It is often not easy to find a personal gift for someone. It doesn’t matter whether you need a birthday present or just want to say thank you with a gift: a gift with a heart is always well received!
Whether baked, boiled, handicrafts or mixed: We have collected recipes and instructions for you that are guaranteed to put a smile on the faces of the recipient.
A fragrant room perfume to fall asleep to
A pleasant room scent creates a feel-good atmosphere at home. With natural ingredients, you can create a room fragrance yourself and give it away. This is how you will be remembered when the home of the recipient smells wonderful and you give a useful gift that doesn’t just gather dust in a corner.
This special room perfume is intended for falling asleep and is therefore best used in the bedroom. Alcohol is a suitable carrier for fragrances. You can get pure alcohol in the pharmacy or use vodka because it doesn’t have a strong smell of its own and you can mix a few cocktails with the leftovers!
What is needed?
- 14 ml water
- 50 ml of vodka
- 25 drops of essential oils (a mix of lavender, lemon, and cinnamon)
- glass bottle
- 4 thin sticks made of natural fibers (e.g. rattan sticks)
That’s how it works:
Drop the essential oils into the bottle. Add alcohol and water, close the bottle with a cap or cork and shake well. A small decoration makes the bottle even more beautiful and can be chosen according to taste and liking. The self-made gift is ready.
The only thing left to do for the recipient is: to be happy, put the chopsticks in the bottle, place them in the desired place and fall asleep with a pleasant scent.
The way to a man’s heart goes through his stomach!

The book collects your most unforgettable moments and awakens a different shared memory with each page. The perfect gift for someone special!
What is needed?
- A book to stick on (notebooks or photo albums with sturdy pages work particularly well)
- adhesive
- Writing utensils (silver or gold pens are great eye-catchers)
- scissors
- Photo prints of you and the recipient
- ruler
- Decorative items such as sequins, wrapping paper, washi tape, or stamps
That’s how it works:
Once you have all the materials you need, you can start designing. The first page of your book can tell the recipient what to expect when leafing through it. There is also space for nice words or a great photo together. Patterned wrapping paper spices up the memory book and is ideal for creative use.
Our tip: With a little music everyone gets in the mood for drawing and handicrafts and lets their creative thoughts run free. Think about the memories that shaped the relationship between you two and perpetuate them.

DIY massage oil
You can easily make massage oil yourself from just a few ingredients. With these instructions, you can put together your own creation and give the gift of relaxation. This special blend is even said to help with sore muscles.
What is needed?
- 100 milliliters of jojoba oil
- 2 drops of grapefruit oil
- 2 drops of rosemary oil
- Possibly 2 drops of mountain pine oil (Warning, not suitable for children!)
- bottles for bottling
That’s how it works:
For the massage oil, simply mix all the ingredients together and fill it into a bottle – done!
Caution: Always use a small amount to test whether you are allergic to homemade oils. To do this, dab a small drop of the oil on your forearm and note whether the skin reddens.
Give away a piece of nature!
Plants, whether for the apartment, the balcony, or in the garden, last longer than a bouquet of flowers and bring joy to everyday life. There are no limits to the selection. Houseplants make great gifts because they are a sign of new life and brighten up the home at the same time. Whether Monstera, Calathea, or Ficus – we are all happy about a new plant. Plants are particularly suitable gifts for moving in or moving, as they make the new apartment a little friendlier. Bring some green into the lives of your friends, relatives, and acquaintances with these beautiful plant gifts.
Info: Did you know that the different varieties have a very special meaning? While the orchid stands for passion and red roses, as many already know, are a symbol of love, the aloe is a symbol of patience because although it grows very slowly, it only dries up in the rarest of cases and therefore stays with you for a long time.
We hope we were able to inspire you with these DIY ideas and other gift tips and help you in your search for a personal gift. Have fun trying it out, designing it, and giving it away as a gift!
