We all know that finding the perfect gift can be a little tricky but making a handmade gift with love is always well-received (even if it has a little character).

Here are our teams’ favourites ideas & inspo from makers who make amazing things!

1. Homemade tasty treats like jams, relishes, slices and chocolate bark. We are loving all of the ideas & recipe on this blog post from Delicious.

Bonus brownie points up for grabs if you add some personal touches to jars and packaging, here’s some inspo from Em

2. A scrunchie will always come in handy, these cute crochet hair ties can be customised to anyone’s style. This tutorial is a great place to start.

3. Bust out the sewing machine and make some easy pouches, great for wrapping small gifts and creating goodie bags that can be used all year long.

4. Watercolour Christmas cards are a nice and simple project, check out a few of our favourites here - Beginner friendly watercolour Christmas cards.
