Autumn is a big birthday season in both Michael’s and my families. We often have a tough time figuring out gifts for family members who are scattered around the globe (my brother is in Sydney, my sister-in-law is in Zimbabwe, and the other brothers and sister are scattered throughout America or Ireland). So I’m often looking for small gifts that will mail or be carried on a plane easily.
When these polaroid-sized paintings showed up on Poppytalk last week, I instantly thought of them for an upcoming birthday. They’re a very manageable size for popping in the mail, but they’re also really affordable original art. I love prints, but there’s something really precious about being able to say it’s one of a kind, especially for a birthday!
What’s your go-to for birthday presents?

The only real creative talent I have is baking, so birthdays for friends usually makes some some type of baked goodie from me. I’m actually preparing two packages to go out tomorrow — assuming I don’t eat all the cookies I’m making first.
Ooh, I love that trick too! Do you mail your baked goods? I’m always nervous to!
