Doodle causes laughing so hard they cry

Your 1-minute-a-week shortcut to
always having awesome gift ideas well in advance.

Hi gift-givers! This newsletter provides you gift inspiration so mind-expanding that you’re going to need to find a storage unit to for all that extra gift idea creativity.

Estimated read time: 2 minutes & 23 seconds

The “illustrated quote" Gift:

• “Laughing so hard they cry”…enough said

• Great gift for bonding because it’s unique to your relationship with them

• Similar to this 🎁Dad Quote Gift, this honors the recipient…but the illustration takes the creativity to the next level

Don’t worry about coming up with multiple quotes to fill a photo book…illustrating even one quote is still an awesome gift!

You can custom illustrate a quote that doesn’t have to be original to your gift-recipient (think favorite TV/movie quotes ~ or ~ things grandma always used to say to both of you)

Ways to get quotes animated:

• Be your own artist

• Patronize a local artist…or an aspiring artist (like Rebecca did)

• Hire a professional on Fiverr for as little as $10

• DALL·E 2 is a free AI system that can create realistic images and art from a description in natural language (I use it, it’s easy)

🚨Warning! Whenever gifting artwork or home decor, consider your recipient’s style preferences and the space needed for them to display your gift. Consider smaller size dimensions like 5x7”.

Consider printing animation on objects other than paper:

1. Keychain

2. Plant Pot

3. Bookmark

4. Coffee Mug

5. Fridge Magnet

6. Desk Calendar

7. Drink coasters

8. Tote/Canvas Bag

9. Notebook/Journal

10. Kitchen hand towel

Or create a digital version for them to use as a computer background/screensaver!

• Write down the names of 5 people in your life and any quotes that you associate with them (quotes original to them or not). ____
