With Christmas being just over two weeks away, now is the time to head towards the finish line. And the good news is that you can still give some great gifts to the folks on your list without breaking the bank….make some of your gifts.
Pinterest would be a fantastic place to start researching, but here are some general ideas {along with a few specific ideas/tutorials} from someone who is absolutely, 100% not crafty. These are totally doable, I promise!
1. Food
I seriously don’t think you can ever go wrong with a consumable item. There are so many yummy recipes out there that would make adorable gifts. You usually don’t have to worry about your gift not being used- more than likely it will get eaten up over the holiday season with all the parties and entertaining.
2. Spa products
With the hustle and bustle of the holiday season, we could all benefit from pampering ourselves just a tad. And you don’t have to be female to enjoy some bath salts or body scrubs. Seriously, some men need hand scrubs and bath salts just as much as women. 🙂
3. Photo gifts
I love the idea of using photos for gifts. Relatives especially enjoy receiving gifts that include photos of their family members. There are so many creative ways to include photos on useful items, but sometimes they can get expensive when you make them on websites. You can oftentimes find great deals on photo calendars though, so check out Shutterfly, Snapfish, or any of the others you already frequent.
I love doing food gifts–especially for older or more 'settled' people who don't really seem to need anything, that's something that I know will actually be enjoyable for them and not just another knick-knack!
Or if they need anything, it's way out of my price range! I can't afford flat screen TVs! 🙂
