DIY holiday gift ideas

When we find that the days are approaching towards the next festive holiday or special occasion, we all get the dreaded feeling of not knowing what to give out as a great holiday gift idea. We worry that whatever it is that we choose for the person or people we have in mind, there is no way that they will be truly happy with what we bring. That is, until you remember the old saying that items made from the heart last a lifetime and are always the best gift to give.

This is the time to think and pound your mind on what you are good at with your hands. It could be making a card, drawing a picture, doing a craft, knit a sweater or bake some cookies!

Baking goods have always been the biggest homemade gift that is given out, whether it be cookies, pies, or cakes. Bake some cookies, brownies and other such baked goods and placed inside mason jars, topped with fabric, a small ribbon, and the recipe.

What do you think?

I tend to give a lot of soft sculptured toys and crocheted gifts. That may just be because I tend to be hyperactive, though. ;)
