Aspects like inflation, budget constraints and commercialism can sometimes put the brakes on Christmas gifting. But this doesn’t have to be so. If you’re tired of giving (and receiving) the usual wish list items, then why not try your hand at making a gift. It will not only be unique, it will be a piece of you! Here are some ideas to try at home.
1. Artsy Mug
Customise a plain mug and transform it into something personal. Simply use a permanent ink marker to draw on the design of your choice. Use your imagination to personalise the mug and make it a memorable gift. This is not only quick to make, it’s also inexpensive.
2. Succulents in teacups
Why not give a gift that keeps on growing? Combine the colour and size of a teacup to compliment the plant. Not only will these gifts be a breath of fresh air, they will literally live on.
3. Spa in a jar
Choose a range of luxurious pamper products, cram them in a clear jar and wrap them in a beautiful ribbon. So instead of the recipient heading to a spa for a day of pampering, it can be done in the comfort of their own home.
