Homemade gift ideas for every occasion

Let’s be real – our consumerist society is slowly but surely sucking the life out of holidays, and diminishing their charm. In the past, Christmas, birthdays, and other special occasions used to be about showing people your appreciation. In our modern day and age, however, everything revolves around shrewd marketing and the accumulation of material goods. We struggle to buy more and more gifts, and spend an increasing amount of money each year, without realizing that quantity cannot replace quality. A truly good present needs to be personal and thoughtful, and no amount of cash can buy you that.

Here’s where handmade gifts come in. They show that you are willing to spend hours of your time making something truly unique for the special people in your life. It’s like giving a small piece of your soul, which bears the imprint of your inimitable imagination. Plus, DIY gifts are a lot more sensible from a financial perspective – even if your budget is quite tight, you can still surprise your loved ones with something beautiful. Last, but definitely not least, handmade gifts are environmentally friendly. All too many of us buy mass-produced items that quickly end up in the bin, once people have grown tired of them. Not so with DIY presents! Not only are they usually made from recycled materials, but they hold tremendous sentimental value, which makes people want to keep them forever.

In addition, the variety of homemade gift ideas is simply staggering! For Christmas, you can try making DIY candles, customized calendars, knitted goods, coasters, lavishly decorated everyday items and, of course, chocolate and sweets, in attractively crafted containers.

What about Mother’s Day? Well, a DIY wallet, a hand-crafted bracelet, or a decorated vase, are excellent suggestions. Dads meanwhile, are sure to love a customized mug, or a creative frame, containing your favorite family photo. As for your besties, the possibility are simply endless! Depending on their preferences, you can opt for handmade bookmarks, t-shirts, phone covers and more.

If you’d like some visual inspiration, check out our gallery bellow! It has tons of great homemade gift ideas, including several awesome video tutorials.

Homemade gift ideas – citrus potpourri

Preparation:

  1. The first thing to do is to make sure that your fruit is well dehydrated. If you have a food dehydrator at home, all the better. If not, do not panic because you could also dry your fruit in the oven. For this purpose, preheat the oven first at 100º C.
  2. Cut your fruit into thin slices and then store them on a baking sheet covered with baking paper. Bake for about 6 hours or until dehydrated.
  3. Then store the dried fruits and other ingredients listed above in a simple glass jar. To make it more beautiful, wrap a ribbon or string around the neck of the pot. You can even think of slipping a slice of dried fruit through for a charming decoration.
  4. To fill your house with pleasant Christmas flavors, simply place the jar in a pot and fill half with water to heat and simmer over very low heat. Be careful because the water will dissipate with time! So at some point, your ingredients could end up without water and therefore burn, which will result in a rather unpleasant smell.

  4. For the pom-poms at the corners, make sure to pass the thread through the inside of the pompom. For the rest, we put in the middle.
  5. Once you have sewn horizontally through the rows of felt balls, pull the thread so that the rows of balls are tight and there are not too many gaps between them.
  6. Then continue the sewing by the columns of balls of felt according to the same pattern of sewing according to the location of the balls.
  7. Once all the balls are sewn and secured, end with a knot, while hiding it in a ball. Be sure to pull the string and cut the end of the string so that it is completely hidden.

A gift for the home – candle in recycled glass jar

Materials needed:

  • glass jars
  • 1 block of beeswax
  • 1 candlewick
  • dried flowers
  • tin can and pan
  • 1 brush
  • knife
  • cutting board

DIY candles too beautiful to make for Christmas or as a gift for Mother’s Day

Production :

  1. Cut the beeswax into enough pieces to fill the can.
  2. Place a few pieces of wax in the can and then put it in a saucepan, which you must fill with 5 cm of water. Heat over medium heat until the wax is melted. Then turn down the heat so that the water starts to simmer.
  3. Dip the brush into the wax and apply the dried flowers against the inner surface of the glass jar. Without completely fixing the flowers, this will allow them to stay as close as possible to the side of the jar when pouring the wax into the glass jar.
  4. To fix the wick, apply a little wax on the foot of the wick and then press against the bottom of the jar so as to fix. The other end of the wick, tie around a wand so that the wick can hold up straight when wax is poured.
  5. When the wax is already melted, add more pieces to fill the entire contents of the can. Then, take the tin with a kitchen glove and pour the wax into the glass jar.
  6. Cut at the end the wick leaving about half a centimeter to top. To complete, decorate the glass jar to your preference.

Handmade gift to beautify and aromatize your home – that’s how to do it!
