idea of systematically picking an envelope each day and placing the previous ones at the back.

Anyone remember doilies? You know, the decorative pieces of lace grandma used to have under every lamp and on every side table? If you have any of these stashed away, these lace mason jar candle holders are a great way to repurpose them and create a vintage look in your home. You could also use these jars as pretty storage vessels.

This is a thoughtful gift for parents or grandparents who like to garden. Accompany them with this poem and you’re guaranteed to have them in tears!
The poem reads: “See these gloves daddy? They don’t fit me just yet, my handprints are on them so you never forget. I’m only small for a little while, So remember my hands and remember my smile. I love you daddy, with all my heart. No matter how much I grow, we will never grow apart.”
