Another last minute gift

What do you give a 10 year old with a serious detective obsession?

How about a personalized detective notepad?

And some disguises (cut out of wool felt)?

We considered adding a trench coat and some crazy dark sunglasses, but we're trying to keep this strictly in the detective territory without letting it veer off into a scary flasher-esque costume.

  1. How do you come up with all of this? I'm kind of in love with the notepads, so I'm going to have to buy all the supplies now.

    I've tagged you at my blog, in case you somehow run out of fun DIY projects to post about. =)

    How about a magnifying glass too!
    Yellow crime scene tape would be fun too.
