here's my favorite gift idea. Have you seen the marble magnets? These are super easy, cheap, fast, and everybody raves about them!

Supplies needed:
Flat clear marbles (not the shimmery ones)
magazines, catalogs, scrapbooking paper, etc...
scissors
Clear silicone sealant/glue (can be found in housewares dept.)
Small round magnets (multi packs are cheaper. I get mine with a 40% Micheals coupon)

Now, lay out your little flat marbles and start going through magazines, pictures, etc, putting the marbles over the pictures to see how they look. Small flowers, words, etc. work well. Just trace around the marble, cut out and glue to the back of the marble. Let dry and then add the little magnet. It only takes a tiny bit of this glue, it dries clear...I use a toothpick to smear it around. You can do a set of theme magnets for an indiviual personality or interest. Eight of these fit into an Altoids tin. Everyone I have given these to has loved them! Also good to add to theme baskets, or for magnet boards in a teens' room. Great kids craft!
