    13 Easy Homemade Christmas Gifts to Try This Season

    by Patti Estep · Nov 9, 2020

    Hand with lotion bar above flowers and a text overlay about 13 handmade gifts for the holidays.

    Enjoy this list of 13 easy homemade Christmas gifts to make for your friends and family this holiday season. Natural bath and body products, home fragrances, and personal items made by hand for a special thank you or gift of love.

    Four images in a square. A hand holding a lotion bar, a mug with a cozy, tins of solid perfume and a jar of shower steamers.

    I'm big on making and giving homemade Christmas gifts. Whether it's a little thank you gift to the people who help us with everyday life. Or a more loving gift to those closest to you, I think handmade gifts are a good way to show how much you care.

    In the past, I've shared 27 Handmade Holiday gifts that include my projects as well as some from other bloggers. I also shared 9 Homemade Spice Mixes for the foodies on your list.

    Today I have 13 more gift ideas. They range from personal gifts to home fragrance and natural bath and body products.

    I hope you give one or more a try. And I hope that they inspire you to create your own handmade gifts this year.

    13 Homemade Christmas Gifts

    Have fun making these handmade gifts for everyone on your list this holiday season.

    Personal gifts, scents for the home, and natural skincare are just some of the inexpensive easy to make gifts you can create for family, friends, and more.
