We’re busy over here working on the handmade gifts we have planned. From ring dishes to DIY brownie mixes, to fun tie dyed bookmarks, there are so many unique and creative ideas for easy, inexpensive and fun gifts for those on your gift list this year. These gifts are all also items that people would actually really like to receive. Handmade gifts are so appreciated, as well! Plus, most of these ideas are ones that kids can either help make or even do on their own. K has so far loved helping us make the gifts and I think it’s so meaningful to be able to give someone something that is really from the heart, something you’ve invested your time and effort in. So, if you have a wee bit of time to spare and are looking for some fun ideas, whether it’s for a teacher, a friend, a parent or other relative, or even a co-worker, here are some amazing ideas for DIY and handmade gifts for adults.
