I love handmade gifts!
I love to give them, I love to receive them, I love to make them.
In our home, May is a crazy month! We have Mother’s Day, our Anniversary, and not just one but 2 birthdays. Gifts are in my mind! It took me a few weeks however to put this list of handmade gifts together
The reason why is because I wanted to give you 25 amazing, cute, affordable, and easy gifts. Things that you would really want and love to give. Things that your friends, family, and neighbors would love to receive. I hope you like them as much as I do!

Wow, great list! I love making all sorts of homemade gifts and am always looking for new options. Will bookmark this!
Thats quite a collection of fantastic ideas!! Thank you!
i’ve always wanted to do the fork –> ring! Maybe Christmas will be the perfect time to do it
Thank you so much for all these cute easy handmade gifts! I have to go to a youth group christmas party in 2 weeks and I want something I can give to the girls and I think I just found a few dozen ideas for the gifts I will give them. Thanks again you are awesome !!!
Have fun creating! Thank you so much for the visit!
i love this list. my mom is a diet coke addict so i made her that keychain for christmas. i couldnt find any dimensional magic mod podge, so i used the gloss and sparkle mod podges instead, alternating for each coat. but in the end it feels really fragile and i worry about it hanging from her purse or keys. any thoughts? does the dimensional magic give it extra strength that normal mod podge doesn’t?
Rose, Michaels has the Dimensional Magic Mod Podge… Check there.
I like the # 10 the spoon ring I cant’ get any thing to come up when I go the tutorial at throught the front door. love the web site have spent over 3 hrs.on it today .thanks for all the ideas

I really like the coke can key chain idea! All of these are great ideas. I saw an article talking about DIY gifts made from reusing things that would normally get thrown away. It shows how to make cufflinks from keyboard keys, a great guy gift! You can check out some of these eco-DIY gifts here: http://cashforelectronicscrapusa.com/computer-scrap-gift-guide
