Something that is so much fun to have done! A lot of people go for tigers and butterflies but why not try and be totally original in what you come up with like a dolphin or an alien! A facepainter would be a brilliant addition to a social get together or a family or friend event, like a birthday! Or you could always have a go at facepainting yourself with a few willing volunteers! There are books with step by step instructions for facepainting different animals and characters. Either way if you or your friends are attempting the facepainting, or each having your own face painted, it will be a lot of fun, and definately something to talk about!

Why not try spending a small amount of time away from that person that you love so much. Just by spending a week away with some friends or visiting family can make you realise just how much that person means to you…

Maybe you wouldn’t realise just how much you would miss them and the little things that they do, like cuddling up to them at night and hearing them snore away!

By spending some  time apart, when you see your loved one again, it would make you realise what you have with them and cherish it, so that you would make the most of the time that you have together.

This doesn’t have to mean that you will be littering with a potential result of broken glass. Instead it could be a sentimental gift idea. You could fill the bottom of a bottle with beads, sand and shells or something that the recipient would like. You could then write a note, a love letter, a poem, or anything you fancy. For a bit of fun you could always write in ye olde language or make it a little piratey arrr! Make it look old such as with the use of wet tea bags, then roll it up so it looks like a  scroll. Add it to the bottle, then add the cork, or screw top. For a final touch you could add a label or a ribbon.

For another gift idea you could always make a mini message in a bottle which could be turned into a necklace!
