Anthropologie has so many cool gifts that could also easily be D-I-Y, if you are so inclined (which generally I am NOT).

First, these Celebration Jars could be tailored to almost any recipient or occasion and are cutely packaged in a mason jar. Love those felt crowns! Kids could also even make these as a D-I-Y favor at a birthday party.

This would take a bit more work (instructions here), but Surprise Balls are also a lot of fun, especially if the trinkets inside were extra sparkly. Before and after shots shown below.

This is a set of small gifts, one for each day of the recipient’s birthday week. Fun!

How about this sweet little mouse? She could be made in a re-purposed Altoids tin.

More ideas for a re-purposed tin are here.

Happy crafting! Send me some completed projects, please. 😉
