I believe best presents come in small packages and when the package and the present are handmade, the value of the gift rises even more. Sometimes when I want to prepare not a very personal gift I choose something like Giant Paper Flowers. I gave one of those to my friend last week and she was speechless.

Now when the school year is coming to the end, I've encourage my son to make a bunch paper flowers for his favourite teacher. We've found Storybook Paper Roses which were posted on a family blog 100 Layer Cake. Instead of destroying a book we opted for old newspapers to make the petals. I'm sure the teacher will appreciate the my son's effort.
