Father´s day is just around the corner, and I am looking for some cute
gifts... I already started to prepare all the little gifts that we´ll
be giving daddy this year!I like to offer gifts that are really
personal, and if I can make it, craft it or bake it, even better!
So basically this is what I am thinking about offering: Coupon booklets,
cupcakes and chocolaty treats and a
Photobook from Snapfish!
1.
Coupon Booklets
I have been searching for some inexpensive ideas for this years gift. I found that some of the most
popular ideas are coupons booklets, and as I was searching for a cute
one, and couldn´t really find one that I really liked... I decided that I
should actually create one! So, I made several coupons pre-filled and a
set to be filled later ... as a bonus I made a small envelope to put
the coupons on. I will be sharing these with you today:
Here are the coupons to be filled later ....:
I never knew of precious some me time, or having a peaceful breakfast could be after having kids... I am sure that daddy will appreciate this! I know I would...
I left some unfilled, so daddy could reclaim something later on...
And finally the envelope to keep them:
These coupons are matching the photobook and the cupcake toppers below!
2.
Cupcake toppers for chocolaty treats!
If you wish to, you can use these too....!As daddy
reallyyyyyy loves his chocolate, so I always try to bake something
chocolaty... This time around I will be baking soft-centred chocolate cupcakes!
I will show you later once I bake, how these turned out... If they look anything to show off...!
I
also thought about serving strawberries with some chocolate topping.... I
might do both, as daddy deserves all the chocolate treats I can think
off....

Our special gift, a Photobook!
And as for the special gift for this year....
....will be a
photobook that I made in
Snapfish...!
I
wanted daddy to have a personal gift, and since we haven't been
printing any photos that we have been capturing, I thought that this
would be the perfect gift, a
Photobook with all the little adventures of daddy and our little one from this past year!
I
also ordered two more photobooks to later offer both granddads. It's father's day, and granddads are
twice time fathers! They need something extra special too!
I had lots
of fun creating all photobooks,
Snapfish website is user friendly and is
fairly quick upload the photos... But most fun I had
selecting themes and using all the embellishments available ...!
They
have a large variety of photobooks available, you can select from
different book sizes and book cover types. After you created your account at
Snapfish, creating a
photobook is simple. You have a main menu with the different stages of your photobook creation:
- First you start to upload photos to a "photo
album". This photo album will be stored on your account, and you can
always use the photos from this photo album on other projects.
- Secondly you then select the photobook you want to create: For
daddy, I created a 8''x8'' photobook with a custom cover. For granddads I
selected a smaller size, 7''x5'' with a paper cover.
- Then, you have to select a theme, I selected my favourite theme for
Daddy "Tiny boy". The pages will be different through the book...
- Now my favourite step, personalize, which does take a while if you
like to personalize your book intensively, and explore all the
embellishments available! This is the part where you place the photos
and the embellishments available, which are a lot...!
- Fifth and final step, review the book as it will be before ordering!
If you prefer not to have any work, you can select a feature where
Snapfish creates the photobook automatically, but then it wont have
"your stamp" on. I never select this option... I really enjoy playing
with all themes and embellishments and my photos.
If you are thinking about making a
photobook with Snapfish for father´s Day, your order has to placed until the 15th June.
I had a little glitch with my larger photobook though, as one page was not printed properly. However, I contacted
Snapfish costumer service and I am waiting for a reprint! I used the online chat costumer service and they were quite helpful, and immediately resubmited my order without any extra costs.
I already wrapped the granddads photobook. I am on a recycling/upcycling
phase, so I used some regular brown paper that I had around and added a
cute bow!
For daddy I made a special gift envelope, using the same model I made for the coupons, but at a larger scale:
I used a blue card paper... I draw the lines to cut and to fold, using the photobook as a model. Then punched some holes to add the little bow... And here´s the final result:
And a little example of my cupcake toppers too:
Sorry about the low quality of my pics... I always end up taking some pictures at night...
Now, do picture the strawberry with a chocolate cover!
I will later post some pictures of all finished gifts! I just hope daddy likes his little gifts!
What about your? Are you getting ready for father´s day?
