With christmas coming up have you given any thought to personalizing your gifts by making them at home?

I am considering making gifts for some of the people on my christmas list this year....

Any suggestions for homemade gifts that I could make?? (With instructions too please)

I think a little of both is good, I guess it depends on what you make of course, I used to make different crafts but i guess i wasn't that sure of myself to just give my own makings as a present so i used to just put it with something else...

I usually do that as well buy something smaller to go with the handmade gift.

Thanks for your input

I'm not very crafty but I love to bake. I've watched Food Network specials on food gifts like pasta dinner baskets and such. I did a few baskets like that last year they were a big hit. Along with cookies and home made candies - truffles, bark, molded candies. THats about it for my handmade skills. I can't even make a bow:)

Hi teetee,

Would like to share with you some good ideas of handmake gifts..
Make a peppermint candle:
Get ready a large plain white unscented pillar candle and some peppermint candies (round or stick). Unwrap the candies. Using a hot glue gum or glue dots (found at craft stores), glue candies all around the sides of the candle. It will look like candles sold for $15 and more in catalogs and fancy stores.

Personalize a Shirt:
This is a gift that most family members enjoy. Write things such as "NO:1 Dad", " Mom Loves You" or their favorite quotes on T-shirt or sweatshirt with squeezable fabric paint. Use his or her favorite colors and designs.

Hopes you enjoy making small little gifts for your loves one as I do...Happy myLotting:)

Im sre if i can do hand made gift this christmas. I will going to buy on store for the presents that's much easier for me and i can choose any hand made gfits too that selling on the shop. And my family overseas, i will send them cash coz it's expensive to send them parcel and cash is cheaper to send. Happy posting.
