15 Gorgeous (And Easy) DIY Gifts That People Will Actually Want

The holiday season is right around the corner and I’m SO excited for all things festive. Gingerbread baking, Christmas tree chopping, watching cheesy Hallmark Christmas movies, and of course spending lots of time with loved ones! It also has me thinking of what I’m going to gift my family and friends this year, and I’m thinking I’m going to go DIY this season.

DIY gifts are not only thoughtful, they’re a great way to gift your favourite people something unique, not to mention save money around the expensive holiday season! While some of these DIYs are a little more pricey (for those extra special someones on your list – hi, mom and BFF), most are incredibly affordable to make! And I’ve scoured the web to find extra gorgeous DIY gifts that your friends and family will actually want.

Forget about DIY gifts that will be thrown out soon after they’re given. Whoever you gift these prezzies to is going to absolutely love and cherish them for years to come! Ready to get your craft on? Let’s get to it!
