5 Crafty Christmas gift ideas

Making your own Christmas presents can be a great way to save money, but it’s also a great way to give a unique and personal gift to someone you care about. Even if you don’t think of yourself as creative, these are some ideas that you can do and be proud of.

  • If you love cooking, consider a practical gift like jam, marmalade, relish, chocolates, or biscuits.
  • Hand painted mugs. Personalise a plain mug, glass, or cup using nail polish as paint. No two will be the same!
  • Plain coasters can also be painted and decorated using nail polish.
  • Create an instant cake mix or dessert mix by layering all the dry ingredients in a glass jar. Write your instructions on a sticker and attach it to the jar.
  • Soap is relatively easy to make and can usually be purchased as a kit. Everyone needs soap! If you’re handy with a crochet hook or knitting needles, you could include a hand towel or face washer.

If you’re really challenged or don’t have time to get crafty, you can create your own themed gift basket. Here’s some ideas:

  • Gifts for coffee lovers. A variety of coffee beans, gourmet chocolates, mince pies.
  • Gifts for foodies. Gourmet olive oils, relish, honey, nuts, crackers.
  • Gifts for movie lovers. Popcorn (different flavours and varieties), movie gift card.
