Feeling a little more crafty than usual this holiday season when it comes to your gift-giving? Like I said in yesterday's post, it focused on more of the store-bought items. These below take a little more time, but a great result in the end when you see the person's face when they receive that home-made gift.
Check out this link here to make these yummy hot chocolate truffles. I think these are great for that person that loves to stay in when it's cold and snuggle up next to the fire. The truffles can be frozen until you're ready to enjoy them. Just place in a mug with milk and heat away! For gifting you can place several truffles in a cute Christmas mug, wrap in clear plastic and tie with a ribbon.
Gift Basket. But how is this home-made you say? With all the thought
into compiling a person's favorite things, shared memories or common
items that they've been wanting, it's a great way to show someone that you care and love 'em. This website has so many wonderful gift giving ideas along with free printables, see link here. If you have a friend who loves movies, create a movie night basket: popcorn cups, candy, DVD, theater gift card, popcorn, blanket or whatever else you want to add!
Dabney Lee makes these super cute and trendy phone cases. This is an awesome customizable gift, a little on the pricey side but my goodness aren't these gorgeous iPhone cases? They are also available on some blackberries.
This was a great idea I found at Clover Lane Blog. A custom cookbook that hold your family's favorite recipes and favorite photos. Kind of a recipe scrapbook. This project you might have to give someone next Christmas, in order to compile your favorite recipes and photos, but I thought this was a wonderful idea. Make one for your family, but I think grandparents would enjoy it as well! We have a few cookbooks from local churches and organizations, but this cookbook is all about you and what your family loves to eat! I hope to do this one day and can pass this on to my children.
Today is my last work day of the week, hooray! Tomorrow I'll be preparing the house for the holidays and maybe helping my dad clean out the basement storage that is full of stuff from high school/college/childhood! I hope everyone has a fabulous Turkey Day!
