Mum: Your Mum may have many different hobbies. So to make it easy, get her a gift basket. Combine some things from several hobbies/interests/needs/wants. Then put them in a basket, wrap up in coloured cellophane, and then clear cellophane. Put a big bow on it then Stick a card on it. Alternatively, you could go for something a little more personal, like, a photo frame. Go to a craft store and choose from a wooden frame and a plaster frame. Also, get some paints. Make sure it fits the photo. Then put a nice pattern and paint. Then put the photo in it.

Older Sister: Sisters, especially older ones, can be hard to shop for, let alone hand make gifts. You could make her a mix of her favourite songs, burn them onto a CD and then create a nice cover and give. Alternatively, you could make a photo frame and put a nice photo of the two of you. Refer to Mum/Dad for instructions and gift basket.

Younger Sister: It depends on her age. If she is a toddler maybe, make her a nice mobile for her room. If she is 6-10, you could make her a stuffed toy.

Older Brother: Unless you have a good relationship with your brother, you will have no clue. So here are some easy tips as to what to give your brother. Make a mix of his favourite songs then burn them onto a CD then create a cover and give.

Younger Brother: It depends on his age. If he is a toddler maybe, make him a nice mobile for his room. If he is 6-10, you could make him a stuffed toy.

Grandma (Mum and Dad’s side): Well if your grandma is like mine, she will love sowing. You could make your grandma’s a nice pin cushion. You cut two pieces (of different fabric) 15cm x 15cm. Then put the two good sides together and sow them leaving a gap in one side to stuff. After you sow cut the corners off and then turn the right way round. Stuff. After it is stuffed, hand sow the opening closed. Then, (this is optional) sow a button on both sides.

Grandpa (Mum and Dad’s side): Make your grandpa a nice coffee mug. Nice and easy. Buy a white mug. Paint the picture you want on it backwards on a piece of paper, then wrap around the mug and leave to dry. Alternatively, you could make him a hanky and so in his first initial in it.

Aunt: You could make your aunt a nice necklace and bracelet set. Get some nice large glass beads and put then on. To make a nice classy necklace, tie a knot where you want the center bead to stop and then thread and tie a knot where it finished. Continue this process with each side working with large beads getting smaller.

Uncle: You could make your uncle a nice bookmark if he likes reading. However, if he does not like reading you could make him a nice coffee mug. Refer to Grandpa for instructions on How to make a coffee mug.

Homemade Christmas Gifts: Scavenger Hunt

Homemade Valentines Day gifts for boyfriend !?

My boyfriend and I have been together for a year and we're going to be doing homemade valentines gifts this year since money is a little tight at the moment. I'll be able to be basics that I'll need for the crafts, but I don't want to spend a lot of money on a huge extravagant gift.

i can suggest you log onto walgreens.com and check out the mugs they have . you may add a photo or your names to it . i think this would be great and add a nice card to make it even better. if not you can try some cologne. usually not too expensive at the right places.

its really the thought that counts i learned that even celebs dont get the most expensive gifts , usually rich people have it all right? they go for origionality something personalized from the heart which makes it so special . Good Luck

It would be nice to give him a little something even as small as a gift card . eventually anything you get him will make him smile because its coming from you and you are special to him

Homemade Christmas Gifts: Memory Box

Guys, what was the best gift that you got from your girl?

I need some unique Christmas gift ideas for my man. He has really well rounded interests. Boating, riding quads, music, cooking electronics, but basically anything he wants he just buys it. He's hard to buy for because he usually tells me he wanted something after he already gets it. What I'm looking for is something he wouldn't think of but will really like.

I highly recommend this ...
