Easy Homemade Christmas Gift Ideas

If you are on a Christmas budget this year and would rather try making your own gifts, you will be surprised at the ideas out there.  Sometimes homemade gifts are the best out there and seem to be cherished far more than store bought.  It's the TCL that has gone into it that makes is so very special.  Here is a list of homemade Christmas gift ideas that I have made with my family or would like to try.

Gingerbread Sugar Scrub

This is a fantastic gift for teen girls and adult women.  When it comes to bath and body gifts, you can't go wrong. Here are the ingredients you will need to make your scrub:

1/4 cup Sweet Almond Oil
1/2 cup Shea Butter soap base
1 cup brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon ginger
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon allspice
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves

Allow a Pumpkin and a Prince to show you how to efficiently put this recipe together.  It's truly an ideal homemade Christmas gift idea.

Double Chocolate Hot Chocolate Mix

Whip out those unused Mason Jars.  Turn them into a fabulous gift that looks like it's actually store bought.  The Yummy Life gives you detailed instructions along with an amazing printable to attach to the jar for that perfect finishing touch.

Personalized Wire Ornaments

If you are a fan of unique Christmas ornaments, here's an idea you can make on your own.  All you need are:

• 12 Gauge Aluminum Jewelry Wire
• Baker’s Twine or Yarn
• Eurotool Adhesive Super New Glue
• Pliers with Cutter

This is another homemade gift that looks like it was bought from the store or even a craft fair.  I definitely want to plan to make this gift next year for family and friends.  For full ideas on how to make your own personalized wire ornament, visit Consumer Crafts.

Candy Cane Mint Cookies in a Jar

The 36th Avenue just made my mouth water with this homemade gift idea.  It's another clever idea where a jar is the main supply needed to make a scrumptious gift. Friends and family will adore this.  Just visit The 36th Avenue at their link mentioned previously.
