I’m currently in a whirlwind of gift making. A dear friend of mine has her birthday (today actually, her gift will be late, oops!) and is having a really rough time with life right now, so I decided to send her a special gift. This is the one with the pink butterfly card, and everything is going along the pink theme here!
This little box was a great idea I found on Pinterest and modified for the supplies I had on hand and could find at the dollar store.
Inside is a variety of small objects and a poem:
Your hope chest…
A star to remind you to keep shining
A paperclip to help you hold it all together
An eraser to fix all your mistakes
A lock
to keep all your secrets safe
A penny so that you’re never broke
An elastic to help you stretch beyond your limitss
A bottle of glitter for when life’s in need of a little more bling
A bandaid for when you fall and scrape yourself
A marble for the day you’re sure you’ve lost yours
A candle so you always have light
And a mint
for when life just stinks.
A paperclip to help you hold it all together
An eraser to fix all your mistakes
A lock
to keep all your secrets safe
A penny so that you’re never broke
An elastic to help you stretch beyond your limitss
A bottle of glitter for when life’s in need of a little more bling
A bandaid for when you fall and scrape yourself
A marble for the day you’re sure you’ve lost yours
A candle so you always have light
And a mint
for when life just stinks.
I also included a frame I had sitting around with a stamped quote in it, a feather boa, some candy and a small notebook. I ended up adding a friendship bracelet I made while sitting in front of the TV too.
I made another box for a different friend, I’ll post photos of that when I’m done with it!
