Can you have too many handmade gift ideas? Never. Since one of the goals with handmade gifts (besides saving money!) is to create unique and meaningful gifts, one idea that might work for well for one person on your list might not work for someone else’s list – and so there’s a need for ideas, ideas, and more ideas. At least, I can never have too many ideas.
I gathered up ideas for ‘family’ holiday gifts here (not specifically for kids, men, or women) and then some for the kids and teens on your lists here and now I’ve put together a list of ideas that will make wonderful individual gifts for women and men. These will work for holidays as well as birthdays, so I know you’ll want to pin this (using the image above) or bookmark it to remember later!
I like to go beyond the been-there-done-that gift and see what other cool, new ideas might be out there (‘new’ is firmly tongue-in-cheek, as I realize it mostly means I just haven’t seen it before – there’s almost no completely new things, just twists on classics – which is fine in my book, too!). So I’ve grabbed the handmade gift ideas from AOC that work for women and men, did a little research to find some other amazing gift tutorials, and gathered them all in one place for you – to the tune of 40+ ideas!
