I'm always in search of new low-cost homemade Xmas gifts for friends and family. What are you guys planning this year?
Liam and I have started a tradition of making homemade ornaments as gifts each year. This year, we have some seashells from our trip to the beach, so I think we are going to make seashell ornaments like these:
Also, because Liam loves hot sauce, we're going to make "Liam's Homemade Hot Sauce" and bottle it up with some cute labels.

I want to make handprint ornaments for the grandparents like this..
I might paint them like Santa, like this:
I'm making a few things for my family. My mom always burns jar candles, so I'm making her a jar candle holder with a match stick jar. I bought a plain wooden box at AC Moore and am mod-podging a design on it for my niece as a jewelry/trinket box.
Then I want to make several ornaments with Caleb, mostly for our tree but also as gifts. This is my favorite one! There are hints on how-to in this blog.
And totally random - but I think I'm doing this for my dad. He needs absolutely nothing & doens't really have any hobbies, so he's hard to shop for. I think he'll get a kick out of it.
