As sweet as a Honey

"Sweetheart", "Baby", "Love"& "Mahal" are the usual endearments that boyfriends and girlfriends call each other to represent their relationship. Some even use names of foods like "Honey", "Sugarpie" and even "Muffin". Last month, I saw a fastfood inspired gift created by a girl for her special guy. Being amazed and inspired by her creativity, I tried making a simple food-inspired (preferably sweet) gift for my guy.


So here it is:



Tada!! A honey jar inspired gift made of small mason jar with around 30 pieces of  puns/sweet things and funny jokes inside. I bought the small mason jar at divisoria (around PHP30-40 each) and its size is just about 3 inches tall & 2 inches diameter waaaaay last year and found no use of it until I made this.  It is twice smaller than a regular mason jar in the supermarket and I find this really cute.

I added a label made from white folder cutout (all of it is handwritten 'cuz I don't have my printer with me then). Also added a back label that says "Nutrition Facts" for a more realistic "Honey Jar". This one is a printable label from NellieBellie:


With a Yellow Felt paper, I created a honeycomb inspired Hexagons with some puns/jokes inside. These are inspired by puns and jokes I randomly saw online.


Examples include:
  • TEA ka ba? Tinamaan nakasi ako eh.
  • ayoko na nang MATH. Kasi, Math gusto kita.
  • alam ko na bakitmo ako sini-SEEN. Kasi may pagtingin ka sa akin.
I even added personal stuffs that is related to his field/course:
  • Akala ko Bangko lang may INTEREST. Pati pala ikaw! Love interest.


The Inspiration:
Honeycombs

For the design, I added a ribbon and a cutout of a bee. Enclosed it in a small box to add the sense of surprise to the reciever.

Molecular necklaces PH

Geeky much? These necklaces are best for those science geeks out there. This one is best as a gift for that smart kiddo on class or to your most special clessmate (or lover).
There are four designs, all made from Zinc Alloy material:

Here are Actual Pics:

Serotonin
Joy & Happiness
Acetylcholine
Learning, Dream & Memory
Dopamine
Love & Passion

Caffeine
Coffee lovers
Acetylcholine Big
Learning Dream ,Memory

Ecstasy
I'm Addicted to you

Pawprints2014 offers these ON-hand necklaces here in PH.

Please note that because of differences in pH levels of different skin types, the necklaces may tarnish more quickly in some clients. Proper storage is recommended to prevent discoloration due to exposure to air, too much sunlight and water exposure.

Other sites also offer them like Lazada (PHP330) and I love science store (PHP650 or USD12.99) But those two sites ships from out of the country and takes 2 weeks before arriving here in PH.

100 REASONS WHY...


You already bought a message capsule kit huh? But you are struggling what to write on them? well, let me give you an idea:

-Reasons why I love you

The classic. Let your capsules remind you the reasons why you fell in love with him/her or why you still love him/her. Like telling that you fell in love with his smile, the dimple, the abs, the hair, the way he greets you every morning and says goodnight before going to sleep, the simple gestures, everything. It would make him smile and be more motivated to do more effort for your relationship to work out and keep strong.
Here I found one good site to get your ideas fro the sweet messages you may tell your loved one.


-"I Love You"s in different languages
"Te amo", "Wo ai ni", "Mahal kita", "Je t’aime" -  words that you actually don't know but all means the same. Express your love in different languages as you express your love in different ways :) 
Here Ive found a site to help you with more words. Please click here.


- Pick-up lines

"Pustiso ka ba? Kasi.. I can't smile without you". Korni no? Ang cheesy ba masyado? Pero aminin, nakakapagpakilig yan no matter how korni it is. In a way, mapapangiti mo sya at it could change his/her day. I can't find a site with good lists of banats/cheesy pick-up lines on the internet but there are random good ones you could find. My suggestion is to try to look from Google images to get easy access. But you may try to check Boy Banat's site for some ideas. (You just have to patiently choose for good ones here)


-Remember when...

How about reminding him/her your memories together? Your first date, first kiss, the funny moments you've shared together,etc. I asked one friend and when she made the gift, she included even the stuff's they fought about and when they read them together, they just laughed those stuffs off because it made them realize how childish those petty fights are. Try to make him laugh and cry at the same time and bring back the "kilig" as when you had those memories together.


-Thank you for...

Make him/her feel appreciated for everything he/she did for you. Tell your loved one how thankful you are for the sacrifices that he made & the simple efforts he does.

1000 inspirational quotes

Making gifts doesn't need to be costly. Here is a simple gift you could give your friend to inspire him/her everyday.

PROJECT: 1000 inspirational quotes

OCCASION: Birthday, Friendship Day, Christmas, New Year, Thank you gift

GIFT FOR: Friend/ Bestfriend

TIME TO PREPARE:  12-24 hours. Depends on how fast you could write and consider the fact that you also need to rest because writing and cutting is a bit exhausting. I recommend dividing the project and setting an hour or two each day for a week to finish the entire gift.


WHAT YOU NEED: 
  • BondPaper/colored papers 30-50pcs
  • Scissors
  • Pen (plain black or colored)
  • Internet connection (to search for quotes)
  • Your phone/gadget
  • Box with ribbon - I bought mine at Papemelroti for Php49
  • (Optional) A piece of lined paper like yellow pad
TOTAL COST: around Php80-100

INSTRUCTIONS: 
  1. Prepare the things you need. As well as your hands because writing quotes is really tiring. You have the option to print them but I think the main essence of this letter is on the effort of writing everything down as if you are telling them directly these inspirational messages.
  2. Using your phone, tablet or computer, search the internet for inspirational quotes, sayings or verses. You could visit sites and view quotes filtered per theme (e.g. love, Friends, God, Education) or search from google images.
  3. Write down whatever quote you like on the bond paper. You may place a piece of lined paper below your bondpaper to serve as a guide for proper spacing between quotes or to make sure your handwriting remains straight. Here is a pdf file of the first 300 quotes I wrote. WARNING: this step requires lots of time, patience and energy. Rest if you must. TIP: keep track of your progress by writing on a scratch paper the tally of the number of quotes you've written.
  4. Cut each quote and roll them. TIP: I find it easier to write everything first and start cutting once you feel tired of writing down the quotes and then start rolling when you feel tired again of cutting each piece. (Nakakaumay sya gawin, promise). I find it easier to do things in bulk rather than doing those 3 steps (write-cut-roll) after finishing each quote.
  5. Count everything and put them on your box. Add ribbon.
  6. You may put designs and a simple letter for the recepient of your gift.

SUMMARY: 
Bondpaper/colored paper (30-50 leaves) - Php30 - available at bookstores
Box with ribbon - Php 49 - available at papemelroti shops. Visit their website for the list of branches and for more cart ideas.
