When I was younger, I would make gifts for my parents and grandparents for Christmas…a macaroni frame, a glitter pine cone ornament, drawings, paintings, ceramic hand prints, etc. I was a kid and giving those types of gifts were acceptable at the time. I still like to make homemade gifts but I would like them to be a little more sophisticated. Thanks to Pinterest, sharing homemade gift giving ideas has become easier and far more creative. Here are a few of my favorite DIY gift idea finds.
1. Backgammon Board–The Complete Guide to Imperfect Homemaking
Do you have a gamer in your circle? This cute tray transformed into a backgammon board is a great idea.
2. Peppermint Candy Cane Sugar Scrub–The Idea Room
The holiday’s can be stressful. Help de-stress someone’s day by giving them a homemade scrub.
3. Homemade Popcorn Gift Set–Real Food. Real Deals.
Jazz up anyone’s popcorn with this cute homemade gift set.
4. Homemade Vanilla Extract–The Italian Dish
I know that I go through a lot of vanilla extract over the holidays. I love this idea of giving homemade extract.
5. Frozen Cookie Dough–Mel’s Kitchen Cafe
This is a great idea. Instead of baking cookies, give frozen cookie dough. That way they can bake it when a sweet tooth is coming on.
6. Wineglass Candleholder–All You
This adorable candle holder would be a nice addition to any holiday table.
7. Picture Frame Tray–A Thoughtful Place
This is a simple project that can be done with materials that you might already have on hand.
