Handmade gifts. Nothing says, “I love you” more than the holiday card scribbled on lined paper or the paper plate wreath. Am I right? But, sometimes you want to give something from the heart that is a little more sophisticated. If you’re a crafty person, you’re going to love this list (and if you’re not, don’t worry. Many of these are not difficult to make) . All of these were chosen because they’re not only awesome gifts, they’re blogger tested. If you’ve shopped (or made gifts) for everyone on your list already, bookmark this post for next year!

So which handmade gift is your favorite? I’m definitely going to make the bath salts from Busy Being Jennifer. I love everything with essential oils because they are so relaxing and bath salts are right up my alley. We tried to make bath bombs last year and they didn’t turn out quite right. What do you think you’ll make first?
Great ideas! And perfect timing because I always have a need for last-minute gifts and my girls LOVE to get creative.
This is so great. Thank you! I’m forever forgetting someone and need to put something together last minute.
I’m obsessed with any thing involving a mason jar so I’m loving these DIY’s. My husbands boss gave him mason jar salt and pepper shakers in my favorite color and I almost drove to his work to kiss him square on the lips.
Such good ideas! I want to gift them all to myself… is that bad? Hahah
