Today I'm sharing my contribution towards my friend's little boy's birthday. The theme of the party is: "Monsters and Robots". As both my boys are all grown up I'm not that into any of these anymore.
I decided to get something small and EXCITING for the birthday boy, a gift card for his mom to spend on new summer gear for him AND to use what I have to make a pretty and exciting themed gift. Everything was packed into a recycled tin suitcase.
Afterwards this would make for a GREAT carry case for small toys or a lunch box for pre-school.
For my tag I used robot stickers from my stash (YES!!!! I still had some) and paint sample cards that I've kept from last year's home reno.
While everything was out, I decided to do a few more. You never know when the next little monster comes along!!
Don't you just love the robot dog on the bottom tag?? I will probably add it to my pressie as I like to "double tag" and the little monster that's receiving this gift is actually a big doggie fan.
The big benefit about using what you have, is that you have more money to spend on a usable and exciting gift. Packaging nowadays costs a fortune!! And nobody would even know that everything except the gift was free.
This week, I'm contribution my project to the
Robot or Monster challenge at DoubleClick Skittles
Great minds think alike!!
Thanks for looking at my blog today. I'll share my small and exciting boy's gift with you in my next post. Please check back and all will be revealed right here on Play as U Go. Until we meet again ......................... have FUN!
