Easy DIY Christmas Presents: It’s the thought that counts.
That holds true sometimes. It doesn’t hold true when you’re giving away $10 gift cards to CVS, though.
It does count when you’re giving someone something that they can tell obviously took time and required a little bit of money.
It’s a fine line; so, we spent the time hunting down the right DIY Christmas gift ideas on a budget.

Nobody is going to reject a foot scrub.
Absolutely nobody is going to reject a peppermint one.
Why?
Everybody loves foot scrubs.
Everybody loves peppermint.
Put those things together and you have a magical gift.
Also it’s a nice touch if you can add a pretty label to it.

It gets cold in the Winter, you know this.
I used to not mind cold days because I had heat and a carpet. Now that I have hardwood floors I didn’t really understand how cold it was in December!
I have to wear slippers around the house to make sure I don’t get frostbite so I might gift myself these cozy slippers.

There’s just something about burlap that makes you think “wow, they put some work into this.”
What’s beautiful about this gift is that you get to decide what to put into it. Combine it with some of the other gifts on this list and this might go down as the greatest holiday season ever.
4. DIY Terrarium Gift Kit

Whenever someone sees my terrariums they ask how I made them. While they aren’t that hard to make they do require supplies and let’s be honest, most people don’t want to go hunting for the supplies.
You can save them a lot of time but putting all of the supplies they need in a jar and leave the creation of the terrarium up to them.
This might be my favorite gift on the list.
5. Chocolate Chip & Oatmeal Quick Bread Mix Jar

Quick bread is exactly what it sounds like. It’s a quick way to make bread and this jar is awesome in the fact that it provides you with all of the ingredients that you need.
Some people might not even bother making the quick bread due to the fact that the ingredients look so beautiful put together in a jar.
Makes me want to go out and find other items like this.
6. Hot Chocolate Mix in a Jar

Well look it here! I found one already.
This is similar to the quick bread jar above but this one is for hot chocolate. Now that I think about it, it would be great to give both of these gifts to someone.
They can make the bread and the hot chocolate and sit by the fireplace thinking about how wonderful of a person you are for creating such awesome gifts.
7. Tea Cup Candle

So far it seems like everything on this list is something that people can’t reject.
Candles are no different.
Nobody is going to turn away a great smelling candle! Put it in a nice tea cup and you have something unique that people will cherish for years.
8. Whole Wheat Cranberry Orange Muffin Mix Baggies

People are going to get suspicious and think that all you want them to do is cook for you when you give them another ingredient mixer.
While this one isn’t as stunning as the ingredient jars above, it doesn’t mean it’s less awesome.
People love muffins but never think about making them. With this gift, they have no excuses!
9. Snow Globe Cookie Jar

My favorite gift on this list due to its uniqueness.
It requires a bit more work than the others by wow does it have visual impact.
10. DIY Mint Sugar Scrub

If you’re going to give someone the foot scrub you might as well combine it with this sugar scrub. I would take this as a gift all day long.
Sugar + Mint + Healthy Skin = Win Win Win.
11. DIY Handwarmers
