10 Simple, Cheap RAK Ideas

Hey guys! Today I am just sharing a quick list of simple, cheap RAK ideas that you can probably make with items from your home or for $1-2 (for a lot of them), depending on where and how you buy your materials. I am not going to describe how to go about creating them since they are pretty self-explanatory and very open-ended. That is for you to decide. These are just some ideas for inspiration, but there are plenty of examples of them on the internet. I also suggest adding a Bible verse to uplift people and share the love of Christ. Some people will write to pass on the kindness and challenge recipients to do an act of kindness in return. I prefer to avoid that since that might stress the recipient out and make them feel like they need to pay for the gift. If they are inspired, they will probably do that on their own anyway. Another item I suggest avoiding unless you know the recipient well is food such as candy since so many people are on such a vast variety of diets. As for the balloon dogs, I will share a tutorial and free printable for that in the (hopefully near) future. I hope you enjoy!

RAK Ideas:

 -Balloon Dogs or Helium Balloons

-Magnets

-Stickers

-Snail Mail

-Painted Rocks

-Kindness Letters

-Flowers

-Practical Pun Gifts (for example: "You are stupendous!" with pens.)

-Banners/Cards/Confetti (there is a free printable sunshine banner here.)

-Bubbles/Chalk/Glow-sticks (or other items that will probably cheer someone up.)

I hope you enjoyed these ideas! I hope you visit again next week for a new post I look forward to sharing with you!

DIY Easy Nutella Gift

Hey guys! Today I have a super quick and easy gift tutorial for any chocolate-and-peanut-butter lovers you know. If you are scrambling for some last minute ideas, this hopefully will come in handy! This could go for any type of butter, too. Almond, cashew, plain peanut butter, apple butter, and so on. This could even be just an addition to a gift basket or some other gift (as it was in my case).

All you need is:

-A Spoon (I chose metal because I planned to metal-stamp it but that didn't work out, but any kind would work)

-A Jar of Butter/Nutella

-Paper (for the label, preferably cardstock)

-A Ribbon or Alternative String

-Scissors

-A Pen/Marker

-Tape/Glue (almost any adhesive would do)

I don't even need to break this into steps as the gift is very self-explanatory. All you need to do is create the label by cutting out a circle, write "There's no 'butter' _______(fill in the blank) in the world!" or "than you!" followed by "Happy ____(fill in the blank occasion)!" You could tape or glue this onto the lid. Tie the spoon onto the ribbon or string and tie that into a bow around the mouth of the jar. That's all there is to it! 

I hope this comes in handy! Thank you for visiting!
