Your friends and family would agree: The best Christmas gifts come straight from the heart. While it's easy to find personalized presents from major online retailers like Amazon Handmade and Etsy, nothing tops sticking a DIY Christmas gift under the tree. Browse through this list of homemade gift ideas to find something — winter candles, gift baskets, salt dough ornaments, and so on — for everyone on your holiday shopping list: parents, coworkers, friends, kids, grandparents, significant others, best friends, and anyone else who has a place in your heart.
Don't let your crafting skills (or lack there of) stop you: Most of these handmade gifts are extremely easy to pull off, as long as you have some patience, creativity, and love to give. Several of these ideas even call for items you already have stashed in your house, which means you won't have to shell out a ton of money (or worse, make a million separate Amazon orders) to complete these DIYs. And since we know that last-minute shoppers still want to put thought and care into the presents they give, we've included a few ideas that can be completed as late as Christmas morning. (Psst, don't forget to pair it with a homemade Christmas card!)
