Happy Wednesday! We’re half way through the week and I’m on the road to Atlanta, Georgia. I’ll be attending the Haven Conference over the next several days, probably brushing shoulders with some of YOU! Yay. However, today I’m super excited to be collaborating with a HUGE groups of my bloggy friends to share 101+ Birthday Gift Ideas for under $5.00 — including my You’re a Lifesaver Printable.
My bloggy buddy, Kristen Duke, is hosting a Birthday Celebration Week and invited us to share inexpensive gift ideas with lots of free printables. She’s been sharing birthday goodies and giveaways all week long, so be sure to swing by and say hello.
Who doesn’t love a little sugar on their birthday? I have a large sweet tooth, so candy is always a win-win for me! Wouldn’t you agree that most of our friends are lifesavers?
So, this might just be thee perfect gift for a friend. A small, “sweet” gesture letting them know that “You’re a Lifesaver.”
You’re a Lifesaver Gift Idea
Supplies:
Printer
White Cardstock
Scissors or Paper Cutter
Lifesaver Rolls
Double Sided Tape
Pillow Box (or packaging of choice)
This gift is really as simple as printing off the You’re a Lifesaver printable in either the 4×6 or 3×3 and attaching to your packaging of choice. I used the 3×3 printable on a pillow box and wrapped the pillow box with ribbon.
Or you could simply use some double sided tape and attach roll of lifesavers to the 4×6 printable! So super easy, right? The possibilities are quite endless. I think these are perfect for co-workers who help you out in a pinch, the kiddos who do some extra chores or the neighbor who picks up the kids at the bus stop for you!
Now all that’s left for you to do is print or save the printables!
As for the other creative ideas, a lot of these gifts are versatile for any occasion, and can be a to gift to your friends, family, or even that gal that you’d like to get to know better. Even more fabulous–most gifts are under $5, and have coordinating printables to make it super simple!

What an amazing idea for a gift! The “You’re a Lifesaver” printable is not only creative, but also very affordable. I can imagine giving this gift to my co-workers or my neighbors, and I’m sure they would love it. The best part is that there are so many different ways to present the gift, from wrapping the candy in a pillow box to simply attaching the printable to the candy roll with double-sided tape. I can’t wait to try this out for myself!
Albany says
Kelly’s “You’re a Lifesaver” idea is such a brilliant yet simple gift solution! I actually used it last year for a co-worker’s farewell, and the sentiment was heartfelt and appreciated. Plus, it’s always a win when it doesn’t break the bank!
