Recently I turned 26. To be honest, I don't know how that happened... it feels like just yesterday I was graduating high school. Well, it seems that time really flies. Luckily, I have some incredible friends to spend my time with. And each year for my birthday they surprise me with touching birthday wishes and some amazing DIY and/or perfectly picked gifts.
As I already mentioned in my first post, I believe that the most valuable things in life (when speaking about material stuff) are handcrafted - or in other words HEARTmade. That's why I prefer DIY gifts – I enjoy making that 'perfect' present for that special someone, and I love receiving gifts that I know were crafted with love and especially for me. :)
And here are a few of my favorites:
1) Slippers with Timon and Pumbaa
2) Earring holder made out of the grater
3) Personalized board game – one pawn represents me and the other ones my friends; also, tasks written on the cards are based on our common experiences and inside jokes
4) The lamp – how cool is this? :)
5) Aaaand... my favorite - the movie containing all our jokes, songs, etc.
If you're not a DIY person, don't worry. You can find „that perfect“ gift in stores if you really know the person you are buying for. For an example, I'd say this is a perfect gift for a DIY lover (thanks again M., I love it):
But, since the best things in life aren't things at all, the most precious gifts that I've got are my friends. Life would be empty and boring without those amazing, kind and crazy women who have been giving me the pieces of them for over 7 years – actually, one of them puts up with me for 14.5 years. :)
Also, about 4 months ago, I met some new beautiful people... and I hope they'll stick around for some time – for the next 7, 14, 30... years. Because, let's face it, life is sweeter if you can share it with someone and the best gift you can receive is someone's heart and the chance to be the part of his/her life.
