1. Keep it personal: it shows how much you care when you really remember what you know about the person you are creating for! For my brother's family, I made this silly little cartoon of their little budding family.
2. Find a fun through line: for me this year, it was Peanuts!! I found these little cardboard cut-outs at Michael's, pulled out my glue gun, and went to town! I had a blast picking out each specific character for my friends!
3. Mix homemade and store-bought accents
4. Cardstock ROCKS.
5. Homemade gifts/greetings are ALWAYS better! It shows you were willing to give some time to this greeting, not just a couple of bucks in the Hallmark aisle.
6. Find creative ways to send your message: this year I used bananagrams letters and love the result!
7. Glitter is ALWAYS a good idea!
8. Take something completely random and beautify it to make it a treasured goodie: This year, I painted a small pizza box white and decorated it with hearts, pictures, and Peanuts comics. It became the gift box for Chuck's present!
That's what I have for today... coming soon: pictures of my gift for Chuck! It turned out really well I think and I'm excited to share! :)
