If you got time, and don't wanna spend buttloads of dough on gifts, etching is the way to go. Piece by peiece is usually good, if you only have a couple bucks but if you want to go crazy, buy bulk glass cases at Hobby Lobby. That's what I do. Either way, the glass is pretty cheap. The paste is a different story but if you buy a large jar, it will last you a long ass time!Whether you do one piece or fifty, it never gets boring. The only tedious aspect is having to make the stencils when you are too excited to see the finished product. It's a perfect project if you have A.D.D., though. There's lots of stuff to do so fidgeting looks normal when you are etching your little heart away. (I put one hour per project but that depends if you make your own stencils or not. If you don't it should be 15 minutes.)
