Hi Vidya.....

How about decorating a photo frame and presenting it along with a foto of the couple inserted within....??
or a decorated knick-knack/jewellery box packed with sweets....?
or a small clock---just paint warli pictures on a small ,square veneer frame and have the dial,movement fitted in.....??!
good Luck!!

Hi Vidya,

Have a look at my thread "Satin Ribbon garlands". These are quite easy to make and you can do so many in a single day.
Let me know if you are interested and I can always help you more.

Thank you sudha & pai,
I think I like pai's idea of the clock & jewel box. Let me see what I end up making...

Go to your Glass Frame person...get him to frame a thicker glass or sandwich 2 thin glasses...u can even add a material in between...Buy 2 handles...It becomes a different kind of tray...that u have made yourself and a very useful one too...
Have a nice time...I have always tried to do something different when it comes to personalized gifts...
Enjoy yourself...

Hello

Returning a Wedding Gift

Step 1
Keep the gift receipt if one is enclosed with the gift. Check the return policy on the receipt and follow the instructions.

Step 2
Keep the tag on the gift. Don't open the package if you are not keeping the gift.

Step 3
Go to the store where the gift was purchased. If you have the receipt, you should not have a problem returning the gift. If you don't have the receipt, you probably can exchange the gift for store credit.

Step 4
Contact a store manager if you are having problems returning a wedding gift. Even though most stores have return policies in place, managers will try to work with you on returning wedding gifts.

Step 5
Send a thank you note to the person who gave the gift, even though you have returned it. Don't mention that you have returned the gift.

Thanks
Have a nice time a head.

hi Vidya...
i have posted a Clock i made in the Paintings forum ...do check it out.....u can use this idea on a small, cane basket that you get for Rs.10-15 each.

Hi sumimusik,
your idea is interesting. will try that too.:bowdown Infact many of my paintings could fit into that idea too thank you. (instead of simply framing & making it a wall hanging alone)
Hi rillida,
I wasn't asking for ideas to "return" any particular gift. Sorry. I was asking for ideas to make gifts
Hi pai,
I saw your clock. Cool man. Have been planning to try that. In fact i bot the clock assembly also but didn't try it. I think I will do it now.
