Stuff for walls

I've been at the age where all my friends are getting married and having kids for awhile now I guess. I never know what to get people really. My Gram without fail would always get people towels. "You can't ever have too many", she would say. I will go by their registers (if they have them) and try to get them something that most people wouldn't. Like the couple who had stuff for their cat on there. I thought it was funny... anyway getting off track. If they actually do register for it, I prefer to get them something artsy. And if I know them well though, I like to do something of that nature for them instead. No one seems to remember that they need art for their walls as well as stuff like toasters. I like to remedy this. This goes for having a baby as well as getting married. Babies grow out of cloths too fast and don't have a lot of need for much else. About 3 and half years ago I decided to do drawings for my cousin and my best friend as one just had a baby and one was due to have one. I have always liked Alphabet books so I made the drawings into pages from an imaginary one using the baby's name (i.e. H is for Hannah and S is for Sydney). They went over really well especially being one of a kind and tailored to what I knew about the parents. I have done about 6 more (mostly K's) since those two including one I finished today. Thought I would share.
