On a budget? Looking for a gift that didn’t come on the shelves in your local Target? Do you just want your gift to sing filled with love? Then check out this list of DIY Holiday Gifts to make and give this year.
Personally, I think you can’t start holiday prep too early. Even while sweating through September, I’m thinking about ways I can get ahead this year. I start throwing gift cards into my grocery cart so I’m prepared with teacher gifts when December rolls around.
I love buying gifts, and I love giving things that will make people happy. But I definitely don’t love completely blowing our holiday budget on buying for every person in our life.
Why DIY?
Enter: DIY Gifts. Gifts that you can make yourself do take a little more time than ordering directly from Amazon. But the time, the energy, and the love that you put into making gifts will be recognized by those that you love.
