Best Christmas Gifts

When Christmas time rolls around, it can be hard to know what exactly to get your family and friends to celebrate the holidays. People have almost everything these days, so you want to get them something that counts, something that really shows you care about them. You don’t want to get your loved ones menial possessions that only require a small amount of thought. Everyone knows that, sometimes, the best gifts come from the heart. The best way to get your family members a gift from the heart is to make it yourself! Here are just a few things you can make yourself for Christmas presents.

1. Handmade Sweaters

If you know how to knit, sew or even crochet, this can be the easiest present you will ever make in your life. Usually, Christmas sweaters are simple enough in make- one or two colours and they’re nearly always green and red if not white. You can guess the rough size of a person by looking at them and even make it a bit bigger just in case. If you know them well enough to give them a personalised gift then surely you know what rough size they are! Then you can make it even more unique. Use simple things like bells and pieces of fabric and pictures that you can get in any arts and crafts shop around and just sew them on to the fabric. You can make cute designs and brilliant sweaters out of the tiniest bit of material and with minimal effort. No matter how little you do to your sweater, it will always look like it came from the heart which is what you want to achieve!

2. Ornaments

If you are handy with some clay, you may be able to make your own ornaments. You can get enough clay to make a piece for a couple of dollars in an arts and crafts shop. You can make just about anything with clay and it is so easy to do. If you have any artistic talent whatsoever you should be able to make an easy pot or vase for someone in your family for Christmas. You can use an ordinary oven as a method of baking it and then you can just use ordinary paint to fix it up. If you are feeling really adventurous, you could even use gloss! You can also make clay animals and people for your children if you want and you could even use wood instead of clay and carve it into cool ornaments. These top christmas gift possibilities are almost endless!

3. Jewellery

If there is one thing women love, it is jewellery. It is also surprisingly easy to make. You can get chains and hooks and beads in most arts and crafts show and even get pendants to put on them. You can even just super glue a paper message on to a coin and go over it in glossy super glue to give it a professional finish. No one would even guess you made it yourself and they will be thrilled when you tell them!

So, make your family gifts this Christmas- they will love you all the more for it!
