40+ Amazing DIY Christmas Gift Ideas

|

DIY Christmas Gifts are not only more meaningful but more affordable too! Sure you could order all of your gifts online and get 2-day shipping to boot, but imagine your loved one’s face when she sees that you put the time and effort into a gift made just for her (or him)!

What is your most favorite gift ever? I bet it was well-thought-out, something that surprised you and might have even been handmade. Right?

Several years ago my mom made each of my sister-in-laws and me one of those cute growth charts out of a 2×6 board. She stained the board and marked off every inch of 6 feet so that we could measure our kids’ heights over the years. I love it because it’s something unique that I walk by every day and will treasure it forever. Super special!

So, do you have any handmade Christmas gifts you’d like to make for the people you have on your list? I recommend making any DIY gifts well before the hustle and bustle of December gets here. But if you’re still needing a gift, but want to add that personal touch, there’s never a better time than now!

I’ve categorized the gifts for people who love a few different things, like home decor, bath products, cooking and general gifts. Some of them would make great hostess or neighbor gifts, or fabulous stocking stuffers, too!!
