25 Amazing DIY Christmas Gifts

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)!

Hey friends!! It’s time to start making any DIY gifts for the people you have on your list! I recommend making any DIY gifts well before the hustle and bustle of December gets here. If you’re able to plan ahead, do that, because December is just so crazy.

I’ve categorized the gifts for people who love a few different things, like bath products, cooking and general gifts.

If you are looking for more gift ideas, you can find my list of favorite gift guides here. I will be adding more gift guides over the next few weeks, so be sure to bookmark that page and come check back often!

And if you’re struggling with the idea of even getting into the holiday spirit, but also overwhelmed at alllll the stuff you have to do, check out my Holiday Planner {click here} just for taking the stress out of the holidays and giving you more time to savor it all!

Let’s make stuff!! I’m so excited!
