Make at Home Gifts!

So as my Chris and Myself are trying to save a buck for Christmas, I came across this site feeding 6, LOVE it!


She did some research on the internet and came up with these great homemade present ideas. Some directions for homemade soap made in the crockpot. It does take a few weeks to cure so if this interests you it's best to get started on this now. I have never made soap before, but I would love to start! I think these are just so pretty, and some of these fizzy bath bombs would go perfectly with them!

So, if you like me, have a ton of friends that spend a little too much time at Starbucks, (you know who you are), these earth friendly coffee cup sleeves would be a PERFECT gift for them! You can package it up with a few homemade flavored sugars for coffee and tea and you have the perfect gift.



You want frugal? How's this. These adorable stuffed hedgehogs are made from a dollar store car mitt. So stinkin' cute for the little one on your list.

Ok, so LOVE THIS! Take a $3 frame and a little creativity to create this amazing dry erase wall calendar. I might just have to make an extra one for my wall!



Broken crayons turn into custom monogrammed pictures. We are SO gonna make One of these for our daughter's teacher, how cute!



Ok, so when I was a kid, I SO remember making these snow globes! You can either make them yourself for someone, or how about giving the materials in a box with a little bow? What a fun time to have with a little one!



Ahh, the classic chocolate chip cookie, my favorite! How about this Cookie mix in a jar as a gift for your favorite sweet tooth?

So these are some affordable Christmas gifts for you to check out. Keep checking back, cause I will be finding some more!!

Remember, Christmas doesn't have to be a put-you-in-debt holiday. You can truly make some amazing easy on the wallet gifts that don't come off as "cheap".
