I love home made gifts. They are so much more meaningful. I don't make a lot myself because I'm not that artistic. I am however making my moms this year because she hurt her back really bad, so I'm making her a spa basket.

that is a great idea make sure you add a tea cup and a sample of tea or coffee for her to sip while relaxing in the spa

get a cute teapot that you heat on the stove top tilt the lid open fill with little instant coffee samples you can usually find a box with samples at walmart in the coffee isle find some cookies wrap them in colorful cellophane tie a cute mug to the handle wrap the whole thing in cellophane add a bow and there's a sweet gift Have fun making your gifts

I make some gifts for my family memebers. I really like sewing so last year I made my daughter and neices all matching dresses. They loved them. I also sew the kids winter hats and mittens from Polar Fleece. I mad my kids Nemo ones a few years back and got a lot of compliments on them.

I like to make beaded jewelry as gifts. It is one of my hobbies. It takes time however so it doesn't work for last-minute gifts.

I would love to have the time to make my gifts. That never seems to happen. I realy enjoy receiving gifts that are from the heart and just wern't something that you stopped in at the mall to pick up in a hurry.

I started by picking up small gifts when they were on sale and when an occasion came up I had the makings for a basket I would put several things in a basket or cute box put a bow on it and woo hoo I had a gift in a matter of minutes Try it you will be amazed at your new gift for that someone special

that is so nice! its so much more personal. and its great that you can make money with them, too. i like to make gifts, but sometimes they come out badly, so i just throw them out and buy something.
