Homemade gifts from the heart
A flower, a photo album, a mix CD—sometimes it’s the homemade gift that means the most. Relatively easy-to-do, inexpensive gifts you can make for your friends and family.



A band shirt
You can turn that old rag you never wear into an awesome shirt that will get compliments from friends and concert-goers alike. For the artistically inclined, you can take ribbon and sew it on in the shape of the band's name or stitch on the band's logo creatively. For the artistically uninclined, you can buy iron-on patches of the band's name or letters so you can write the name creatively. You can also take a Sharpie and write lyrics from the band's songs. As a Weezer fan, I embroidered a W on the sleeves of my concert shirt.
