Easy, Creative Homemade Christmas Present Ideas

Itīs Christmas time! I donīt know about you, but Iīve already blown my 2007 shopping budget. How about some easy, the gift lyrics do it yourself (DIY) ideas for how to make gifts for family, friends, kids and teachers? Iīve scoured the internet and found some fun, easy ideas that donīt require too much time or the gift lyrics skill. They are creative and fun to make and receive. Please feel free to leave a comment with your homemade Christmas gift ideas.

Custom kits: These are fun ideas for kids and the gift lyrics can be assembled from items that have been in the junk drawer for years. You can make a custom kit for your child to care for their stuffed animals (pet supplies, toys, biscuits) the gift lyrics , dolls (baby wipes, newborn diapers, pacifier) or aspiring chef (a mixing spoon, cookie cutters, measuring cups and apron) . Think of what your child loves and get creative! Or go with an the gift lyrics adult theme and make a romance kit (fake rose petals, Sparkling cider, candles) or stress buster kit (aspirin, earplugs, eye mask) . Take the time to personalize your gift for extra credit! See the gift lyrics example.

Jar Gifts/Recipes: You can buy mason jars or use recycled jars from home for a wide variety of gift ideas. Assemble an entire recipe (here are some recipe ideas, and here the gift lyrics are even more recipes) or provide a sample treat along with the recipe to make it. For example, you could provide the recipe for homemade playdough along with a small sample in a the gift lyrics baggie. This is my favorite playdough recipe - it lasts for months if kept in a tupperware and has a great, rubbery consistency:

How to Make Basic Playdough:

2 cups flour the gift lyrics

2 cups water

1 cup salt

4 tablespoons cream of tartar

2 teaspoons vegetable oil

Food coloring or Kool aid mix

Directions:

Mix flour, water, salt, the gift lyrics cream of tartar and oil in saucepan. Add food coloring/Koolaid to mixture. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly. Remove from heat when dough forms a ball. Cool for five minutes before using. To the gift lyrics make the playdough even more fun, mix in some small googley eyes, glitter, sand or sequins after the dough has cooled. You can also mix in a scent. Use any kind of extract the gift lyrics (vanilla, banana, peppermint) , nutmeg or pumpkin pie spice. Here are some more tips for working with and making play dough/clay.

Dog Bone Wreath: Make sure your pets are included in the the gift lyrics fun this Xmas. Make a simple wreath from dog biscuits and chew toys to hang over their water bowl or dog house. You can use simple wire to tie it together or go the gift lyrics more ornate by using an actual wreath frame and decorating it appropriately. See example.

Plaster casts: Although this project may take a little more prep, once you have the supplies itīs an the gift lyrics easy, creative and unique gift. Find your favorite sea shells, use your babyīs hand, a fruit, or any other interesting object in your home to create a custom molded dish. Dishes can be the gift lyrics used for jewelery, soap, sewing supplies, etc. I love this idea because you can stay simple or go all out with painting and decorating your mold. See example.

Heat Saver Animals: These the gift lyrics are a perfect gift for those in a cold climate. I remember these lining all the doorways of my home as a child. And with all the fun stockings and socks out there, the gift lyrics you can make a fun, durable animal with almost no effort. See example.

Homemade Postcards: Another great way to include your child in holiday gift-giving. What are you going to do with the gift lyrics all those art projects he brings home from school? Or are you an artist looking for some recognition? Scan your pictures and print them out on cardstock to create custom postcards for family the gift lyrics and friends. You can copy and print the photos yourself or run to the copy shop and have them copy and cut the cards for you. See further instructions.

Gag Gifts: Make the gift lyrics sure the recipient has a sense of humor before trying these!

Snowman Poop: Fill a bag with mini marshmallows, tie it up and attach the below poem with a ribbon. For extra the gift lyrics effect, put the marshmallows in a brown paper bag, singe the edges of the bag with a match and leave it on their doorstep:

Santa looked at his list,

Even checked the gift lyrics it twice.

And he has seen that you

have not been very nice.

Since coalīs so expensive,

Hereīs the scoop,

Santaīs filling your stocking

with SNOWMANīS POOP! the gift lyrics

Magic Reindeer Food: A jar of glittery goodness to sprinkle on the lawn for Rudolf and his crew. Great fun for kids. See recipe and example.

Box of Love: Cheesy though the gift lyrics it is, this one is my absolute favorite! Itīs so simple and completely charming if itīs given by a child. Trust me, the grandparents will melt. Use any small boxes youīd like and the gift lyrics wrap them up (jewelry boxes work very well and are inexpensive at craft stores) . Try and get your child to help decorating and coloring the box with ribbons, sequins, glitter, etc. Then the gift lyrics print this poem on cardstock and attach to the present:

This is a very special gift

That you can never see.

The reason itīs so special is,

Itīs just the gift lyrics for you from me.

Whenever you are happy,

or even feeling blue.

You only have to hold

this gift and know

I think of you.

You never the gift lyrics can unwrap it

Please leave the ribbon tied.

Just hold the box close

to your heart,

Itīs filled with love inside.

Iīll update this list as I find the gift lyrics more simple, inexpensive gift ideas. Merry Christmas, everyone! Remember that the real gift is in the giving. But that doesnīt mean I donīt want tons of presents from everyone.

Need some ideas the gift lyrics for easy, homemade Christmas cards?

Here are some of my favorite ideas!

the gift lyrics Oh Hollywood.the empty box is your favorite ever? I hate that one--I got it for a gift once. I was like if you love me, youīd buy me a gift.

I know, the gift lyrics Iīm not a very beautiful person on the inside.

Hollywood said.

I guess Iīm just in a particularly sappy mood this morning. But like I said, unless the gift lyrics they are a grandparent or girlfriend, the Box of Love will probably fall flat. But seriously, if I got one of these from my kid Iīd melt.

If I get a Box of Love from my husband for Christmas I will throw down right in the middle of the living room.

He would be toast.

I love the heat saver animals and I have made something similar, though not as cute. Warning: do not fill with rice unless you want Mickey and the gift lyrics his friends to invade your house. I would love to find an alternative filler. I tried cat litter (minus the litter) and it worked well, but became pretty dusty after a few years. the gift lyrics

I think my mom filled ours with dried beans. Do you think the mice would attack that too?

11/27/2007 9:50 AM

Heffalump said. the gift lyrics

Speaking of rice.you can make reuseable heating pads with rice. Just sew a small pillow shape, or better yet a long tube shape, fill it with rice and sew the end closed. the gift lyrics You can throw it in the microwave, or keep it in the freezer and use it on sore muscles and etc. Just microwave it for a minute or so and it retains the the gift lyrics heat for a long time. When I was a kid it was very cold in our house at night, and I filled a tube sock with rice, tied a knot in the end, the gift lyrics microwaved it and it kept my feet warm until I went to sleep. It also did a great job defrosting the window of my pinto when I went to work in the mornings, the gift lyrics just heat and put on the dash.

You can use whole wheat if you donīt want to use rice.

amanda said.

Yeah, the box of love the gift lyrics doesnīt really seem like your style. I was surprised you would risk your reputation like that, saying it was your favorite. I would have expected you to say something more along the lines the gift lyrics of: Now this totally made me gag to even write about it, but here it is. But I melt at anything my kids give me. So I guess itīs all good. Plus, who the gift lyrics doesnīt love homemade? Great googleable post. Hopefully you make a little cash off of it. Very smart. Good luck.

11/27/2007 12:19 PM

Teah said.

Love the ideas. My sister actually the gift lyrics had a quick cheap nī easy crafting session this morning. We beaded really easy necklaces. Iīm also making SUPER easy card sets for a few of my cousins (spray adhesive on a full the gift lyrics sheet of crumpled, smoothed out tissue paper. Lay plain folder style cards on the paper, cut them out and your done! Quick, cheap nī easy.) Weīre dipping plastic spoons in chocolate and pairing the gift lyrics them with some really nice cocoa for the sisters in our relief society. Oh, and my sister loves to make those grocery bag holders - itīs a tube of fabric, with a loop the gift lyrics on one end to hang it, and elastic on both ends to keep the bags in. Totally useful!

11/27/2007 12:23 PM

Teah said.

And I donīt know why everyoneīs getting the gift lyrics in such a snit over the Box of Love! Thatīs an awesome gift to get for someone you visit teach, or.people like that. A secret Santa gift? Part of the 12 days of the gift lyrics Christmas? There are a lot of possibilities - I donīt think anyone was suggesting that an empty box with a sappy poem was the only thing you present to to the love of the gift lyrics your life on Christmas morning. Or a kid getting it for mom? Awesome!

11/27/2007 12:26 PM

Hollywood said.

Thanks for sticking up for me, Teah! Canīt a girl have a the gift lyrics heart? And thanks for the great ideas! I love the chocolate dipped spoon one.

So hereīs the new rule. You can only rip on the Box of Love if you leave a the gift lyrics better homemade Christmas idea in the comment section.

11/27/2007 12:50 PM

Marie said.

I also would be a pretty ticked to get an empty box with a sappy poem. Whereīs the gift lyrics my bubble bath? My scarf? My cheap slippers??? Sure, itīs a great gift to give. but to receive? Nuh-uh.

Okay, a better home-made Christmas gift. Iīm a big fan of compilation CDīs the gift lyrics myself. They can be made with popular songs from the recipientīs senior year, or good work-out music, house cleaning music, parent-friendly kid music, etc. Takes a lot of thought but not a lot the gift lyrics of money.

I could really use some heatsaver animals, I might make some for myself.

11/27/2007 2:29 PM

AOBrien said.

I always make choclate covered pretzels and attach a the gift lyrics homemade ornament. They are so easy.Just melt caramel with some milk ( to thin it) . Dip the pretzel rod in the carmel and let cool in the fridge. Then melt cholate and the gift lyrics dip the carmel rod in it and cover the final product with crushed heath bars. So, easy and you can make tons of varieties. Shove them in some pretty cellophane and they look the gift lyrics expensive. But, really they cost nothing!

11/27/2007 2:51 PM

Few ox said.

My mom does the spoon thing but with fudge.

I like the snowman poop. Iīll have to the gift lyrics do that, thatīs how poor I am!

And youīll have to tell me where to get Sparking Cider from. That would definitely make my night more romantic!

11/27/2007 2:53 PM

the gift lyrics Jenny said.

My favorite gift idea is some kind of kit--we gave my best girl friend and her hunny a honeymoon kit for their wedding, with bubble bath, pizza coupons, candles, sparkling the gift lyrics cider, a deck of cards, etc. I also do a movie night kit with a $5 blockbuster card, a couple packs of popcorn, and some candy, and of course it comes in a the gift lyrics popcorn bowl.

Good ideas.

Ha Ha you suckers said.

the gift lyrics One of my favorite homemade gift ideas is very cheap, and very easy. My sister gave this to one of her friends when she was about 7 (we still tease her about it the gift lyrics now) . Okay, so you just take a banana, peel the banana. eat the banana. now get what ever you can find to decorate the peel. And. WHALA! you have a very cheap the gift lyrics eco friendly gift. this is a real pleaser;)

11/28/2007 7:54 AM

I wasnīt talking about you Hollywood. I was talking about Few ox.

(not)

11/28/2007 7:57 AM

Ha Ha you suckers said.

Seriously, please do NOT I repeat NOT give this to your friends or family (even the gift lyrics though I will probably give it to my sister:) . It isnīt very nice to receive a decorated banana peel for Christmas (or whatever holiday you celebrate that you get presents)

11/28/2007 the gift lyrics 7:59 AM

Hollywood said.

Are we going to start talking about bad presents? The banana peel one is pretty sweet. I have a few goodies.

One year for a White the gift lyrics Elephant present I received a used, still wet from the shower, stick of deodorant. Last year I got a female catheter at a friendīs White Elephant party. Iīm hosting another one this year the gift lyrics and canīt wait to see what turns up. Iīm fighting the urge to wrap up a wet diaper.

11/28/2007 8:05 AM

No, do a Poopy diaper;) (I know, the gift lyrics Iīm sick) . Or you could do snowman poop.

Housewarming Gifts

Are you a the gift lyrics Realtor looking for a housewarming gift to say thank you for your business? Or perhaps a friend of someone moving into a new home, either across the street or across the nation? What the gift lyrics should you give? The answer depends a lot on how well you know the recipientsī tastes and personal preferences.

A plant is one of the first thoughts BUT are they allergic? Do the gift lyrics they have the time and interest to devote to keeping a plant looking healthy and alive or will it soon die and be tossed in the garbage heap? A picture or home decor the gift lyrics gift is, of course, appropriate but only if you know their decorating style, colors, and tastes. A cute country kitchen sign would be welcomed by someone with country decor but youīll see them the gift lyrics grimace when they say thank you if their style is sleek and modern.

If they have a collection, this is an ideal time to add to it. But once again, be sure the gift lyrics that you know what they will like and appreciate.

Of all the housewarming gifts that weīve delivered in the past 15 years, housewarming gifts that contain food are the most welcome. The the gift lyrics container can be the gift if youīve selected a gorgeous picnic basket or bowl. Pile it high with their favorite gourmet foods, wrap with cello and top with a beautiful bow and youīll the gift lyrics have a gift that will be remembered long after the food has been eaten. Foods can be gourmet, snack, or just plain old junk food -- depending on the age and taste of the gift lyrics the person you are giving the gift to. Gourmet Gift Baskets make wonderful housewarming gifts.

A gourmet specialty cake, cheese cake, or a special tea gift basket are also welcome housewarming gift the gift lyrics ideas. If you are a property manger and need a large quantity of housewarming gifts to give to each new resident to welcome them to your property, inexpensive, uniquely different apartment gifts are the gift lyrics the answer.

If you still donīt find the perfect housewarming gift, give us a call and weīll create a custom design for you.

Sympathy Gift Baskets

Death is an inevitable event that all of us will experience at one time or another before our own. We find it hard to find the right the gift lyrics words to express our feelings or show how much we care. But remember, people donīt always remember what you said to them or gave to them but they do remember how you made the gift lyrics them feel. When you want to make them understand how much you care, a sympathy gift basket can make that statement without your having to say a word.

Oftentimes, the bereaved are the gift lyrics overwhelmed with flowers, food, and condolences before and during a funeral. But when the flowers have died, the food has been eaten, and the friends have all gone home, a gift from you the gift lyrics is like a hug that whispers Iīm still thinking of you! So, even though you may send your condolences at the time of the funeral, donīt forget to follow up with a sympathy the gift lyrics gift a few weeks or even a month later.

The anniversary of the death of a loved one, a wedding anniversary, birthday, or any other special time that was spent together can the gift lyrics be a particularly sad time for the one left behind. These are occasions to show how much you care--even if itīs only a card reminding them that they are in your thoughts or the gift lyrics an angel pin for those who are religious.

The Little Store That Went Away

Let me take you back to the days the gift lyrics when Flagstaff was a small town. When complaints were flying that you had to go to Phoenix if you wanted to shop. And when you could find a parking space downtown. I’m talking the gift lyrics about the time before the Flagstaff Mall, Wal- Mart, Kohlīs, and Target. Oh, there were still lots of stores, even some large chain stores like Long’s Drugs, Thrifty Drug, and Safeway. But there the gift lyrics were also lots of unique little stores owned by folks who lived and worked in Flagstaff .

But that was twenty-five plus years ago. The town has grown and times have changed. the gift lyrics Phoenix shopping has arrived in Flagstaff and has brought with it both the good and the bad. Prices, selection, and service have improved. Traffic has increased. Parking downtown is almost an impossibility. And the gift lyrics we’ve lost many of the unique little shops that once catered to the needs of Flagstaff and the surrounding area.
