Inexpensive Handmade Christmas Gifts

How many of us at Christmas time end up spending a fortune on gifts for friends and family, which are not the least bit personal, and we end up regreting it afterwards? These days we often get caught up in the rush of the holiday season to spend more on gifts, when in fact we could spend less money giving great presents if we applied ourselves to hand making them. Here today I will bring you a lovely selection of ideas that are quite easy and affordable.

1. Collect and make recipe books. Find recipes in magazines or on the Internet. Copy them on the computer and print out on stationary . A office supply store can bind it together for you for about $5 or $10 dollars.

2.Handmade Mixes. Find good mix recipes for seasonings, cookies, cakes, etc… and give the instructions to the recipient.

3.Bath Salts. Fill a lovely jar with bath scented bath salts, then add some decorative ribbon aroud the jar to make it festive.

5. Gourmet Gift Basket. Fill a wicker basket with gourmet cheeses, crackers, wine, sausages, mustard, chocolate, etc….. you’ll leave a lasting impression!

6. Christmas Ornaments. You can make them, or purchase them on sale, women love new ornaments to hang on their trees.
