Since I'm now of age to start giving Christmas gifts to my family and as a student I don't have much money I googled and found a nice cheap and possibly cute gift:

 

What i used:

- 1 Glass bottle liquid (I went for coca cola (Christmas edition bottles (https://www.mycoca-cola.com)) because parents are not into giving alcohol as a gift).

- 1 cotton ball (Red).

- 1 pipe-cleaner (brown, 25cm long).

- 2 googly eyes.

- A few drops of glue.

part 1: Preparing the bottle:

Step 1 & 2: Disconnecting 1 side of the label:

Step 3 & 4: Pulling string and gluing it to the bottle:

Step 5 & 6: Putting the pipe-cleaner just under the cap and twist it:

It looks cool, but making seasonal presents is kinda silly to me.

Parents should have unconditional love, so yes they will like it.

Is that a lowkey burn?

Not at all. He seems to have some doubt as to whether his parents will like it, and I'm telling him they will. The unconditional love part is just a general statement.

It's silly, but very nice.

You parents will love it, because you made it for them.
