You will be thrilled to make and give any of these thirty DIY Gift Ideas, and the recipient will be thrilled to receive any of them. These creative homemade gifts are useful and unique and don’t scream ‘DIY!’

Full confession: I can be a bit of a snob.

Not a full-on, nose-up-in-the-air, thinking-I’m-better-than-you kind of snob; more of an I-do-appreciate-nice-things kind of snob. To that end, I like giving my friends and family nice things at gift-giving times.

I get the whole ‘it’s the thought that counts’ thing, but at the same time that I’m thinking of what to gift someone, I like to go just the extra little mile to make sure that the gift I give is one that they would want and use. I am sensitive to giving gifts that just end up as clutter, and ain’t nobody got the room for that! And if I can MAKE a useful and appreciated handcrafted gift, all the better!

Giving handmade gifts imparts a little of the love that made it along with the gift.

I’ve rounded up some fun, useful, and lovely DIY Gift Ideas that you could start on now to get a jump on your holiday gifting.

Fabric Poppy Seed heads

Last year, I had a blast creating a bunch of fabric poppy seed heads for my friends, tailoring each poppy's colour to match their decor tastes. This fun and easy craft was a hit, with each friend cherishing the thoughtful, personalized touch I added to their homes.
