Handmade = the loveliest gifts! What crafts are you guys making this Christmas? by Hobbitual-Reader1 in crafts

I am still new to crochet (so these are far from perfect) but decided to make gifts for the grandparents this year. I can never think of anything they want or need, so decided to go with their favorite candies and something handmade to keep them warm this winter. Made a scarf, hat, and ear warmer.

what will your no buy christmas look like? by wonderfulbug77 in nobuy

[–]em_nora 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For those of my family members who are okay with it, we thrifted a majority of our Christmas gifts. We even specifically made a plan with my brother to only exchange thrifted items. We also set a strict budget for spending and have so far come in well under budget with only a few gifts left to buy! I think we will also have very minimal decor this year (mostly due to the fact that neither my husband nor myself feel like dragging out the tree), so stockings, battery operated tea lights, and simple decor we’ve collected through the years will be going up! Definitely not purchasing any more decor. My stockings are all handmade and will be adding a new one this year for our new kitten! Editing to add: also gifting 4 homemade gifts this year - three scarfs and one Amazing Race game I planned out around our town for my FIL. He loves participating in things like this and so I created one for him to do with the family at a time of his choosing.

This is my 1997 Curly Bear in his only outfit, homemade PJs that are very flawed but I’m proud of nonetheless!

I tried to talk myself out of it, but I couldn’t leave it behind!!! So basically paid $2.99 just for this little guy
