As the holidays come around the corner, it can be a hassle being on a budget yet wanting to gift with meaning so here are some top ten holiday homemade gifts that consider the recipient’s interests to help you create a gift that they will truly enjoy.
- Homemade Jewelry: Necklaces, bracelets, or earrings, made out of beads, pendants, wire, or string can be a great way to personalize a gift with their favorite colors.
- Crocheted Items: Designing the fit and color of blankets, hats, mittens, and scarves can be a great way to weave a personalized piece.
- Sock Monkeys: With a sock, stuffing of your choice, beads, and string combined can create a cuddly friend for a younger giftee.
- Video Message: A free yet meaningful gift with some kind words from loved ones in a replayable video can make anyone’s day. The addition of background music, captions, and effects can be the perfect cherry on top.
- Handmade Cards: The classic card made of folded paper with handmade designs and letters shows the appreciation you have for the receiver. If you want to up your game you can throw in a few bucks or follow through a 3D pop-up tutorial on Youtube.
- DIY Candles: With your giftee’s favorite color and scent they will be satisfied with just a whiff.
- Forever Flowers: To represent your forever love, forever flowers are the perfect gift to do so. With ribbon, hot glue, sticks, and wrapping paper, a ribbon bouquet can be made. As another alternative, paper bouquets can be made with colored paper, scissors, and glue.
- Baked Goods: A delicious treat you think your giftee should try or already loves packaged in a tin or box is the perfect way to put a smile on their face and bellies. It’s also important to consider any of the giftee’s food modifications or allergies to show you care.
- Photo Album: For someone who goes out on an adventure, a photo album filled with memories, captions, and stickers can make a special gift.
- DIY Picture Frame: Finally customizing a picture frame with a picture, decorations, colors, and wood, can make a lovely gift to display.
