16 handmade Christmas gifts your friends and family will love

handmade Christmas gifts

Giving handmade Christmas gifts is always so special.  It feels really thoughtful because you’re not only giving a gift but you’re also giving your time.

On the other hand, this is the busiest time of year for many of us, and making gifts can feel almost impossible.  But giving a DIY gift doesn’t always mean you have to spend hours making it.  I’ve picked out 16 handmade Christmas gifts most of which can be made in an afternoon.  There are some that can be created in under 30 minutes too.  So no matter how much time you have or don’t have, there is something for everyone.

If you really are time short, don’t miss the brass bookmarks that can be made in 2 minutes and the herb salt that takes under 10 minutes (+ drying time).  You can whip up a load of both these and give them out to all your book or cook loving friends and family.  Keep reading for lots more ideas.

Which is your favourite Christmas gift idea?  I’m definitely making the brass bookmarks as they are so easy to make and pair them with a book and that’s one gift done.  The other one I am planning to make is the leather pouches – so versatile. Perfect for him, for her or even as a pencil case for kids. And last, if I can swing it, that leather piggy bank is just the cutest DIY gift for kids.
