DIY Gift Ideas Your Best Friend Will Love

Your best friend’s birthday is coming up, and you want to give them something truly special. While a trip to the mall is easy, a gift made with your own two hands is packed with love and memories. Here are three amazing DIY gift ideas that are guaranteed to make your bestie feel loved.

1. The Personalized Sharpie Mug: This is a classic for a reason! All you need is a plain ceramic mug and some oil-based permanent markers. Write an inside joke, draw a picture of you two, or simply write their name in a beautiful font. Let it dry, bake it in the oven (check marker instructions!), and you have a gift they’ll use every single day.

2. A “Jar of Sunshine”: This gift is pure happiness in a jar. Find a nice glass jar and fill it with little hand-written notes. Each note should be a happy memory, a compliment, an inside joke, or a reason why you love their friendship. Tell them to open one whenever they need a pick-me-up. Decorate the jar with ribbons and a custom tag!

3. The Ultimate Friendship Bracelet Stack: Friendship bracelets are back in a big way! Instead of just one, make a “stack” of three or four bracelets using different colours and techniques. You can find tonnes of easy tutorials online. Use colours that you know they love. It’s a stylish and sentimental gift that they can wear all the time.

The best part about DIY gifts is the thought and effort you put in. Grab your craft supplies from our DIY & Craft Kits section and start creating a gift that comes straight from the heart.
