“You’re the Silver Lining” Friendship Nail Polish Gift {& 101+ Friend Birthday Gift Ideas!!}

Remember when your birthday was the most exciting day of the year? Or at least it ranked a close second to Christmas?

And then as we get older birthdays start to be less and less exciting. Less important. They fall by the wayside once kid’s birthdays start to take center stage.

I suppose it is a given that we don’t always love to acknowledge that we are getting older…passing our twenties, thirties, forties and beyond. But I think we need to reclaim our birthdays. Be proud of ourselves as we age and gain knowledge, wisdom and understanding about the world.

And celebrate one another.

So that’s what this whole blog hop is about. Celebrating our friends as we age with beautiful and simple acknowledgements of one another’s birthdays. I’m excited to share today 101+ Birthday Gift Ideas for your Friends, including my Friendship Nail Polish Gift + Printable.

You're My Silver Lining Friendship Nailpolish Gift by The Happy Housie labeled

I’m sharing this Friendship Nailpolish Gift because it is a quick, easy, and thrifty idea that encourages your friends to take a moment for themselves. Adding some fresh nailpolish to my finger or toe nails always makes me feel so much prettier and more put together- and that gives everyone a little more confidence! I also love giving consumable gifts too- things that my friends will USE up over time and get enjoyment out of their use.

To make this you need:

-silver nail polish (I got mine at Dollarama for $3)
– printable gift tags Friends Like You Are the Silver Lining to my Cloudy Days
–  silver paint pen or sharpie (optional)
– hole punch
– scissors
– bakers twine or ribbon

I outlined my printables with a silver paint pen so that the lining to the cloud really has a ‘silvery’ edge to it.

Then I simply punched a little hole in my cut out printable cloud tag and tied it to my nail polish using some pretty bakers twine.
