Can you believe that we are already two months away from Christmas?
I can’t believe it either and I haven’t got a clue what I am going to give my loved ones. I am known as the person in my family who gives these thoughtful presents that I believe my friends and family have been waiting all their lives to receive.

I don’t know why you might want to make DIY Christmas gifts but I know that giving DIY gifts for Christmas can give you more options than just going to the store.
Making a Christmas present for someone in your life means you truly took the time and thought of them and made that extra effort just for them.

DIY Christmas Gifts for Him
DIY Christmas gifts for him really come down to What Could He Use?
In my opinion all men could use something but they don’t know exactly what it is. Maybe he is creative but his home or room décor doesn’t showcase that. Maybe he’s someone who doesn’t keep himself together or know the right products to use.
Help him to smell good, pull his look together or make it easier to find things but definitely give him something that will help him in some way.

DIY Christmas Gifts for Teens
I have a niece and when she was a teenager it seemed like her tastes were constantly changing. The weird thing is when she looks back at her teen years and comments on the gift she loved the best it was the doll I bought from the store and then made it look like her. She’s 26 and I gave her that present when she was 13 or so.
A lot of times teens claim to want all these extravagant or cool things but most of the time they really just want something they feel is special which makes them feel special.

DIY Christmas Gifts for Kids
DIY Christmas gifts for kids is probably the best kind of gift that you can give a kid. For the most part kids don’t know how much you spent on something, where it came from and how much time it took to make or find.
And this is the one group that making cheap DIY Christmas gifts truly works.
My little niece wants nothing more than to sit down on the floor with me and make a picture. She’s constantly asking me how the picture should look or what color it should be. Several years ago I took clothes that I was going to donate and found some doll clothes patterns online and sewed up doll clothes for her. I will say making doll clothes isn’t the easiest because of how small the bodies are.

DIY Christmas Gifts for Mom
Pretty much all moms love pictures, jewelry of some sort and mugs. When I was in my teens I used to love to go to the church bazaar and get my mother presents there. I didn’t make those presents myself but they had a look like I did. Last Christmas my niece got the DIY bug and she found a huge wooden initial to represent our last name and painted it.
Making DIY Christmas gifts for your mom really depends on your age. When you are younger you give your mom very crafty things. In your teens writing your mom a poem or giving her a personal story could be an amazing gift. Once you are an adult think of something you mom can truly use.

DIY Christmas Gifts for Dad
Making a DIY Christmas gifts for dad are usually a bit different then what you will give your mom. In my opinion dad’s always seem to be a bit more comical in what they appreciate as presents. A dad will happily display his BEST DAD mug/shirt/keychain/hat or whatever he is given. From what I’ve noticed dads just want to feel included because most kids make things for mom.
My dad was good for loving the cheesy presents, granted that was in the 80s! One of my friends daughters recently gave her father a DIY poster in a picture frame where she wrote all of these things she loved about her father on it. It’s one of the sweetest presents that I’ve ever seen and it didn’t cost her a lot of money to make.

DIY Christmas Gifts for Grandparents
Grandparents are so sweet! I feel like as a grandchild you can give your grandparent, especially grandmother almost anything and they will love it. Gifts made by a grandchild in school are usually some of the most treasured things by grandparents. My grandmothers decorated their Christmas trees with those little popcicle stick reindeer that I made in elementary school and it kept showing up on the trees into my early 20’s.
10 years ago I even decided to make my grandmothers a “family tree” picture collage with their children and grandchildren. DIY Christmas gifts for grandparents truly just need to come from the heart and make them smile whenever they look at it.

DIY Christmas Gifts for Best Friends
I love to make DIY Christmas gifts for my closest group of friends. Just like with my niece I one year gave my friends all personalized dolls and 15 plus years later those friends still have those gifts. I don’t know if your best friends are anything like my friends but my closest group of friends LOVE special personalized presents.
All of them love picture frames, collages, fragrance gifts (especially candles) or anything that is a throwback to some fun memory we shared. With a best or close friend always give them a reminder that you are thinking of them, even if its a DIY cookbook of their favorite recipes that you put together.

DIY Christmas Gifts for Coworkers
Giving a coworker a present can really be difficult. May you ended up picking someone who is hard to figure out for the office Secret Santa exchange. Or maybe you are just a DIYer who loves to give everyone a little something.
DIY Christmas gifts for coworkers can sometimes take a bit of stealth work to see what they may like. If all else fails you can always give someone a personalized picture frame they can have at their desk or giving them an infused fragrance allows everyone around them to enjoy a great fresh smell.

DIY Christmas Gifts for Neighbors
For the most part your neighbors don’t think that they are going to get any sort of gifts from you. Growing up it always blew my mind when suddenly there was a Christmas card from a neighbor or the postman. Or there were those times where my mom made cookies with me and we ended up giving them to people I viewed as random neighbors.
Giving a gift to a neighbor, especially one that you took the time to lovingly make may not take much of your time or from your day but when you give that gift you truly have just made someone’s week or month.
If you are concerned about someone’s dietary issues then you obviously have the option to make them handmade soap or some sort of fragrance gift.

Diy Christmas Gifts for Teacher
Sadly when it comes to giving teachers presents for Christmas they a lot of times become an afterthought by the parent. Children so often decide if they want to give someone a present based on how that person makes them feel.
From what I’ve noticed of friends of mine that are teachers they look at receiving presents the same way that parents do. They feel so honored when they get something that one of their “kids” gives to them. My teacher friends keep special presents from students well in to future like a parent does. And on the flip side when a child makes something for their teacher and sees the teacher using the keychain, picture, vase or mug.
