Prizes and gifts that excite a birthday party

caricature stickers

Caricature stamp stickers introduction [Nigauri!]

If illustration is your specialty, how about drawing a portrait of the birthday star, turning it into a digital file, and making it into stickers as a gift? It has a different kind of fun from photo booths, so it’s sure to catch attention and liven up the party.

The recipient will likely be delighted, too, since they can enjoy using the stickers in various ways.

How about senjafuda stickers printed with the birthday person’s name? You could use a vending-machine-style printing service found at game centers, but if you design them yourself to perfectly match the recipient’s character and include a congratulatory message, they’ll be even more delighted.

Try using illustration software on your computer and have a go at making them by hand.

Name-engraved lipstick

Gifting a one-of-a-kind cosmetic is quite romantic, isn’t it?

If you’re good at drawing, there’s no problem.

With advances in digital technology, even if you’re not skilled at drawing, you can use a computer to create decent illustrations.

So, how about drawing a portrait of the birthday person, turning that image into an eraser stamp, and giving it as a gift? If you’re not comfortable with carving, you could use a 3D printing service to make something stamp-like out of rubber.

It takes effort, so it’s sure to come across as a sincere present.

If the birthday VIP loves cats or dogs, making paw-print marshmallows as a gift will really liven things up.

Marshmallows are surprisingly easy to make.

Just be careful not to overcook the gelatin, and pipe it onto a bed of cornstarch.

For the pink paw pads, tint some gelatin with food coloring and place it carefully on top.

Commemorative Movie

Celebratory Video for Longevity

For a home birthday party for Grandma or Grandpa, how about a commemorative video celebrating longevity? A slideshow made from still photos—such as childhood pictures, scenes from their workplace days, or moments enjoying trips—would be lovely.

Be sure to include congratulatory messages from close friends and family, too.
