Creative Gift Ideas, Part 2

In a recent Wise Women segment on Wednesday evenings, Candy S. presented a great list of creative gift ideas. There were so many, in fact, that we've split them up into several posts. The first group of ideas, for young children, can be found here. Below is the second group of ideas. (Click on the images to go to the websites with more information.)

Girly Gifts


  • Friendship Bracelet Kits

  • Headband/Necklace Tree

  • Ribbon Belt/Bracelets

  • Pen Pal Kit - Pretty stationary, stamps, nice pens stored in a pretty box
  • Craft or Kitchen Toolbox - Provide a toolbox, sewing box, tote, etc and help to start a collection of tools for a craft or cooking. Follow each year/event with an addition to that collection.
