Homemade gifts are a wonderful way to show you care for those you love. Here is a bunch of natural DIY Christmas gifts you can make that are sure to please.

diy christmas gifts - homemade scrub, lip scrub, lip balm, and lotion bar

I love making things from scratch, from personal care products like my hair rinse and body cream to home care products like this window cleaner and shower cleaner. But nothing is as much fun to make as gifts for someone else.

I've made homemade Christmas gifts for a long time, but typically they were only cookies and candies. These days I am thinking not just about edible treats like my no-bake cookies, but also about things that would make great Christmas gifts, or really great gifts for anytime.

So--are you behind in your Christmas planning?

Wanting to tighten your budget and avoid spending too much on last-minute gifts?

I've got a great list of homemade gifts that take little time to pull together. Because there's only one week left....Eek!

Quite truthfully, we aren't doing that much traditional hustle-bustle Christmas stuff this year.

My adrenal fatigue doesn't do well when there is too much stress and frankly, I don't care much for all the Christmas season chaos.

(You can see in Slowing Down for Christmas how we try not to do too much.)

But I do like DIY gifts--both since they are homemade and frugal.

I love the homemade touch and my wallet loves the frugal part :-).

This list is a keeper for sure--so many great ideas for everyone on your list. Use it now or refer back to it anytime you need a homemade gift for someone special.

In fact, this list really could be great for all kinds of holidays and events--think graduation, birthday, gifts for teachers, etc.

And if you'd like to supplement this list with even more fantastic homemade gift ideas, check out this post of Homemade Mother's Day Gifts. So many fantastic ideas there that would make great Christmas Gifts as well.

Note that many of these gifts use essential oils. For an extra special holiday gift, you can consider using one of these Holiday Essential Oil Blends to add an extra special Christmas touch to your gift.
