#Cookie Cutter Wreath

If the receiver of your gift enjoys decorating their house during the holiday season, then this DIY is a great choice. And if they are a baker, then that’s a bonus! This cookie cutter wreath is adorable, budget-friendly and can be made super easily. All you need is different shaped cookie cutters which you will arrange in a circular shape. Then, once you’ve placed them in the order/pattern you like, secure them onto one another with two-part epoxy. Finally, add a pretty bow.

Your friends and family will be munching on this yummy marmalade into the new year.

#Punch Needle Embroidery Pillow

A festive throw pillow is a great way to bring in some holiday spirit to your receiver’s life. However, making it yourself will bring extra charm and sentimental value. Plus, it’s also a great idea if you enjoy practical gifts, as they can actually use – both as decoration or to lay on. And if you are interested in the art form of punch needling, but haven’t tried it yet, this little pillow is a great place to start.

#Santa Slime

Children seem to be fascinated with slime. While it can sometimes create a mess, kids love to play with it. So, why not make a Christmas themed slime this year for your little one? Just take a mason jar and create a Santa outfit for it with some black ribbon, glitter foam and some black buttons. Then all that’s left is to make some red slime and fill up the Santa slime jar.

#Recipe Box

If you are sick and tired of gifting cookbooks, then you can spice it up a bit this year. Instead, you can give your chef friend or family member a box where they can keep their favorite recipes (which can be of their own creation). Create a beautiful recipe box with some scrapbook paper, stickers, effort, and imagination.
