  Top : Family : Holidays : Christmas : Crafts and Decor : Gift Ideas


  • A Priceless Gift - The best inexpensive Christmas gift I ever received was from my son when he was in Kindergarten. The class took empty boxes (hair color, toothpaste, whatever) and wrapped them in wrapping paper and tied them with a ribbon. Attached to the box was this note...
  • Bubble Frame - Here's a fun and creative way to frame one of those classic bubble bath shots! Grab some old puzzle pieces, paint and some craft gems and you are on your way. These easy and personalized frames make wonderful gifts for relatives. Easy instructions and photo included with this craft.
  • Easy Photo Card - We all have them, photos of our kids that didn't make it into frames or albums. Well grab some construction paper or card stock, a photo and some glue and make this adorable little card. Give as a gift to Grandma, Aunt Lisa, their teacher, or yes, even Mom! Change the color of the card stock, and even the ribbon, to use this idea for other holidays, such as Mother's Day, Christmas, and birthdays!
  • Glittery Cinnamon Pinecones - Here's a kid-friendly craft to add some sparkle to your table this year. To top it off, you will enjoy the warm, inviting scent of cinnamon wafting through your home. A basket of these would make great teacher's gift too!
  • Holiday Gift Guide - Frugal, But Not Cheap! - This holiday season, try to create most of your gifts by yourself. Not only does making your own gifts save you money, but when you receive a homemade gift from someone, you know that the person gave from their heart.
  • Lump of Coal Candy - Do you know someone who has been naughty this year? Fill their stocking with these lumps of candy coal! This also makes a great gag gift!
  • Packaging Homemade Goodies as Holiday Gifts - Cookies, brownies, and homemade candies are wonderful gifts from the heart. But what are some fun and pretty ways to wrap your treats? Try some of these ideas when wrapping up your holiday gifts.
  • Poinsetta Pin - This beautiful pin is a perfect gift for your holiday hostess. When you arrive for dinner, have this beautiful gift from your heart ready to attach to her lapel. Makes a wonderful teacher gift, present for Mom, or any special lady on your shopping list!
  • Puzzle Frame - Have an old puzzle that is missing some pieces? How about some photographs that need framing? If you said yes, then you and the kids have a fun project ahead of you! These easy and personalized frames make wonderful gifts for relatives. Easy instructions and photo included with this craft.
  • Reindeer Cookies - These cute little cookies are sure to be a big hit with the kids this year. Don't forget to leave Santa some with a big glass of milk! Easy to make and super fun to eat. Give some as gifts, great for teachers!
  • Shoeboxes for Christmas - Filling a shoebox with goodies and sending to a child who would otherwise have nothing for Christmas. It's a simple concept but one that works well for Samaritan's Purse. Every year, through the Operation Christmas Child program, people from all over America, Canada, and parts of Europe have the opportunity to help children all over the world by simply filling shoeboxes with small gifts and treats.
  • Tips on Blending Your Own Potpourri - There are many ways of creating personalized potpourri blends. Potpourri is essentially a combination of dry botanical materials, fixative to hold the scent and scented oils. While fixatives are less than inspiring, adding your own botanical materials and/or scented oil creates a distinctively personal touch.
  • Vine Wreath Ornaments - Make these super easy vine wreath ornaments with your kids. Use them to decorate the Christmas tree, your home, or even as gift toppers. These make really nice gifts for teachers, Grandma, and even the mailman.
  • Wood Tag Snow Family - Make the entire snow family to hang on your tree! Better yet, make several sets to give away as gifts to teachers, the mail carrier, family, and friends!
