absurdly peculiar

I just recently found out about DIY gift exchanges and thought about how cool that would be. But then I would need to make friends with people who actually enjoy doing DIY projects because I believe my friends and family in LA  would be too lazy to agree to this idea.  So instead of exchanging gifts I thought about giving DIY gifts. DIY gifts are amazing because 1) The giver saves money 2) A lot of thought and time is put into what the giftee shall receive 3) Very few people in the world will have a present exactly like it. So here are some ideas for people who haven't bought their gifts for friends yet and would maybe like to save some money. They could also make great stocking stuffers. You have 2 days left, which is plenty of time to buy materials and make one of these babies below! 1. Box Braid Necklace - Honestly WTF 2. Braided Hex Nut Bracelet - Honestly WTF 3 & 5. Polymer Jewelry Pieces - Absurdly Peculiar 4. Braided Woven Cur...

Michael Buble - Christmas I was recently on Refinery 29 reading a post about Gift Ideas. One of the comments was something along the lines of 'I don't know what world I would be living in where I would have $350 to spend on one friend.' I laughed because I am pretty much in the same boat and so I decided to create a list of gift ideas that were a little more budget friendly! I also thought it was time for a collage... I mean I haven't collaged for what, 2 posts? 1. Confetti Scarf , $8.90 - Such a great deal and something you can wear with almost anything. I think you can't go wrong with a scarf as a gift! 2. Les Petits Macarons , $18 - For the person who likes to bake/cook, cook books are a great gift idea...or books in general! I know that I have attempted to make macarons at least 3 times, and only once did them come out resembling macarons...and they still didn't look as good as the ones on this front cover.  3. Tocca Perfume , $48 - I love the smell of...
