Easy Homemade Christmas Gift Ideas

Do you need an inexpensive yet unique Christmas gift?

One of my favorite things about gift giving during Christmas time is creating diy gifts. For me, handcrafting a gift is a great expression of love and care. 

Some of these crafts are simple enough that the kids can help out too!

More great homemade Christmas gift ideas are to pick a theme. For example natural beauty products. You cold include homemade soap, bath bombs, essential oils, homemade bath salts, and natural candle.

Simply package them up in cute gift baskets with a bow or ribbon and some cute homemade ornaments for extra cuteness.

For an eco-friendly option use scraps of leftover fabric to line the inside. Or make your own homemade cloth gift bags!

Another diy Christmas gift idea is for the foodie! Fill a basket full of favorite treats like culinary salts & seasonings. Or cookies, hot chocolate, flavored nuts or candies.

And for the coffee lover – a mug filled with favorite coffee blends and flavors. You could even include a gift card to their favorite local coffee shop. Because we need to support our local small businesses!
