Easy Frugal Homemade Christmas Gifts

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.

They’re great for gifting to teachers, friends, or family, and many of them would make great healthy stocking stuffers too.

I’ve made homemade Christmas gifts for a long time, but typically they were only cookies and candies. But in addition to edible treats like these no-bake cookies, there are lots of great non-edible gifts to make as well.

I love homemade gifts. Even though they take awhile to make, you can avoid the hustle of the stores and spend time with others making them. I think it really helps you focus on the Reason for the Season and Slow Down for Christmas a bit.

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 like for graduation, birthday, gifts for teachers, etcetera.

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.

For an extra special holiday gift, you can consider using one of these Holiday Essential Oil Blends in any of the following that call for essential oils to make them even more festive.
