Hello my beautiful friends! In spite of what brands/stores want us to think, holiday time is not all about buying the most expensive gifts. I like to buy a few special gifts, but I also love to make something with my own hands, spending time and putting all my attention and care into what I’m making.
If you love to make your own gifts, too, you’re in luck. I’ve gathered 20 wonderful gift ideas from a selected group of talented fellow bloggers. These are gifts you can make until the very last minute, that are easy to make, require just a few ingredients/materials and that are wonderful to have on hand during the holidays for any (unexpected) guest that will pass by.

22/12/2016I always bake plenty of holiday goodies to package and give as gifts. Add the body scrub sound even more fun. Plus these are personal to what each one likes and enjoys.
