Want to save money and give a super meaningful gift this holiday season? Check out these 25 homemade gift ideas! With ideas for both kids and adults to make, there’s something for every crafting skill level!
Even though I’m not the craftiest person myself, I’ve always loved receiving handmade gifts. A few years ago, my aunt Donna made everyone these gorgeous knit scarves. I loved it then, but now that she’s gone, it’s even more meaningful. I treasure everything I have from her, but that scarf was made with her own two hands, and I like to believe that she was thinking about me as she knitted it. I believe that when we make something for someone else, whether it’s an edible gift like cookies or something they can keep forever, we’re putting a little piece of our own spirit into it. It’s really a magical thing! Here are some great ideas to get you started! This list has something for everyone (even your pets)!
