Good Homemade Birthday Gifts

Homemade gifts can be designed and created by yourself or they can be bought from various boutiques, that sell them online or in stores. We recommend the first version of homemade gifts, because they will show your recipient you care about him/her more by doing this.

1. A great product for those that can take a good joke is the ‘Save Water Drink Wine’ tea towel. This product can be bought online for the price of 10 GBP, but if you have the right tools and imagination, you can create a similar one and why not, use a different message. You can make a tea towel and write ‘I love you’ or ‘Welcome’. You can save more than 5 GBP simply by making the product by yourself. The designer of this tea towel, which can be bought on notonthehighstreet.com, used only cotton to make this towel. It has 46 x 74 cm and presents also a hanging loop.

2. If you want to offer your recipient the chance of cutting different fruits and vegetables on different chopping boards, you can engrave them with the name of those fruits or vegetables for which the boards are suitable. As you can see in the above image, there is one chopping board destined to onions, other one for lemons, others for herbs, chilli and so on. The designer of this product knows very well that you should not mix the flavors of different ingredients, such as chilli and oranges, for example, this is why it recommends us an oak chopping board, different for every ingredient. Oak is recommended in this case, because it preserves better the flavor of those ingredients. Instead of engraving ‘onion’, ‘lemon’, ‘herbs’, you can engrave words like ‘I love you’ or ‘For my darling’.

3. Another product made from oak is this solid ‘Hot Stuff’ trivet (28 GBP). You can save a lot of money, simply by designing this product by yourself. You will need a piece of oak, which already has a round shape and something to carve those letters: ‘H’, ‘O’, ‘T’ and so on. After carving those letters, the trivet has to be oiled with natural oils. When you want to offer a product like this to someone, you can also wrap it in a lovely tissue paper, to add more elegance to this wooden item. This is a perfect gift for all occasions, especially for a birthday. The dimensions of the product you see above are 20 x 20 x 2.5 cm. When you create this product on your own, you can give it whatever dimensions you want.

You have to take into account that these handmade products are not similar one to another and they may have imperfections, which give uniqueness to the products. You should not treat an object that has a slightly different shape from the one presented on the site as a different object; they are both the same, are made from the same materials and by the same person, only that their shape differs a little bit. Once again, the handmade feature is what makes a product unique.

Birthday Gifts +uk

In the United Kingdom you get the chance to buy a birthday gift from many companies and sites, almost all of them having a good reputation. A site that we definitely recommend is notonthehighstreet.com. Don't look at the name of this site and at its extension (.com), because this is a site that operates in the United Kingdom. The meaning of this title is that here you can find products that are not found on the high street; which means these are handmade products from artisans, that are normally sold in tiny stores around the corner all over the UK. Notonthehighstreet.com is a place where artisans from all over the world meet their customers.

Here you can find not only birthday gifts, but also products for anniversaries, graduation, wedding, Valentine's Day, Thank You gifts, new baby, Christening and other occasions. In the Birthdays category, for example, we don't have the products arranged according to other categories in which they may be included, but according to the most important events: the 18^th birthday, 21^st birthday, 30^th, 40^th, 50^th, 60^th and 70^th. On other sites, that sell gifts, you normally see these products arranged something like this: home products, jewelry, watches, purses, fashion, experiences, books, electronics, magazines, kitchenware, furniture and so on. Others, on the other hand, allow you to select the potential gifts according to the personality of your recipient. Thus you can choose from athlete, geek, ecologist, religious, chocolate lover, music lover and others.

Because we speak about notonthehighstreet.com and not about other site, we have selected to present several products included in the 18^th birthday gifts category on this site.

Gifts For A 21st Birthday

A 21-year-old is attracted to fashion and always wants to look good, whether we are talking about a girl or a boy. A woman, for example can receive the products we will present in this article. All of them are included in the Bags, Purses and Wallets category and can be bought from notonthehighstreet.com.

Gifts For A 21st Birthday (Source: assets0.notonthehighstreet.com)

1. A 21-year-old girl most likely doesn't have a job or if she does, in most of the cases it is a part time job, thus she has plenty of time spending with her friends shopping or going to the beach. This is why we present first this personalized beach bag (10.20 GBP), designed by 3 Blonde Bears. This product shows a fine image of 2 beach huts, hand illustrated and screen printed in the United Kingdom. You have 3 nautical themes from which to choose: egg shell green, pillarbox red or beach hut blue.

This product is a leather tote bag (250 GBP), manufactured by Bodie and Fou. It is made from eco-tanned Italian leather, which has a 15 cm arm strap.

This product has 12 x 8 cm and is destined to the necessities of a young girl, such as lipstick, eyeshadow, brushes, mobile phone, pen, credit card, keys and other little things that can be inserted into a small purse.

5. You may think that a pregnant woman does not really wear pants. Well, Babes with Babies created the Perfect Palazzo Pants for the women that still want to wear pants, even though they are pregnant. Obviously, this product is suitable for a pregnant woman at the beginning of the road. A woman that already has 7-8 months of pregnancy should avoid wearing pants.

These pants are produced in these sizes: extra small, small, medium and large.

Gifts For Her Birthday

If you are invited to a birthday party of a female friend, you have to come up with a unique present. I'm pretty sure that the lady has received all sorts of candy boxes, flower bouquets and jewelry. I know that if you buy for example a platinum necklace, you cannot go wrong, but if you want to be different than the rest of the guests invited at that party, I recommend you to buy a scarf. Even though you may think that this is not a very expensive product and the lady that will receive it, will not be so thrilled about it, I have to tell you that there are plenty of expensive scarves out there, especially if they are handmade, like the ones that will be presented here.

Gifts For Her Birthday (Source: assets3.notonthehighstreet.com)

1. I will begin with a scarf that reminds you of the Middle East. In fact, this is more than a scarf, it is a shawl embellished with sequins (31.96 GBP). This product is created by Law and Company Decorative Living and has 60 x 175 cm. It is made in India (no wonder that it has this design) and can be worn over your shoulders or as a scarf for a relaxed look.

2. The next product is made from velvet and is the Eternity Scarf. Even though the name of this product doesn't invite you to buy it (when I think of eternity, I think of death), the image of the product is quite attractive. And the price too; this item created by Bags Not War is only 29.99 GBP. So don't take into account the name of the scarf and think only that what you buy is a lovely silk velvet scarf, that is glamorous and perfect for a winter outfit. It has 20 x 145 cm.

Gifts For Her Birthday (Source: assets2.notonthehighstreet.com)

4. Lilac Coast offers a Spotty Scarf for 12.80 GBP. This product is not made in Poland, even though it resembles very much to a polish scarf; Polish people are those that use dots in their national costumes. The scarf is made 100% from viscose and has 66 x 190 cm. A pretty gift wrap is available, especially if you want to send the product directly to the house of your recipient.

Gifts For Her On 30th Birthday

A woman in her 30s is definitely attracted to bath and beauty products. Let's face it, before 30, she was helped by her youth, but after 30, if you still want to look good, you have to pay a lot of attention to the products that allow you to maintain your beauty and health. So for today, I have selected the Beauty Accessories category and I will present several products that I will buy for my friends that are 30.

Gifts For Her On 30th Birthday (Source: assets2.notonthehighstreet.com)

1. I will begin with this personalized initial mirror, that can be offered to a 25-year-old girl or 18-year-old girl as well. The age doesn't matter in this case. We recommend this product to a dynamic woman, that has to travel from place to place and wants to look good. Instead of searching for mirrors placed in bathrooms, hallways or other locations, where you have to share the mirror with other people, you can use this little item, created by Snapdragon and sold for only 6.50 GBP. This is an elegant compact mirror that comes in its own personalized pouch. This product is created in Scotland from recycled fabrics and velvet.

2. And now, a product that is a little bit more expensive. But I believe that a person that likes yoga and practices it, will spend 140 GBP on a holistic silk yoga rug mat with lavender. But here we are talking about gifts, so you can try to spread the word among your friends and who knows, maybe you will receive this product created by Holistic Silk from them, as a birthday gift. This product is great for meditation, Pilates rituals and home asanas. You can use this rug mat in your house, at the beach and even in the park.
