100 DIY Christmas Gift Ideas for Everyone on Your List
Over 100 brilliant DIY Christmas gift ideas related to homemade toys, home decor, fashion, beauty, food, and crafts.
One of my absolute FAVORITE memories as a kid was making DIY Christmas gifts with my mom and little brother whenever my dad was working out of town.
We sat around the kitchen table and crafted Christmas ornaments for friends one year. The next year, we baked zucchini bread for neighbors. And then somehow it became a tradition to spend a few hours with my mom making gifts for loved ones every holiday season.
Looking back, I realize now as an adult, it was a way for our family to save money. But what it gave me was a lifetime of memories spending time around the kitchen table making special things for special people as our holiday gifting.
That’s more precious than ANYTHING money can buy. Plus, it’s just a good feeling to receive something homemade that someone put their loving heart and valuable time into.
So I thought it would be fun to put together a huge resource list of homemade Christmas gift ideas you can make yourself, if the budget is a bit tight for Christmas this year or if you just feel like getting creative!
Before Making Any DIY Christmas Gifts
Before you start your homemade gift project, check your craft stash or kitchen supplies to see what you might already have that you can use up.
Do you have lots of scrap wood? Maybe you can make cutting boards or serving trays as hostess gifts.
Got some ribbon and miniature picture frames? Maybe some DIY Christmas ornaments would be a sweet present for neighbors.
Does your pantry have a couple of extra bags of sugar? Whip up a batch of cookies or homemade sugar scrub as decadent treats for friends.
Ask yourself what YOU are good at. What gifts can you make that are already in your skill set or expertise?
Whatever materials and talents you might already possess, use them to your advantage and tailor them to the specific people in your life to make the perfect gift that fits their personalities.
