From painting a stone to a glass jar, everything in your home can easily be personalised with acrylic, glass and other colours. Pick up your brushes and personalise it with abstract designs if you don’t have the artistic flair.

It is also a good idea to add sparkles and notes into a jar or pen stand, which your father can use for daily office work, suggested craft designer Anju K.
