An emoji gift is a hot trend right now and it is perfect timing for those hard to buy for teenagers and tweens. These DIY emoji gifts will bring smiles to all ages as they see their favorite emoji come off of the screen and into their life. You’ll also find some great emoji party ideas to keep the theme going and stay on a budget.
My most used emoji is the heart eyes and I just love all of the creative ways these bloggers turn it into an emoji gift. I especially love the emoji marquee, the heart eyes sleeping mask, and the emoji pillows. I think you’ll find something handmade that you’ll love too. Disclaimer: I do not like the poop emoji, but I do love some teenage boys who overuse the poop emoji. {sigh}
