DIY Christmas Gifts Your Family Will Love

Homemade Christmas gifts are doubly fun. They are fun for you to make and fun for your family to receive.

That’s a lot of fun.

For my daughter’s birthday party when she turned 7, we rented a local fancy ice cream shop.

The kids got to make their own ice cream flavors, sample their mix-ins as they made them (probably their favorite part), and take home a pint of their flavor.

They also set up a lip gloss bar where the kids got to add flavor, color, and glitter to their creations.

The party was such a hit with the parents as well as the kids, that we want to organize our own ice cream/lip gloss party there, just for the adults!

There is something so satisfying about making your own gifts – whether it be for yourself or for others.

Picking out a fun craft you want to make, and thinking of the perfect person to gift it to.
