Today is a fun day today! I am part of a huge group of amazing bloggers who joined forces with Kristen Duke in her Birthday Celebration Week!  Over 100 of my talented blogger friends are sharing lots of inexpensive birthday gift ideas and free printables, including my Manicure in a Jar + Free Printable Birthday Tag!
Birthdays are so much fun and I LOVE celebrating and we really don’t celebrate with fun gifts as much as we get older! Here is a super inexpensive one that you will be proud to give to girlfriends to celebrate their special day!
Supplies Needed:
- Mason Jar
- Nail Polish
- Cotton Balls
- Nail Kits & Tools
- Ribbon
- FREE Printable Birthday Tag
I picked everything up at my local dollar store! Including the mason jar! The ribbon & cotton balls I already had at home but they have ribbon and cotton balls too! :) Pick any small assortment of nail goodies to fill your jar!
I unwrapped them and placed them inside the jar. I filled the void space at the top with the cotton balls so nothing would hit against the glass jar.
Then I added some ribbon around the jar lid and then printed off the birthday tag and attached with some twine.
This couldn’t be easier and it’s a thoughtful gift that is inexpensive so you can give one to all your special girls!! How nice would it be to receive a cute package like this on your birthday??
As for the other creative ideas, a lot of these gifts are versatile for any occasion, and can be a to gift to your friends, family, or even that gal that you’d like to get to know better. Even more fabulous–most gifts are under $5, and have coordinating printables to make it super simple!
