8 Cute Homemade Gifts For Your SO

Buying gifts for your SO can be both frustrating and expensive. There are so many occasions for gift exchange when you are in a relationship. Whether it’s Christmas, Valentine’s day or an anniversary, these gifts can pile up over a year. Of course, there is also the option of giving your significant other something you made yourself. Making a homemade gift for your SO is a great way to save money, and make their day with a thoughtful gesture. Here are a few ideas for homemade gifts for your SO.

1. Handmade Jewelry

One option for a cute homemade gift for your SO is jewelry. If you lack the materials or experience to craft a ring out of a strip of metal, consider a ring from a guitar string or a good old fashioned friendship bracelet. These items are simple to make and can be worn by anyone, regardless of gender. Most importantly your SO will appreciate the time you spent creating something for them.

2. A Homemade Candle

All you’ll need for this homemade gift for your SO is wax, a wick, fragrance oil, and a container for the candle. These items are common in craft stores and won’t break the bank. A candle is a great item to give to your significant other, and it will be even more meaningful knowing it was made by hand. Try customizing your candle’s scent to the person you’re making it for.

3. A Self Care Kit

Putting together a basket of self-care materials for your significant other is a clear way to show them you care about their mental health. Throw in their favorite snacks, a face mask, a feel-good movie, or whatever you think they might need. Complete the kit with a handwritten note to really put the personal touch on this homemade gift for your SO.

4. Cookies

Now this option may seem obvious, but that’s only because classics never go out of style. A nice, warm cookie is one of the most comforting things in the world and is one of the easiest homemade gifts for you SO. Whether you stick with chocolate-chip, or spice it up a little, this will probably take you less than an hour and cost very little. There’s no need for an occasion for this gift, and they will likely be enjoyed by both you and your SO.

6. A Travel Board

To make this homemade gift for your SO, glue paper cut-outs of the continents onto a corkboard. Give your SO three colors of thumbtacks, one color for the places they’ve visited on their own, one for the places you’ve gone together, and one for places you’d like to go. This gift is perfect for a travel oriented person, and putting tacks down on each country can make a great activity for a couple to do together.

7. A Memory Board

One of the cutest and easiest homemade gifts for your SO is a memory board. You’ll need a corkboard, pictures of the people or places important to you SO, and small mementos from your relationship (ie: movie tickets, concert tickets, or small notes). This gift is simple to make because all you have to do is stick push-pins to a board. Your significant other will love the memory board because it makes for great room décor, because it’s sentimental, and because you made it.
