Expenses can make you wish the holiday period was over already- your loved ones’ gifts shouldn’t add to that burden. There is a plethora of amazing DIY gifts you can give your friends and family members. The good thing is that you can make these gifts with different items at home without having to buy much. Here are five DIY Christmas gifts to give your loved ones.
Mini photo calendar
Gifts that hold memories are always appreciated, regardless of how inexpensive they may be. This mini photo calendar is a gift that will make the receiver smile and vow never to lose it.
You could get an affordable calendar with free templates and attach their preferred photos to each page. Or you could check for calendar templates online, print them out, and glue their photos to them.
Homemade sugar scrub
One thing about homemade gifts is that they make us appreciate the effort put into making them. This sugar scrub is both easy to make and very affordable.
You could make this scrub with a cup of white sugar, half a cup of turmeric powder, and a pinch of salt. Instead of the regular bath salts that most people give for Christmas, you could gift your loved ones this scrub.
No-sew beanie
It wouldn’t be wrong to call knitted items a part of Christmas tradition, would it? However, this beanie is a modification of the regular knitted items like scarves and sweaters that you always get from your mom.
All you need for this no-sew beanie are scissors, glue, and an old (but cute) sweater. Simply cut out a part of the sweater and make it into a beautiful beanie with fabric glue. Who wouldn’t love a creatively patterned beanie?
Elf Mason Jars
It’s Christmas time, so gifts with Christmas symbols are more than welcome. Interestingly, many Christmas-themed items would transform a regular gift into a mind-blowing gesture; this DIY elf mason jar is one of them.
To make this creative elf mason jar, fill a mason jar with green candy and tie a cute tag to it with twine. You could spice things up by adding a red felt collar, incorporating the Christmas vibe.
Whipped Body Butter
We all love pampering our bodies, but the cost of skin care products is why many keep pulling out. However, with this easy DIY body butter, you can spoil your friend without breaking the bank.
Using ingredients like lavender essential oil, lavender butter, orchid extract, arrowroot powder, and droppe to make the body butter, you can easily impress your friends on this year’s Christmas. Aside from the beautiful scent, this body butter nourishes the skin- they’ll always remember you for it.
