Why Buy Christmas Gifts When You can Do Them Yourself?

Article Category: Advice

Author Name: Gary Lloyd

Whether you're feeling pressed for money or just wanting to give a new twist to your Christmas gift ideas, do-it-yourself gifts would surely appeal to you. From kitchen food concoctions to personal good deeds, there are many different ways to give away the Christmas spirit to your closest family members and friends. Take note, though, that most of these unique Christmas gifts may take up much of your time. So, if you're planning to go DIY this season, better start on these ideas right now.

One popular DIY Christmas gift idea usually involves food. There is no better way to warm the winter nights with good, home-cooked meals. In fact, you may have tried baking cakes or making cookies for your neighbors during Christmas. For a change, why don't you let them do the cooking? You can put together the ingredients to your favorite Christmas dish and artistically arrange them in a jar or basket. Including your recipe also adds a personal touch to this gift basket. That way, they are reminded of your cooking even when you're not there. If you still insist on doing a little Christmas cooking for your friends, you can present them with a scrapbook recipe collection of your prime specialties. With a card that says "Pass it on to your friends", you can fill a basket with delicious samples of the recipes you decided to share.

Home-made art is also another way to show appreciation to your friends. This may interest you if arts and crafts are your strong suit. Some suggest creating memory drawings. You can paint or draw a memory you had with a friend or family member, no matter how seemingly small that moment was. Whether you remember catching a big trout with your best buddy or just cuddling your first child to sleep, paint your sweetest memories into the sweetest portraits. Once you're done, you can frame it and give it as a gift. This kind of gift lets the recipient know that you value the times you shared with them. They also make for good conversation starters and "Remember when..." moments.

Playing to your loved ones' interest is a good starting place for your gift ideas for Christmas. If your friend loves food, you can give him a collection of different salts and spices. By going to the nearest gourmet food store, you can get these salts and spices by the pound. You can put them in little vials or, for an added twist, in test tubes covered with cork stoppers. Be sure to put them on a tray and decorate them with green and red, the season's signature colors. This may surprise you, but you can also give the gift of experience. Joining them in their first scuba diving or bungee jumping moment may prove to be a whole lot better than any ready-made Christmas present.

So, why buy when you can create Christmas gifts yourself? Not only do they make for unique Christmas gifts. They also provide that extra personal touch that shows your loved ones how much you appreciate having spent another good year with them.
