Homemade Christmas Gifts

November 19, 2025

This year, I am making gifts for my nieces and nephews and that is it, but these ideas can really be for friends and family of all ages! I think it is so nice to add creative, homemade, touches to gifts.

name banners

this can be using up old fabrics that you have laying around, or you can go out and pick out some cute fabrics you think your loved one would enjoy

book basket

wrap up a gift that you loved from the past year with some little things that go along with the theme of the book - this can be completely thrifted or even found in your own home

personalized sweater

personalize either an old sweater that you already have, or a cute new sweater from the store, with a monogram or a special date between the two of you

something consumable

if there is a treat that you have been wanting to make, or been enjoying making recently, share that with your loved ones

recipe book

go around to family members who have signature dishes, collect them, and put them all in one place - you can even copy this book for multiple loved ones

something of yours they’ve admired

this can be from your closet, your jewelry drawer, your kitchen, wherever - if there is something that you aren’t using as much as you know they would, give it to them to enjoy

I hope this list launches you into gifting seasons with some low cost, high impact, gifts to give those you love the most.
