Gift Guide for DIYers, Wrappers, Writers, and Interior Designers


7 Gift Ideas for "The DIYer"...

  1. Twine $14 I believe all DIY lovers have a thing for bakers twine. You can't really go wrong with it - especially if it's a cute color.
  2. Paint your own Nesting Doll Kit $14 If they are handy with a paintbrush, I think this would be a cute idea. Also Nesting Dolls are always so cute. And how fun to have a hand painted set:)
  3. Dino Planter DIY I think giving a gift of supplies for a DIY is a great idea! Gather all the supplies and also print off the directions. Wrap it in a cute basket. FUN!
  4. Paper Petal Book $24.95 I CANNOT wait to get my hands on this book. And I think most DIYer's will also feel the same way. Paper Flowers are always amazing.
  5. DIY Bracelet Here's another DIY that would be a perfect one to give them all the supplies and give them a "DIY basket".
  6. Michaels Gift Card Give them a gift card to their favorite craft supply store. it could be online or in their neighborhood.
  7. Geo Terrarium $44 Give them a beautiful terrarium and some moss and an air plant and some other fun stuff and let them create a new terrarium in their home.

Next up... "The Gift Wrapper"...
okay, It may seem CRAZY to gift wrapping supplies, BUT don't believe the lie. If a person is passionate about gift wrapping then this is such a great way to go. Cause let's face it... we (me and my fellow gift wrap enthusiasts) love fancy gift wrap items but we usually won't spend the money to buy them for ourselves. Enter YOU!

  1. Stitched Wrapping Paper $12 I love this stitched wrapping paper. It's such a fun idea! Anthro has so many great giftwrap options and they usually have a lot of it in the stores during the holiday season.
  2. Felted Gift Toppers $10 I am seriously craving these. They would look so adorable on my gifts.
  3. Wooden Gift Cards $14 Gift Tags are always fun but wooden ones...amazing!
  4. Fabric Ribbon $10 Buy them some fabric ribbon to use for wrapping or lots of other things too.
  5. Petite Parcel Set $14 This is a sweet little set of wrapping supplies with maps. I love this idea - you could also get them old (never been used) wallpaper.
  6. Rifle Paper Co. Wrapping Sheet $4.50 Fancy paper is done sooooo right by Rifle Paper Co. They have so many beautiful options.
  7. Velvet Ribbon $10 Oh velvet ribbon, how much I love thee. Plus, it looks so beautiful left out on display too.

  1. Writer Bracelet $12 Beautiful bracelet that gives some encouragement.
  2. Slogan Pencil Pack $14 Fun pencils are a great idea. Plus you can never have too many pencils. I love the little encouraging statements on these and the colors are lovely.
  3. Bird by Bird by Anne Lamott $12.36 Pretty much every author I've ever talked to has said how great this book is. And then they say it doesn't even matter if you are a writer or not, they LOVE this book. So clearly it's a great book, but you'll want to ask a few questions and make sure they haven't already devoured it.
  4. Post card Puzzle DIY Most writers also are a fan of words of affirmation. So, this idea...would be perfect. And it's also a great group gift idea. It's a birthday card but I bet you could make the same thing for Christmas. Such a great idea... get a group of friends to mail their piece of the puzzle (it's a post card) to the receiver and make sure you have them write their fav thing about the person on the back.
  5. 642 Things to Write $14.40 This is a fun gift to help them get the creative juices flowing. Sometimes you just can't think of anything to write about. And this book will give you ideas.
  6. Journal $24 Sometimes a beautiful journal can be inspiration to start writing again. BUT please get them unique and stunning journals. regular journals can be found anywhere plus I think we all have been given waaaaay to many boring journals over the years. So make it special.
  7. Typewriter Tote $9.79 This little tote is super cute and a perfect size to throw your laptop in and head to the coffee shop to write. Great gift idea for any blogger or writer.

Last up today... "The Interior Designer"...
Professional or not, gifts for folks that are passionate about home decor/design. This can be a really intimidating person to buy for, especially if they are professional. But here are a few tips to make the experience less scary.
- only buy things that you easily picture in their home somewhere. - buy from a store you know they already shop at, chances are they will like it then - put the receipt in the box... if you include the receipt that let's them know you won't be offended if they want to return it. PLUS, they may already have the item (since you are shopping at one of "their" stores) you just haven't seen it before. - I think you are smart to stick to small, well made, fun, and inexpensive things. Things that remind you of the person and their home. Don't forget the home part. A person may LOVE cats but if you've never seen any cat figurines or pillows with cat paws on them - chances are they only like REAL cats and they don't like to decorate them. - Also if they have a ton of something in their home... be careful buying them more of said option. A lot of times if a person has a collection of things they are pretty particular about the new pieces they bring in. That's owls for me. I have SOOOOOO many now, that in order for the owl to be allowed to move in it has to be a pretty special owl.

  1. Multiple Pencil Holder $48 These piece could be used as a pencil holder like it's called, but I really think it would make a really sweet bud vase or table center piece.
  2. Jellyfish Air Plant $12 Air plants! Air plants! Air plants! Buy them air plants! I love this upside down quirky one but you don't have to go the "jellyfish" route. search etsy for air plants and you'll find sooooo many options.
  3. Cloche Terrarium $39 The beauty of a cloche is - they are in fashion AND the person can put whatever they want in them and then change it next month for something different. They are super fun to decorate with.
  4. St. Jude Glass Knot Paperweight $19-39 Buy them something unique and beautiful that's a great conversation piece. This paperweight is ALL these things. So pretty and I love that's it's supporting a great cause.
  5. Domino Book $19.77 You can't go wrong with a beautiful design book. But remember to include the receipt in case they already have that one. Also, try finding one that's cover fits in their living room color scheme. That way it will also make a great coffee table book:)
  6. Rocking Birds $14-$29 Fun little accents like these rocking birds are great gifts. They are small yet pack a BIG decor punch.
  7. Log Vases $19-$29 Get them two of the same thing in different sizes. I know, I know - the rule of threes. Click HERE and watch the video and learn why you should only two of the same thing and one different in that rule.
