National Women’s Day: Gift Ideas for All Women.
While National Women’s Day is celebrated in many ways across the country, it’s a day to recognise and celebrate women’s immense contributions. Here are DIY gift ideas for women to help you show your love and appreciation for those wonderful women in your life.
DIY Gifts for Women
An excellent gift doesn’t have to come in a pretty package. It could be something that you make with your own hands. That’s why we’ve compiled this list of DIY gifts ideas for women that you’ll definitely want to consider making if you want to give a thoughtful gift this year.
1. DIY Gift Ideas for Your Mom and Other Family Members
It’s a great time to show your loved ones how much you care about them. One way to do this is by making DIY gifts instead of buying them a store-bought gift. DIY gifts are a fun way to express your creativity and have a more personal connection with the gift. If your budget is limited, there are many ways you can express your love for someone other than money. The easiest way to give something homemade is to use items you have on hand. But, your nearest PNA store is around the corner should you need something specific or unique too…
There are lots of ways to express your love:
If her favourite movie and TV shows have a fan base of women, make your gift a movie-themed journal with cool and useful spreads such as space to write down movies en TV shows to binge-watch, as well as a star rating option to keep things interested. If you need some inspiration, see this video and let the creative part start!
Family members love receiving handmade gifts that kids can make. This DIY clay jewellery dish keepsake craft makes a unique homemade gift idea for this special occasion. Learn how to make it using this easy to follow tutorial!
Create something amazing out of all of those old books lying around. Follow our tutorial and upcycle your books into brand new gift bags for somebody special. You will need old book pages, a needle, thread, an ink pad and stamps. Yip, that’s all!
2. DIY Gift Ideas for Friends
Gifts can be hard to buy for friends, especially if you’re on a tight budget. To make it easier, try making something yourself. One of our favourite things to make is bath bombs. Bath bombs are a fun gift to give because they’re useful, and they make the experience of taking a bath even more luxurious.
If you’re a fan of art and want to get your friends into the art world too, why not give them a beautifully designed painting? Paired with a carefully chosen vinyl record, these gifts might just spark imagination and get your friends to help you design something beautiful in future. No one’s requirements are the same, but some of our favourites to get friends are original artwork. Our social media is full of ideas like scrape painting, modelling paste flowers, or Mod Podge projects.
3. DIY Gift Ideas for Wives and Girlfriends
You’re going to have to buy presents for your wife or your girlfriend every now and again. In that sea of shopping, you might not always know what to buy or how to buy them something that they’ll like. But you can help women feel heard and relevant in the world through small bits of conversation and thoughtful gifts. Make her something to list everything she wants – not quite a shopping list as per sé, but perhaps something similar.
If you feel foreign giving small gifts, consider this list of possibilities and just remember to pick the gifts that connect with your wife or girlfriend:
4. DIY Gift Ideas for Teachers
If you have a teacher or professor you want to thank, you can make them something special. Here are a couple of DIY gifts that you can make yourself.
- A photo book of their favourite students or students who have learned the most.
- A plant with a handmade card.
- A coffee or tea gift card.
- An original emblem made just for them.
Whatever gift you choose, we’re sure that it will make the women in your life smile, and they will definitely be inspired to progress a bit more into who they truly are. Happy Women’s Day, PNA ladies!
