My Friend's Bday is Friday I am going to do a "gift a day" for her birthday week. I want to make her something special (not a large quilt) for her Thursday gift. Any easy ideas that would mean something special?

Thanks for the help

Does she like chocolate, or a candle with a nice mat to set a jar candle on? A night at the movies with her best friend (you). Don't know what you want to spend, a pedicure? Or do you want to make her something? What do you have planned so far?

Maybe a fun bag for grocery shopping, or a pretty table runner, or a nice chenille scarf for this winter. Just some ideas, but they can all be made fairly quickly. (I think)

Your friend is lucky to have you as a friend. All good suggestions here.

"Mini Vacation"

Wrap up a nice candle, a tea bag or nice loose-leaf tea, and some chocolate with this poem . . .

"This mini vacation is just for you
For when you are stressed
or for when you are blue.
A candle-lit bath, a nice cup of ea,
And the swee touch of chocolate
for you, from me!"

You could get a wonderfully soft wool or fleece fabric to make a shawl and give it to her as a "comfort shawl" or "prayer shawl" to let her know she is in your thoughts and prayers.

Get her out . . . treat her to lunch, dinner or a movie.

You're a good friend!

A separate note every day of the week telling her something that you think is special about her?

Monday - I love the way you laugh and cheer me up
Tuesday - I admire the way you take care of your family

etc etc

Quilted cell phone holder, placemats or a candle mat, or maybe some homemade cookies?

actually, it's very funny that you ask!
I just copied your avatar pic, before reading, to make a small, maybe 16" square, for a friend. I have been looking for months, for something that would go with her living room decor. She has one of those magazine living rooms...a little country/feminine shabby chic. This is perfect, bc she has some stars hanging from a coat rack. This can go on the back of a nearby chair, she kind of suggested it. thanks!
Maybe it would be good for your friend? :D

That is funny in a another way. She loved the wallhanging that I made (the picture of which is my avatar) so I made her one in her colors for Christmas last year.

By the way, the pattern is on the McCalls website http://www.mccallsquilting.com/patte....html?idx=8875
