Gift ideas!

[ultimateairn.livejournal.com]

Because I love each and everyone of you creative people!

1. For Christmas I'm bought my big sister (who is 23) a gift certificate for 4 gymnastics classes. Our parents couldn't afford to send her when we were kids (and she always talks about how she wishes she'd been able to take them), so I'm sending her now! :) I picked up the gift certificated today and it is A. HOT. MESS. It's on regular printer paper and is covered with a bunch of poorly placed clip art from Windows 98'. I CAN'T present it to her like this. So, other than making her a much nicer gift certificate, what's a clever way to tell her what her gift is? I was thinking of buying her a little plastic model of a leaping person (IDK) and saying, "Soon you'll be that flexible!" LOL. I know. That's awful. Any ideas?

2. I know a couple that's expecting a baby! I'm really excited because these are the first co-workers I've had since I've been in the "real job" world who are expecting! The baby isn't due til next August/September, but I want to make them something for Christmas. My first thought was picture frames, then I thought that seemed too...aged? They're a young couple (27 & 28). I can't knit (although my soon to be gymnast sister is a whiz at all things yarn) and can barely sew, but I'm crazy with a glue gun/beads/fabrics/wax/coloring in the lines! :D Thoughts on what I could make them? I ALSO BAKE!
