Are you crafty and looking for something different to do for Christmas? Here are some seriously cute DIY Christmas present ideas that you and the family could create!
Truth be told… I’m a horrible Christmas shopper.
I love Christmas. I love the holiday season. And, I love the food….. But, Christmas shopping, I do not love.
Each year I try to find something I can do or make instead of shopping for presents. Not only does it allow me to be creative or crafty, but it allows me to add a loving touch to the items that I make.
I can choose to separate things by boy or girl gifts or keep all things neutral.
That’s why I love the ideas in this “Christmas Present Idea” list. They’re all easy to make and everyone can enjoy something.
