    Oh, do I have some great handmade gift ideas for you! Some of these are from our archives and others are from some incredibly talented bloggers.

    And you're going to love the fact that these gifts cover all skill levels, from the easiest crafts to slightly more involved like knitting.

    I also think that many of these handmade gifts are suitable for what I call our 'family gifts' at the holidays - one gift that is given to each family instead of individual gifts. Though really for the parents, since we do give separate gifts for the kids, when food's involved in the general gift, it truly is for everyone.

    Giving one handmade gift to a family is a great way to give simple, meaningful gifts and still stay in your budget for the holidays.

    Of course, many of these gifts would work well for anniversaries and birthdays, too, depending on the gift.

    And since they are not your average gifts, they will definitely be appreciated!
