Every year, I delay holiday shopping. It becomes overwhelming trying to find the perfect yet budget-friendly gift for those close to me. Use this list of DIY gifts to decide what’s best for everyone in advance and avoid spending more than you care to.
Not only is peppermint bark easy to make, its great for when you need a large quantity of gifts for a party or the office. You’ll only need white chocolate, milk chocolate and candy canes or mints. You can add a few drops of peppermint extract to the chocolate for more flavor.
Every one of us has that one friend who is constantly too cold, regardless of the season. Gift them a practical, microwavable heating pad. Make one with 100% cotton fabric, some thread and rice.
