This is one of my insomnia inspirations (I think it's pretty cool, but forgive me if it has been mentioned elsewhere. I did a little search, but there were no specific threads out there...here goes!). I was thinking that this would make a good gift and a date.
You could make two origami sets (twins, so that you each have one to work with). Since I am so keen on Christmas things right now, I thought that I could find out the standard size of origami paper and cut holiday wrapping paper into origami-sized paper (say...about 15-20 sheets per package). Then, I would find directions for a simple origami design that would be fun (cranes, frogs, hearts, etc.) and print that out on nice paper (2 copies again). I would also include a mini sewing kit with a needle and a metallic-coloured thread (e.g. silver would be nice if the paper has blues and greens). Lastly, I would write a little note to insert in the kit, which describes that we can use our Christmas origami kits on an e-date together. We will do all the folding and then can use the needle and string to thread them together into one, long ornament that can be strung horizontally or vertically (or you could put a loop in each item to hang). I would likely package the kit flat, with clear-ish wrapping and a nice ribbon.
