One of my very best friends is leaving me for over a month to go on a holiday to Bali. To make sure she won't forget me while she's losing her heart to some handsome Balinese guy, I made these cute, little envelopes which contain a little surprise for every day to surprise her again and again.
This envelopes would make the person gift for loved ones. They are cheap, fun to make and even more fun to receive.
As my friend left for 30 days, and I couldn't come up with 30 ideas to fill the envelopes with, I only made 16 envelopes. To give an example, I made them for the days 1, 2, 5, 7, 8, 10, 13... etc.
Have fun making these wonderful gifts!
p.s. In some pictures you see Dutch scentences, I'm sorry for not doing it in English, but I really do use thise envelopes as a gift and it would be a little weird to reveive a present in the wrong language.
