DiY Holiday Gifting Ideas.

Looking for some creative and thoughtful DIY holiday gifting ideas that are easy to make and can add a personal touch to your gifts this season? These affordable, fun, and personalized options can suit anyone in your life – and they’ve never been easier to make!

  1. Homemade Scented Candles: These are easy to make requiring only a few ingredients but can be a great statement for friends and family! Pick their favourite scent in essential oil (lavender, peppermint, cinnamon, sage, etc.) and mix in with melted wax and pour into jars with a wick! Plus, you can customize them further with fun holiday-themed tags or labels on the jars.
  2. DiY Bath Bombs: Surprisingly easy to make, these bath bombs pair especially well with a homemade candle or handmade soap for the ultimate personal-scented bath set! Requiring just baking soda, citric acid, Epsom salts and essential oils to set in molds, these are a fun, low-cost gift idea!
  3. Handmade Soaps: Another great gift idea to make a personalized statement are handmade soaps! All you need is a soap base, essential oils, and additives to pour into molds to set! Want to get extra personalized? Find unique and fun molds that celebrate the personality of that friend or family member! 
  4. Personalized Photo Calendars: Fun for the whole family, personalized calendars can be a great way to snapshot your previous year and highlight the good times as you head through 2025! You can have these created online or do it yourself by printing photos and a template, binding the pages with ribbon, and adding handwritten, personal notes on special dates.
  5. Custom Recipe Book: Do you have fun family recipes or have friends with a list of top treats? Why not create a custom recipe book with their favourite eats! All you need is a blank notebook or binder, printed recipes plus some photos for added personalization.
  6. Knitted Outdoor Wear: With the temperatures starting to drop, why not give the gift of comfort with a scarf or hat knitted with love? Combine their favourite colours or patterns and even add a personalized name tag!

The season of giving has never been easier with these affordable, fun and personalized gift ideas for all those special folks in your life!
