Christmas is less than a month away, and this is the time
when we are feverishly looking around for gifts to give our friends and family.
Not just in the gifting aspect, but in many other ways, DIY can make our
festive occasions more budget friendly as well as more personalized. Here are
some great ideas for Christmas that you can do yourselves:
Christmas Tree: Pinterest has
some lovely ideas for DIY trees for this Christmas. From smaller crochet ones
to bigger ones made of cardboard, you can try them in whichever size you like.
Even your kids will love contributing to this project, and you can plan
Christmas tree based décor pieces throughout your home in this season. I also
especially love this
one made from books.
Make your own gifts
and tree ornaments: Do you remember when you were looking for that special
something for a friend or relative, and just couldn’t find what you want in any
store? You can try out whatever you are comfortable with, like home baked
goodies, or lovey handcrafted items such as monogrammed tableware. This is
another DIY project the kids will love to take part in.

Fresh produce: If
you have a kitchen garden, plant in such a way that you can harvest a lot of
stuff around the festive season. Can you imagine the reaction of a dear friend
when he receives an organic homegrown pasta ingredients basket? You can get
very creative with this, from choosing the right basket to planning the list of
ingredients that are easy to grow.
Family cards:
This is one idea that many of us might have already tried out, but just in case
you haven’t thought of it yet, this is a great way for family especially
grandparents to keep a record of how kids have grown up over the years. You can
print them out yourself if you have a photo printer, or else use a nearby store
just for that last step.
DIY kindnesses:
If you have any elderly relatives who don’t have help around the house, the
best gift you can give them would be to go over before the holidays and help
them with their pending tasks like hanging up a favourite photo or just assist
in the cleaning chores. Take along your gadgets and appliances for the task,
and it can be a breeze!
Hope this list gives you some good ideas, and one or two of
them ignite a spark in your minds. Happy DIYing!
