I am so far behind on my DIY holiday gift-giving preparations. But moving across the country, baby visiting, job searching, job getting, and everything else we have going on right now has taken priority. Normally we start in September, getting stuff ready, but don’t let that intimidate you. We just have a really big family, spread all across the world, and these things take time.
So if you are looking for some ideas for stuff to jazz up your holiday gift-giving this year, why don’t you take a second to peek at some of the things I’ve made in previous years? There will be more of these ideas to follow as I start to catch up on my backlog, but until then, take a gander at these ones and see what you think. Let me know if I’ve missed any. Which ones are your favourites?
