Personal Photo Albums

I need cute, creative, personal christmas gifts for my 3 best friends. Any ideas?

We've been best friends now for 4 years. We have a lot of memories, a lot of pictures, a lot of inside jokes. Last year I made them little personalized photo albums. I dont have a lot of money, but I can still spend some.

1. I like making t-shirts. All you need are cheap shirts from a craft store, fabric paint, paint brush, exacto knife, and contact paper. Basically, you start with your idea and create a stencil and go from there. I've made many shirts. They're a blast to make, fairly economical and oh so personal. More questions on stenciling?

2. Make them special Christmas ornaments. You can make whatever kind you like maybe something made with ceramics like a wreath with all your names on it. You could crochet over clear ornaments or do bead work. My vary favorite is an beaded ornament from a friend.
3. You can get candle and soap making kits at most craft stores for very cheap and for around $10-$15 each. One kit will make several candles. You can personalize these in a number of ways. If it a jar candle wrap a photo or printed phrase around the outside and secure it with a square of laminating paper (self sticking), which is about $5-10 for a pack of several sheets. A pillar candle can have the same things wrapped around and then be dipped in clear parafin wax to secure it. The picture will not catch fire. I use old cans to melt wax although most kits come with everything you need. This can easily get you 3-5 gifts for under $20 total and you'll learn a new skill.
4. A photo frame can be useful, and a thoughtful gift. Or look out for gifts like little bears with your friends names on them, or pens, key-rings.Think of a hobby or interest they have, and buy them something they will use.I had lovely books on card making off a friend that knows I enjoy making my own cards.
5. well if you have a lot of inside jokes- buy them something that has to do with the inside jokes. like if you have an inside joke about a cow- buy them a stuffed cow or something. hope it helps! merry christmas(:
