50 Homemade gifts

By Stacy, Contributing Writer

I’ve always thought that homemade gifts bring a sense of love and care with them.

Knowing that someone took the time to create something with their own hands has a way of making you feel special.

It’s also good for the gift-giver. Working hard to prepare a gift warms the soul.

It can be a little stressful, too. So, might I encourage you to choose homemade gifts that are simple?

Below I’ve listed homemade gifts that are fairly quick and easy to make.

This list is a little heavy on the natural body care; that’s because natural body care is one of the easiest things to make (and is usually well received).
