Five Star Gift Ideas

For your friend who is into upcycling and DIY crafts, I have a few unique and meaningful gift ideas that would be perfect for their wedding.

1. Customized Upcycled Frame: You can find a vintage or old picture frame and customize it according to your friend's style. Sand it down, repaint it, or add some embellishments to create a personalized and one-of-a-kind frame. They can use it to display their favorite wedding photo or any other special memories from their big day.

2. Upcycled Wine Bottle Vase: Turn old wine bottles into beautiful vases by painting them with chalkboard paint or wrapping them with twine or rope. Your friend can then use these vases to decorate their home or as centerpieces during their wedding reception. Add a personal touch by including a set of flowers or succulents for them to start their own little indoor garden.

3. DIY Scrapbook Kit: Put together a DIY scrapbooking kit with various upcycled materials, such as vintage pages, postcards, fabric scraps, and buttons. Include adhesive, scissors, and a blank notebook so that they can create their own custom wedding scrapbook. This gift allows them to preserve their wedding memories in a creative and unique way.

4. Handmade Upcycled Jewelry: If your friend enjoys wearing unique and eco-friendly accessories, consider gifting them a piece of handmade upcycled jewelry. Look for artisans who specialize in creating jewelry from recycled materials like metals, glass, or even paper. Each piece will have its own story and be a great conversation starter.

5. DIY Upcycled Wall Art: Create a personalized piece of upcycled wall art for your friend's new home. Collect old magazines, posters, or maps and cut out letters or shapes to spell out their names or initials. Arrange them on a canvas or wooden board and use decoupage glue to secure them. This gift will reflect their love for upcycling and also add a unique touch to their new space.

6. Upcycled Planters and Garden Accessories: If your friend has a green thumb, consider gifting them upcycled planters or garden accessories. Look for old tea tins, mason jars, or old drawers that can be repurposed as planters. They can fill them with their favorite plants and herbs, bringing a touch of greenery to their home. You can also include DIY garden markers made from painted rocks or upcycled materials.

Remember, the most important thing is to tailor your gift to your friend's personal taste and interests. By choosing a gift that aligns with their love for upcycling and DIY crafts, you will not only show your thoughtfulness but also encourage and support their hobbies.

Or you can get her/him a star map with the date of the wedding.
