[ planning and attempt at execution ]

Before the first week of August I realized I forgot to prepare and plan a gift for my friend’s birthday but luckily I went straight ahead to planning and trying my best, also asking my mom to order stuff. I made a gc with her sibling A & our close friend G so I could try to include them in my idea of making a gift that we had had a part in.

My idea was to make a gift box and decorate the outside of it. I also wanted to include a letter from me, g, and A - although that’s not happening now but it was apart of my original plan.

Since I’m a minor and don’t have my own income / money ofc I asked my mom to order a few things -

which included :

A PTV shirt ( Collide with the sky her fav album by them ) - didn’t get though due to it being $50? and it coming in too late anyway

Cat Fuggler ( she loves cats ) - it still hasn’t shipped :(

Apple hair clips - I asked her sibling for approval due to her hair since I know nothing about dreads to which they said they would work and shouldn’t be a problem, and yes they did come in.

Plusheen Notebook - self explanatory.

Nyan Cat Keychain - she has accessories on her bag + likes Nyan cat

Piano Tights - I saw she had funky/twee tights on her Pinterest board and I know she like’s piano 

Thrifted American Outfiters Blue & White Striped long sleeve - I thought she might like

Although her birthday was last week she has something (birthday ‘party’? / hangout) planned this weekend so I’ll be giving her gift to her this Saturday I suppose.

Anyway I just wanted to share my ideas & thoughts on it I guess for more encouragement and so I won’t feel as embarrassed or overwhelmed for the small details I’ve tried to obtain and put into this gift. Thank you for reading this long post heh

Without further words here’s what I’ve done ↓

sorry I lied (just skip)

I used pictures from her Pinterest board so I don’t have to worry about if she doesn’t like it, as for the bottom/inside lid of the box I weezered her cat Dipper and added a side of Byler & lesbyler ( cleradin var ) - also the big box on the top left and the circle on the top right G did so don’t ask me about that.
