Candy Sleighs
We all know that feeling when your little one declares that he or she wants to hand out gifts to the whole class; it's adorable that they want to give, but it also spells trouble for you! These quirky candy sleighs are the perfect solution; they are cheap and easy enough to make a whole bunch in no time, and your little one can also get involved in the process so that you aren't the one doing all the work.

Multi-Strand Scarf

Edible Snow Globes
It looks like a snow globe, it shakes and snows like a snow globe, and it… tastes like a snow globe? These things are pure genius. A delicious twist on an old favorite; what more is there to say?

Book Organizer
This vintage tech travel organizer is just so damn clever! It's easy to find a cheap vintage book at a second-hand bookstore; remember, all you're looking for is one with a cool cover so it's worth spending a bit of time looking for the perfect one.

Star Paper Lantern
These star lanterns are absolutely gorgeous, and with the differing sized templates, making them shouldn't be too much a struggle. And since you're the creator, you can use any beautiful paper that you find in your favorite craft shop.

Homemade Play Dough
Sure, play dough isn't all that expensive, but if you make it yourself then you know exactly what goes in it (so that it's safe and non-toxic). Plus, you can make it smell yummy, and you can make a whole lot! Just make sure to store in an airtight container.

Paracord Bracelet
If you have an outdoorsy man in your life, perhaps you could make him this really cool paracord bracelet. It's thick and chunky without being overbearing, and if he ever finds himself in a tricky situation, he could actually use it to help build a shelter.

Chalkboard Coasters
We love this novel idea that's really affordable and easy to make – you just need time for everything to dry in between crafting. Make a nice set with your own accessories (doesn't have to be buttons) and then neatly package them as a cute and useful gift.

Custom Chalkboard
If you love the chalkboard trend as much as we do then why not make your own custom chalkboard to give away? These are great in kitchens so that people can write their grocery lists; teachers might love them too. Don't be afraid to get creative with the wooden frame part: you can paint it in a different color or even introduce a pretty pattern or design of some sort.

Gift Card
If you're giving a gift card as a pressie this year then you could make this darling Rudolph envelope to house it in. It doesn't require much time or effort, but it looks so much better than the original sleeve you get with the card. Keep it festive!

Kitchen Love
For someone who loves to spend their time cooking or baking in the kitchen, get them a lovely set of kitchen utensils that you know will be put to good use. We love the idea of keeping them together in a traditional, modern or whimsical oven glove, embellished with a neat bow.

Reindeer Beers
Sometimes, a six pack or two of your favorite beer can be the perfect present. But don't be boring about it; turn them into cute little reindeer so that the lucky receiver can still enjoy the holiday spirit while knocking back a cold one.

Christmas Crackers
What is Christmas dinner without the traditional cracker to pop? You can customize these so that the recipients actually get a little something that they would like instead of the usual silly trinkets that no one ever keeps.

Simple Clutch
Most of us women can never have enough of these little clutches; we use them as money and phone holders when dashing out to the store, as mini makeup bags in our handbags, as hair accessory holders etc. So go find a really pretty, elegant, quirky or fun fabric to make a lovely handmade zippered clutch for one of your girlfriends, mom, or daughter.

Contemporary Wrapping
When you get given a gift, obviously the first thing you notice is the wrapping, so that needs to be attractive, too. We found a really elegant and chic wrapping idea to dazzle your friends and family. The array of white, black and gold combinations will also look stunning under your tree.

Chalkboard Wrapping
Here's another fun way to wrap your gifts this year: give them the chalkboard look! The gift wrap and chalk ink markers should be available at craft stores, so now your wrapping can be as personalized as the actual gifts.
