The Problem with Modern Gifts 🎁
Customizable handmade gifts are trending right now. After all, in a world where you can increasingly buy anything and everything you want with a single click on Amazon, it can be harder than ever to find a truly unique gift that your friend couldn't have ordered for themselves if they really wanted it.
How do you find a gift that will hold any sentimental value in an age of planned obsolescence?
I'm not talking about a cheap, plastic-engraved knick-knack they'll guiltily toss out in a few weeks. I'm talking family heirlooms here.
A Personal Touch 🫶
Now imagine they drew or painted YOU a personal piece of artwork that you've both cherished for years. Or maybe they just have a sketch in their home that you know they're proud of. Imagine that I turned their artwork into glass!
That's exactly what I did this Valentine's Day as a surprise for my husband. He painted this for me while we were doing arts and crafts together when we first started dating back in 2015.
I thought it was so cute at the time, especially the way he signed his name onto it for me to remember who gave it to me. I've held onto it for years, and on February 14th, 2024 I gifted him my glass version - recreated with MY signature now that we share a last name. Complete with cartoon birds painted into the backdrop:
Sustainable Memories 💚
When that sad day comes that his drawing has started to shrivel up beyond repair, the glass recreation and token of ongoing love will keep shining for years to come.
The best part? It's completely recyclable! From the glass to the solder, broken pieces can be repaired, colors can even be replaced down the road.
