Who for ?
Some homemade gifts would be inappropriate for some ages.
Such as flavoured vodka.

I have made flavoured vodka this year which I was going to give to my friends for Xmas!
Generally for my nan, parents and friends really! I don't have to buy for any kids which is quite good lol!!

Depends who it's for.
This is my 1st year home-making gifts also. The candy cane sleighs are pretty straight forward and are great for kids. ALthough my niece and nephews came to visit last night and announced they want one now lol. They're 16, 17, 22 and 23 lol

That's funny, I have been looking lots on Pinterest and find loads of ideas, but I'm not sure I can do them, I don't want to spend money on craft stuff an then find out it waste of time because I couldn't do it lol!!

Honestly they are so easy to make. I'm not a crafty person in the slightest, so if I was able to do it then you can lol. All I needed was double sided sticky tape and a bit of wool to decorate/tie together

Hampers and mini hampers are a good idea. Semi-homemade in my eyes.

ETA I also look on Pinerest, but to be honest unless you have most of the things needed already, some of them can become very expensive.

I've found a long thin Christmas tray in Home Bargains and I am going to make a small Christmas cake, some homemade after eight mints and a mug with snowman soup, to wrap up and give on the tray.

I usually do something similar, record bowls, fabric hearts (easy even if you cant sew very well), chocolate stirrers, retro sweet hamper, sugar scrub, chocolate bark. All very easy things to make. Let me know if you need any more info on any I've listed. HTH

Thanks for adding the link OMO. My cousin is very into music, bands etc and the record bowls were perfect for her. These are the fabric hearts I did, just from fabric samples I got for free.....
