I’m excited to share today 101+ Birthday Gift Ideas for your Friends. I am joining forces with Kristen Duke in her Birthday Celebration Week along with over 100 talented bloggers sharing lots of inexpensive ideas and free printables! All week long, Kristen is sharing birthday tips and giveaways so be sure to check out her Party.
Today i’m showing something that I have been keeping secret..cause it was too good to share! but I’m finally unzipping my lips and telling you about my go-to gift..EARRINGS!
Many moons ago I saw some cute earrings…and spent $25 on three pairs! I have since stalked some fun etsy shops and found a much CHEAPER way to get them!!! You can get 12 pairs for $5!!!!!
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!

Before you start scrolling down to see all the fun gift ideas (i love cheap fun easy gifts!) let’s talk earrings! I STOCK UP. I buy tons when i do an order (and i just made another order in case you guys all buy them and there is none left!) and I always run out! I have given these as bunco gifts, birthday gifts, teacher gifts, thank you gifts….I even threw some in my snap roomies packages…
this is the adorable shelly from dolen diaries sporting a pair i gave her!!! (puffy heart her)
They come unfinished…and look pretty just like this!
but they are super easy to paint. you can either spray paint them or use tole paint! I like to slightly distress mine (i just wait for them to dry and then scrap off some paint). And I get so many compliments on them! I love that I can customize them to whatever i’m wearing (i have painted some about 5 minutes before i left the house cause I didn’t have any to match my outfit!)
i wear them all.the.time
AND—cause presentation is half the battle……I found this fun earring holder in the silhouette online store (the only thing I have bought from it!)
I cut them out using fun double sided scrapbook paper…
and using silhouette chipboard and decorated with vinyl….
or washi, ribbons, twine, or stamps….
I buy a bunch…paint them. cut out earring holders and make them all pretty and these earring just sit in a basket until I need a quick gift!!! I love having them on hand!!!
I even added a few free tags to throw on…
(just right click and save to your computer!)
okay…here’s the links ladies!
i buy earrings from HERE
and HERE (but they are from china and takes awhile to ship!) they also have fun WOODEN ones I have too!
and this shop has a great variety!
and make sure to remember to buy your earring hooks!!!
