Christmas is just around the corner and everyone's excited to give and receive gifts this festive season! It's the most beautiful time of the year and it's best celebrated with friends and family who you love dearly. But gift giving doesn't need to be expensive, and it certainly doesn't need to be hours spent traipsing around shopping malls buying stuff that your loved ones don't really need. In fact, intimate gift-giving is one of the things that we look forward to at Christmas. Gifts make with love and thoughtfulness. I wonder if you agree with me on that?
PLUS, with C O V I D restrictions still being imposed in parts of Australia, it can be really difficult to shop for gifts locally.
So ... let's remove the stress of the mall and the crazy Christmas shopping crowds, and bring it back to HANDMADE!! Handmade are the gifts made with love and thought. They're fun for the maker, it gives us a chance to think about the one we're making for, and they're so wonderful for the receiver!
YES! Get your creative juices flowing and start prepping for Christmas gifts that you make yourself which are more personal, and made from the heart. SWEET!
So, we've compiled a list of handmade gift ideas that you can give someone this Christmas ... here they are!
