Ho ho ho it’s Christmas! Our favorite time of the year has arrived. Now it’s time for us to enjoy the holidays with our loved ones and pray for their well-being. Apart from that, one of our major concerns is buying gifts for them. Not sure what to buy? Too short on your budget? Why not just make something with your own hands and gift it to them! Don’t worry about choosing from a hundred different options because I’ve got you covered. Check out some of these DIY gift ideas that I personally prefer as Christmas gifts.

Mixtapes

A cute mixtape filled with your special person’s favorite songs! Nothing could be better. Just buy a blank CD from a local store and add the songs of your choice. Decorate the cover by tying a bow around it or writing a note, and you’re done.

Baked Goods

Who doesn’t like yummy brownies and shortbread cookies on Christmas? It’s actually a very cute idea that you could easily gift anyone with a low budget. Just follow some quick recipes, add your baking skills to it, and voila! Your tasty treats are ready to bring smiles to others’ faces.

Seed Cards

This is one of my most favorite gift items to receive, as well as to give. A seed card is a plantable card that can be made by following a few easy steps. All you need to do is collect recyclable paper, then tear them and blend them in a jar by adding warm water to it. Add the plant seeds you like. Strain the mixture, spread it on a flat surface, and wait for it to dry. For your convenience, I’ve added a tutorial link as well. Just click here.
