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!
