For those who have sent of gifts to celebrities before for either holidays or birthdays what have you've given them? I've heard of like cards, scrapbooks, bookmarks. I can't make a scrapbook... very bad at them. I'm artistically challenged lol and I don't have many artistic supplies. Used all the construction paper for school projects. I was thinking of doing a small timeline book for Abigail but I don't know... Maybe I should just stick to making a b-day card. Even those I'm not too good at. Any ideas?

Hello Skye!
My opinion is that you should "know" the celebrity - know their interests, know their style, etc.

Then you can perhaps send them something they can actually use or keep. For example, I just made actor Charlie Cox a nice bracelet, as he's a very modern, cool guy!

For example, you can make Abigail a bookmark? {thumb2} She's young and I'm sure she likes reading. :razz: These are only some examples, you can send her any gift you think she'll like!

I love reading interviews with my favourite actors and sometimes I just get this idea to make them a gift. So far, Charlie is the only celebrity I've send a gift to. I normally only send a nice letter!
Good luck to you, Skye!

Hope this helps!
Regards,
Lizanne

Nice idea... though it's still going to be hard since I'm artistically challenged and liked I said before I don't have many artist supplies like beads or anything...

Why don't you create a bookmark on the computer then?

Use pics from the internet and type it in "Microsoft Word" or something? And when you print it, just cut it out!

I think it will still look nice! {thumb2}
Good luck,
Lizanne

I sent Dakota Fanning a scarf because she likes to knit.
I made it myself when last year so i was 12, and it was her birthday. It was the first thing i ever knitted.
I cant believe i sent that, it was so bad so many holes, and mistakes and it started off small and then got like huge. Oh dear. Haahha

Haha Sami. I'm still she still loved it. I hate knitting or anything like that so I can't do that. Lizanne I might do your idea. It'll probably look nicer on computer anyways. I'll do my cards on here too.

Good luck, Skye!! {thumb2} I personally like bookmarks, I have quite a lot!

I also think it will look really nice if you print it, you can print it on a thinker type of paper if you have any?

I'm sure Abigail will love it!
Regards,
Lizanne

Thanks. I was planning to laminate them... I'll have to figure out how to work it first though. THanks for the idea.
Has anyone else ever sent any little gifts before?

Yeah I mostly send Birthday cards.

Sometimes I make these "Original Artwork" cards and send those along. I've made some for: Ray Park, Brandon Routh, Frank Oz, Nina Fallon, David Bowers and several other celebrity's

Even if your not good at "artistic things" the celeb appreciates anyway
