Goddess Wig (Natural Red) Deluxe Adult Halloween Costume Accessory

If you're short on cash this Christmas, consider making your own gifts for the people you care about. They'll surely appreciate the extra thought and time put into their gift and you'll have fun making them with your own hands instead of a store bought present that holds no special meaning.

Christmas Card Place Mats

Hopefully you'll have saved all of your Christmas cards from years past as there are several uses for the often beautiful pieces of artwork we send to each other during the holiday season. One of these easy ideas is making unique place mats for your Christmas table that guests can take home with them to remind them of the day. You'll need to laminate your creations so they're useable at the table, but this is a rather inexpensive way to make a lasting, thoughtful gift.

Food In a Jar

Fill an empty jar with all of the dry ingredients to make food items such as soups, cookies, or hot chocolate and decorate with Christmas ribbons along with a sprig of holly before presenting your gift. Type up or neatly write the complete directions and attach to a gift tag you can make from wrapping paper or card stock and embellished with craft supplies or simple ribbon.

Homemade Coupons

Think of all the ways you are able to help other people, whether it be running errands, cleaning, cooking, or whatever it is you can do to make someone's day a little easier or brighter and create "coupons" for them to redeem as they wish. For your spouse, include things like a relaxing massage after a hard day's work, their favorite meal or candlelit dinner, and adorn the coupons with ribbons or lace or whatever you can find for a decorative touch.

Making Gift Tags

Don't waste money on buying gift tags for any of your presents this year as you can use leftover wrapping paper, old Christmas cards and a few scrapbook supplies to create your own one-of-a-kind, personalized tags. Use scalloped scissors, paper punches, brads, ribbons, lace, and any other embellishments you can think of to make tags that you can add names to with marker, pen, or glittery glue.
