Have you heard the expression that the best things in life are free? Well the same can be true for the best free 30th birthday presents. Often neglected when it comes to presents is the gift of our time to friends. With some simple materials and a little bit of time and effort, you can create memorable free 30th birthday presents for your friends and family.
Below are 1 or 2 ideas to get you started:
Home made, handmade gifts can make extremely cheap or maybe free 30th birthday gifts for your family. Here are some of my personal favorites:
Hand-painted Glasses or Serving Dishes
Wine or Cocktail glasses make for perfect background for hand-painted subjects. You can give a single or create a collection of specialty glasses paired with a special bottle of wine or recipe card of your favourite martini. Packaging can make a giant impression and does not need to cost lots. A simple painted or decorative wooden box with some raffia or shredded tissue, tied with a pretty ribbon, makes a gorgeous and adored presentation.
Another concept on this same vein, is to buy a clear serving platter and paint the bottom of the platter (the side that doesn't come in contact with the food), so the pattern shows thru from above. Add some homemade cookies or dessert and you have got a perfect birthday present.
Home-made Natural Home Accents
Think about free raw materials that may be used to make gifts. Seashells, pine-cones, tiny pebbles and decorative stones, and little sticks make superb for great resources. A hand-crafted seashell mirror, wreath or candle-holder makes a handy home accent. Pinecones, pebbles and little sticks are another free raw material that can be used to make ornamental items such as wreaths, picture frames and centerpieces. Use your imagination and think about your birthday gift recipient's interests and decorating style to make a decision upon a suitable craft project.
Give of Yourself"The Gift of Time
The premise of giving anyone a gift is to make sure they know that they're recalled, valued and suggestive in your life. If your pal of family member is short on time and wishes some extra help just keeping up, you can pitch in to help them. Cook up a few special meals and package them individually to offer a healthy, fast dinner-time meal. Bake some cookies or a special pudding as a special treat. Offer to help with household tasks such as cleaning, gardening, lawn care or other must-do's for your chum or family. Most likely they'll pitch in with you and the time spent together will make the chore go much more quickly.
Give a Private Lesson in Your Neighborhood of Expertise
Teach your buddy or family member a new skill in which you have experience. Do you play an instrument? A Sport? Garden? Know how to paint or draw? If your special somebody has an interest in learning this talent, schedule time each week to give them a lesson on that actual subject so that they can master it also.
Occasionally the best things in life do come free and can be given for free 30th birthday presents. Take some time to consider and research your recipient's interests to make your gift private and meaningful.
