Certain people in your life have come into it, stayed, and made it better. Through thick and thin they have been by your side, and you have managed to overcome the hard times in your relationship together and have been made stronger for it. It’s these people that make it all worth it, and the memories you share with them will always be special.
It’s also why you might want to show how much you care to these individuals, and sentimental gifts that represent your relationship and how well you know them are the best way to do this. Here are 5 gift ideas you can use for the next birthday, anniversary, holiday season, or just because you wanted to give them something nice.
1. Scrapbook
Scrapbooks are great ways to document your time together, and they can also be a lot of fun to make. Find photos of you together, with their family, anything that is a snapshot of the best times, and stick them in your scrapbook. You can decorate the pages and write little notes or quotes that mean something to you both, as well as adding any other memorabilia from your times together in there. It’s something they can keep forever and will love to look at in years to come.
2. Quilts
For those who are skilled with a needle and thread, making a quilt could also make a good sentimental gift. You can use pieces of fabric from old clothes that they might have loved but no longer wear, or you can embroider the pieces with imagery that’s symbolic of your time together, as a scene or character from your favorite movie, song lyrics, and so on. If you don’t want to do this yourself, take a look at t-shirt blankets and have one of those made instead.
3. Write a Book
Even if you’re not a talented wordsmith, writing a novelty book that documents your friendship or relationship could be a fun gift. You can have your books printed easily with ‘on-demand’ services if you want it to have a professional finish, or simply use a quality notebook to write down your tales. Either way, this is something they can read time and time again and it’s sure to bring a smile to their face.
4. Upcycled Jewelry
Another good idea is by turning a small or medium-sized item that means something to them into jewelry. For example, this could be a coin or one earring that used to belong to a pair but the other one went missing. These things can be turned into necklaces or bracelets that they can wear every day, giving the old item a new lease on life.
5. Home Video
Similar to a scrapbook, a compilation of home videos onto a disk or USB stick that they can watch over and over is a great way to document the best moments of your time together.
