For your Dad: Monogramed Glass!
 Don't let the girliness scare you away.  What if you did this prject with his favorite sports team logo?!!!!  (For my dad it would be OU!) If your dad loves the lonhorns you could print him a longhorn logo. (hmm...maybe I should print one upside down on my dads!)

.I know this looks hard but you can buy cheap clear glasses at target.  (Look for the Re-Style glasses)  Buy etching cream at michaels or Hobby Lobby, and print out a stencil.  Then follow the instructions here!

There are cute cotten/canvis bags at Target, walmart, TJMaxx ext.. There are also canvas bags at craft stores for cheal.   You could take a pic with your family and iron it on.  She will love to carry things while thinking of you AND maybe she will come visit more!  Click here for instructions.

For Your Mom:  Body Scrub

Your mom can feel like a day at the spa...created by you!  There are only 4 ingredients needed.  The only one I didn't know was "carrier oil"  Of course I googled it.  You can get it at bath stores or online at amazon.com.  I also don't think you have to use a plastic pipette.  You can just use a medicine dropper (the kind you put ear drops in.  Here are the instructions.

For your Brother:  Sports Collage



Get a picture frame and get some pics of his favorite sports teams, news paper articles ect...  Get some Modge Podge and make a collage.  Frame it in the frame.  You could even do HIS sports pictures.
