When purchasing solar caps from our Etsy shop, they come with instructions on how to put them together and use them. Fill the glass jar with colorful glass or marbles for an added creative touch!

Homemade Christmas Gifts to Eat

    There is also IPhone app for that (What to get my boyfriend), its very nice. It asks you questions about relationship and his character and in the end it gives you suggestions, of course you can set the budget and also his birthday reminder. There is a bunch of pretty cool (also DIY) ideas.
