Tie Dye Gift Ideas

Tie dye can make the cutest gift! Each piece is one of a kind so you never have to worry about getting the same gift. This also gives it a very personal feel + touch. It is also amazing because it is an awesome DIY gift to try. There are tons of tutorials you can use to help you make some of the gift ideas we will share below. Most of them can also be found in our shop if you don't feel like making a tie dye mess/if your project doesn't come out as planned (which totally happens to me all the time lol).

Baby + Children Gifts

Baby Onesie + Matching Blanket
This is a super cute matching gift set that can be done in any color, or even a variety of colors. These can be found on amazon, just make sure that they are 100% cotton for the best dye results. You can also add a hat and pants for the full gift set. I recommend the brand Rabbit Skins by L.A.T. for these gifts. They are super soft and baby safe. 

Another great baby gift that you can hand dye are baby swaddles. These are easy to purchase on Amazon. The best size is 47" x 47" in a cotton muslim material. If you can find organic cotton they are extra soft and breathable. You can hand dye them in a variety of patterns or pic up one of the patterns through our shop and customize it with your own color selection!

Gifts for Her

Need a gift for your BFF, little sis or significant other? Tie dye can be the perfect thing. Even if they are not the typical tie dye wearer, a softer design and color can still be the perfect gift for  them! We have a variety of styles that can make the perfect gift for any personality. It can be a fun and heartfelt gift if you make it yourself. All you need is a cotton tee or tank in their size and you're ready to go!

Other than tees + tanks there are tons of other cute ideas you can make. Socks are great if you want a little something extra for your gift. They are easy to dye and you can make a bunch to add on to gifts in the future. You can get a pack of Hanes socks at the grocery store and the adult size usually works for most feet!

Gifts for Him

Tees + long sleeve are the perfect tie dye gift for the guy in your life. We have tons of different unisex styles to choose from or that you can use as an example. Blue and black always work well together. You can add some pink and purple to create a spacey design. 

Acid washes are also an awesome pic for guys. It has a nice dark color palate and is super easy to make. We have a post about how to acid wash items. If you can find a black cotton tee with their fav brand or band on it, this can be a perfect shirt to acid wash and gift. 

Intimate Girlfriend Gifts

Tie dye undies are the perfect gift for your girlfriend. As of now, we are only offering them in women's sizing, but we cannot wait to offer mens undies as well! You can either acid wash or dye the underwear, just make sure they are 100% cotton! Spiral designs work really well on the boy short undies that I use. Crumple patterns also work really well and is your best bet with super small items!  

Let us know if you make any tie dye gifts this year! We would love to see what you make! Feel free to leave a comment or connect with us in IG to share your thoughts/creations or ask any questions!
