We've decided not to do a gift exchange at Christmas to keep costs down but would like to make a gift for each person that would be special to them. Any ideas?
Answer
try printing or whatever a bunch of pictures and make a photo album. Use scrap papers that have pretty designs on them and add captions. This would be best for a friend more then your mom or dad or something. My friend liked it(: But to help you get some more ideas, try doing something they can use. Like I made the thing for my mom to hang all her jewelry on, look at things you want to get for him or her and try to make it on your own. Anything is good, if it's sentimental and hand made they'll be sure to love it. Or atleast act like they do....

Any idea how to make a nail polish bouquet?

I wanted to do something creative for my mom's bday/mothers day gift. She likes to do her nails so I thought maybe get some O.P.I nail polishes and make it into a bouquet. I know it sounds weird, but I thought maybe it was worth the shot to see if anyone else has had the same idea or a better idea and have actually done it. If you have or if you have a better and creative idea let me know! : )
Answer
I used to be a stylist and manicurist. We would do bouquets for customers by taking a small basket, put the polish bottles in upside down(round bottles work best), sometimes we would stick dried leaves, ferns and other floral shop extras in with the bottles, then would wrap a bow around the basket. Depending on the way they sit in the basket, you may need to tie a wire around them through the tape and have it go through the bottom of the basket to hold them firmly. These sold really well and it was hard to keep them in stock, so they are a very popular gift. Your Mom will love it.
Sometimes we would put a nice handkerchief in the side of the basket with a corner hanging out or just line the basket with it and have it hanging out all around the edges to look nice.
Sometimes you need to wrap tape around the caps of the bottle to make them hold together or they fall out easy.
