Last minute handmade gift idea

Here is a simple, yet elegant, gift to make for someone dear to you.

 

This week I had to purchase several gift cards for some dear friends of mine.  Gift cards can be a very practical gift to give, however, they can be received as somewhat impersonal.  

I wanted to add a little personality to the gift cards, without having to spend anything extra.

I decided to make these cute "inspirational stones".  

With each gift card, I included several stones, that represented the receiver.  For instance, one friend received some stones that said, "nourish" "make" "cook" "love"~ This friend has a deep passion for cuisine.   

These stones can be given to practically anyone.  Teachers, new moms, friends, neighbors etc.

They are extremely simple to make and cost next to nothing.  In fact, Sapphire (my 7 year old) did most of the work. 

The glass pebbles cost me $1.99 for about 100.  Here is the printable pdf file I used. 

I cut out the words and Sapphire glued them to the back of the pebble.  We finished them with a coat of modge podge.

 

Is it not amazing how you can describe someone in as little as 5 words?  

If I were to make stones for you, what words would you pick to describe yourself?
