Do you get inspired to do something nice for someone but then never get around to doing it? You may not have time to send a card or make a gift. You’ve got too much on your to-do list to fit one more thing in. You don’t want to have to make several stops at different stores to get all the supplies.
I totally understand. This happens to me all the time. I’ll often get inspired to do something small to brighten someone’s day.
- I should send her a card
- That person needs a little encouragement
- I love how she is unique–she brings such a special perspective to our friendship
Then days or weeks will go by and that good intention never happened.
Good intentions are great but they have to be carried out to actually make a difference!
When you get inspired to encourage someone, just jump in and do it! Today I’m going to share a 5 Minute Gift Set so you can easily carry out those good intentions (and still keep your sanity). It will only take 5 minutes and it will be sure to brighten up someone’s day!
I also made some beautiful free printable artwork you can use in your gift set. All you need is a couple of supplies and 5 minutes & you’ll have a complete gift set perfect to give to someone special!
The links for these printables are at the bottom of this post
Whether you want to tell someone they’re beautiful, encourage them that their uniqueness is valuable or just simply say “you are loved” this is the perfect 5 minute project for you!
5 Minute Gift Set Supplies:
- 1 Diet Coke “It’s Mine” bottle
- Fresh flowers of your choice (choose flowers with small stems)
- Printable (links to the free printables are at the bottom of this post)
- 5×7 frame of your choice
Directions:
- Choose a Diet Coke “It’s Mine” bottle with a design you think that special person would be drawn to. There are millions of designs to choose from, so you’ll be sure to find one that’s perfect! I found some super cute bottles at my local Kroger store in a special wooden rack display.
- Next, choose some fresh flowers with thin stems that coordinate with the unique bottle design. I was able to buy these cute bottles and beautiful fresh flowers all in one spot at Kroger. Making just one stop saved me so much time!
- Enjoy drinking the Diet Coke and then rinse out the bottle when you’re done.
- Choose the flowers you’d like to use for the bouquet and lay them down next to the bottle.
- Cut off the extra stem length at the bottom so the flowers fit in the bottle in an attractive way.
- Remove extra leaves towards the bottom of the stems (like in the picture below) so they will fit into the bottle.
- If your flowers came with a package of flower food, mix up the food according to the directions. Carefully pour the mixture into the bottle, being careful not to pour too much in.
- Next, place the flowers in the bottle.
- Lastly, print off your favorite printable (from the links below) and frame it.

This easy gift set idea was shared at: Weekend Wind Down
super cute idea. Anytime we can love on someone is good. this s especially great for those whose love language is gifts.
One of the biggest ways my daughter feels loved is receiving gifts–so that’s the reason I chose to give them to her. It was really fun giving her something that made her feel special and loved (and was super easy for me!)
This is so sweet and just in time for all the beautiful spring blooms. I don’t drink soda but now I’m tempted to go out and buy a bottle! 😉
Here’s an idea–you could use the Diet Coke in a recipe like this easy BBQ pork. You can have a pretty bouquet AND dinner–all from one bottle!
I’m already getting excited about switching out the flowers with fresh ones from the yard this week. Fresh flowers are the best!
This is really really great <3 Greetings from Vienna
So fun to get greetings from Vienna! I’m glad you enjoyed it!
Such a nice idea – I haven’t seen the fancy Coke bottles yet. I guess I’ll just have to sacrifice and drink a Coke! With Spring peeking in a out here, the bright flowers will be very inspiring.
If you’re not much of a soda drinker, you could make the gift set and use the soda in a recipe like this BBQ pork. It’s super easy to make and you’ll kill two birds with one stone…or bottle 😉
What a beautiful little pick me up gift… such a lovely idea. If everyone did this on a regular basis the world would be a much kinder place 🙂

I totally agree! Everyone needs to know that they are special and loved–this is one easy way to make sure that encouragement happens!
I LOVE THESE! I have so many people I should be encouraging and this is a great inspiration! Thank you!
I hope this makes encouraging all those people a little easier (and more fun!)
So so cute!!! And the intention vs. carrying it out couldn’t be more true!!! I love doing things like this for the people around me, but it is often put on the back burner until the “time is right.” Something like this is perfect for “RIGHT NOW” 😉 Thank you for sharing!! Beautiful!
YES! I’m so bad at waiting until the timing is perfect when it really would have been better just to do it when the inspiration originally hit. Glad to see I’m not the only one with that problem! Now we can both try to just jump in!
Love these! They are adorable and such a great idea! Thank you for sharing with us!
Thank you Lisa! The flower arrangement and printables were so fun to make (and super easy too!) I’m so happy to hear you like them!
This is a great idea. I’d never heard of these diet coke bottles.
Thanks Astrid! These new limited edition Diet Coke bottles are pretty fun!
What a fun gift and a great way to encourage others. Very bright, cheery, and encouraging!
Bright and cheery was definitely the look I was going for! Thanks Jed!
This is such a great idea! I love how encouraging someone doesn’t have to be complicated, and when you make it complicated then it just doesn’t happen. Those beautiful flowers and bottles and print would make any woman smile, I think!
Yes you’re right Nicole–it really doesn’t have to be complicated to encourage someone!
What an adorable idea! I haven’t seen these coke bottles – that’s the perfect vase! Also, your printables? Darling! I want them on my bookshelf now! Gorgeous and simple!
Yay I’m so glad you like the project and the printables! The Diet Coke Uniquely Mine bottles really do make the perfect vase. Thanks so much for stopping by!
I love those bottles and keep seeing everyone sharing them. I also love the printables you shared!
The bottles are so cool, aren’t they? I have so much fun making printables–they may be my new addiction 😉
Who wouldn’t want to be your friend? What a sweet, thoughtful heart you reveal in this article. You also motivate me to do the same – Thank YOU! God Bless You!!
You are so sweet Susie! I’ve been really blessed to have lots of good friends that have done sweet things for me so I love to be able to do that for them too! I hope you have fun making your gift set!
So cool love this!
Thank you Shaleena! I was really happy with the way it turned out–bright and cheery!
this is really cute! great way to encourage somone in this glumey weater we’ve been having.
I hear you Mihaela! We’ve had a couple dreary dark days in a row. This quick project is a great way to bring some sunshine when someone needs it!
I LOVE cut flowers and when my garden is in full bloom always makingarrangements. I also am always looking for thoughtful gifts. The fact that this is quick and easy is a double bonus. Great way to show someone you care!
Fresh cut flowers from your own garden are the best! Life these days is crazy busy for me so I’m all about quick and easy projects 🙂 So glad to hear you liked this!
