Easy Homemade Christmas Gifts

See the best easy homemade Christmas gifts. Christmas is around the corner. Most are finishing up their shopping. Gift-giving can get expensive however, it doesn’t always have to be.

Because it’s becoming crunch time with gifts. I’m sharing the best easy homemade gifts.

I find homemade presents to be the best gift of all. When I wrap a gift that is handmade I know it comes from the heart. When family or friends receive these on Christmas they light up and know I put thought into each detail.

Chocolate Chip Cookies

My first easy homemade gift idea is homemade cookies. Everyone loves cookies, especially at Christmas. I threw these together over the weekend. These are chocolate chip cookie dough cookies without the chips. I will be sharing this recipe soon. This is easy and delicious and perfect for a homemade gift from the heart.

Because it’s so good I am going to make some for Christmas day. As a result of thinking of a new version of these, I will share them soon too. How does chocolate chip cookie dough with no chips and caramel pudding sound?

Here is a great recipe perfect for Christmas and now is the time to make this recipe because it gets better as it sits in the refrigerator.  

I also made these and they flew out of the house.

Add the homemade cookies to a sealed jar and they are the perfect gift to give to anyone in your life.  These also are great to have for hostess gifts!

Gift Toppers

Snowflakes To Add To Packages

Now let’s see the second-best easy homemade Christmas gifts and a great addition to many things for Christmas. For instance, adding it to the jar of homemade cookies is cute.

I also like these to be placed on the table for Christmas day and let your family or friends take them home. These are great because they give your guests something homemade for Christmas and a memory of the day and they can hang these on their Christmas tree next year.

Adding these to gift bags and packages gives the family another memory of something homemade from the heart.

Ornaments

Hang Them On The Christmas Tree

Finding these wood slabs HERE I simply printed images cut them with decoupage scissors and added them to the tops.  Using Mode Podge and adding these takes no time at all.  Again, these are easy gifts from the heart.  Homemade trinkets added to Christmas gifts often mean everything to loved ones. This lets them know I take extra time thinking of them.

I added white wax to the side of each wood disc but this is optional.

After cutting the image use a foam brush or paintbrush and add Mod Podge.

This is a great homemade piece to also hang from the jar of cookies and these can be hung on the Christmas tree next year. 

Slip string or twine through the hole and it becomes a Christmas ornament.  When it’s hanging on your family’s tree they will always think of this special holiday season.

Here’s another idea, buy a metal ring and during next Christmas, they can use it as a key chain.  Now how heartwarming and special is that?

Gift Tags

Lastly, I bought wood tags from the craft store. I printed the images out again. Using Mod Podge and a foam brush I added them to the tags. Next using different trims I have in my craftroom I hot glued them around the edges.

You may notice rusty washers. Add washers to a plastic container with a bit of white vinegar, table salt, and peroxide. Let them sit overnight. Remove the washers in the morning and let them dry on a paper towel or paper plate and they will become rusty. This is optional but it’s an easy project and adds charm and a rustic look.

Tip: If you are going to add washers use Elmer’s glue and let them dry before adding your garland.

In Conclusion:

These also are easy crafts to make and also come from the heart. I am telling you I have made many gifts as presents over the years. I can honestly tell you they are so loved because they come from the heart.

The person receiving these can hang it on their Christmas tree next year and remember you every time they see this homemade gift. Or they can display it in a bowl with ornaments inside the home next holiday season.

So again, remember Christmas gifts can be large or small. Christmas is about showing the ones we are closest to they are loved, thought of, and appreciated. Adding these to gifts or to place settings to take home after Christmas dinner or brunch will mean so much.
