Giving Christmas gifts is the best way to spread around the holiday cheer. Giving gifts is usually a creative job, as no two people like the same thing. People love to feel appreciated, so one of the most efficient ways to go about that is to make the present with your own hands. This will say “‘I’ve really given this present a thought.” But making a gift yourself isn’t that easy, as you’ll need ideas and would want to get creative with the gift itself. So here are a few ideas that will help you make the perfect present.
Teacup Candles
Both creative and lovely, you can use any teacup that strikes your fancy, especially if it’s one that you don’t use, but you think it looks good. You can make your own candle that you then place inside, and top it off with a matching saucer. For the biggest effect, you might want to glue a teacup to the saucer to give the impression of one big candle holder instead of a two-parter.
Family Sign
An excellent gift that serves as a family crest and will give an official air about the house. Pretty simple to make, as usually the family’s initial is used, and is either printed or crafted from various materials and then placed in a frame. You can add the year the family was established, or maybe the year they bought their own house. This is definitely a gift they’ll be happy to hang and proud to show off to other guests.
Gift Baskets
If you prefer to give more than one gift, while presenting everything as one present, then Christmas hampers are the way to do so. Pick from one of the many kits, and then you can place inside everything you think your friend or loved one might need. It’s great because after they’ve used the gifts inside the hamper, they can use the hamper itself as a storage space. It’s a lovely gift inside a practical one, a gift that your friends both want and need.
Scrabble Ornament
Turn the pieces from this popular game into a customised message of your own choosing. Take any of the letters from the game, and affix them together using whatever materials you think are the most suited, and send your friends a unique message. It can be anything from the popular choices: Peace, Love, Snow, or anything else that your imagination comes up with.
Custom Necklaces
Okay, this one might come off as cheating, because you can practically use anything and turn it into a necklace. Take any item that strikes your fancy, repaint it, and maybe perforate it to drive a chain or wire through it. This way, you’ve got yourself a necklace. It’s one of the ultimate types of DIY gifts where your creativity is the only limit.
Don’t fret when it comes to making your own gifts, because there are a plethora of choices out there. It is also a great way to budget your life expenses and there are many easy and simple to make options. Regardless, it’s important to remember that it’s the thought that matters the most.
That counts.
