Homemade Holiday Gift Ideas

DIY GLITTER RIMMED MASON JARS – Made using old canning jars. Add an arrangement of flowers or even makeup (even paint) brushes for a complete gift.

I can assure you I’m not the craftiest person in the world, more stubborn than crafty but if I can make these gifts, so can you. We’ve got everything from decorative jars, to candles, to scrubs (both salt and sugar) to play dough for the kids to even a DIY mirror spruce up from that goodwill or garage sale find. You might even find you don’t want to give a few of these away and keep them for yourselves. They’re all budget friendly and like I said incredibly easy to make. A little time, a little glitter (because sparkle all the things) and you’ve got yourself a thoughtful gift to give for the holidays (or just because you want to make someone smile, there should be more of that in life.)

DIY CINNAMON WRAPPED CANDLE – You can buy cinnamon sticks and vanilla candles in bulk for extra savings.

I am a candle person, and we’ve got 4 to choose from. Whether you like, coffee, cinnamon, a more rustic looking log candle (you’ll need a power tool for this one but it’s still doable) or a serene floating candle, we’ve got you covered. These make great hostess gifts if you’re invited over for a dinner party.

DIY HOLIDAY FLOATING CANDLES – These are beautiful all lit up and smell fantastic with the fresh rosemary.

COFFEE BEAN CANDLES – Because I am a coffee-a-holic. If you want to make a larger gift, maybe add a bag of whole beans a moka (or pour over) pot, mugs and coffee spoons.

DIY RUSTIC LOG CANDLES – I scavenged logs from my backyard and only had to add tea lights so these are incredibly budget friendly. They look amazing on a mantle or down the middle of your table.
DIY COCONUT LIME SALT SCRUB – Homemade scrubs are amazing and couldn’t be easier to make. Google up a template and make a customized labels! Chalkboard labels are fun too!
