Wish your friends, family, dogs, cats, fish, and whomever else a Merry Christmas with these DIY gift ideas!

It’s assumed by many that the best Christmas presents are the most expensive and luxurious items out on the market. On the contrary my dear old friend, I believe handmade gifts are truly the best ones that your friends and family won’t ever forget. From DIY soap bars to a stunning hand strung beaded bracelet, the gift ideas are endless.

All you need to do to make these gifts is get your creative juices flowing! No one knows your closest fam and bffs better than you do, so with that in mind, make them something you know they’ll love and use for a long time.

The holidays are all about spending time with your loved ones. To show them your love and appreciation, whip up some some of these creative DIY presents.

Bath and Body Relaxation Basket

You can never go wrong with giving your friends a spa day in a basket. Stock your gal pals up on their favorite scented oils, bath bombs, and soaps. There’s no better gift than giving them the supplies they need to have a relaxing afternoon. Customizing the DIY bath products with colors, scents, and packaging will make these gifts 10x more special than if you were to pick them up at the mall. Including these homemade bath bombs in a cute wicker basket with a bow on top is the best gift a girl can ask for.

Take a little trip down to your thrift store and purchase a frame, spray paint it, and put a colorful picture in there. It’s amazing how a paint job can completely transform a piece of furniture!
