We’re pretty crafty folks. My husband is an artist, and I’m a tad obsessed with knitting and getting messy with my art supplies. Lucky for us, many of our family members asked for handmade gifts this year!
Nothing says love like a handmade gift. In the spirit of upcoming holidays we’ve decided to put together a list of our favorite handmade and DIY gift ideas.

 DIY Lip Balm Kit
I love this idea so much. Give the ingredients and instructions to make your own lip balm with unique flavors. I know a lot of young ladies that would LOVE to have this gift!

 Homemade Vanilla Extract
This gift is SO incredibly easy to make, and I should know. I’m the master of starting projects and not finishing them. This homemade vanilla only takes 5 minutes of labor and the rest is just sitting around waiting for the magic to happen. Start this project now so it will be ready come Christmas time!
 Hot Chocolate in a Jar
For the sugar lovers in your life, make some of these cute hot cocoa kits! You can even make a handmade label to personalize it.

 The Super Scarf
This scarf is soooo easy, so fast, and so cozy. I knit it up in about two hours and it was a piece of cake!
 Beeswax Candles
You can never have enough candles. Never. We run out constantly and as soon as we get some more bees in the spring we’ll be looking into making our own. This post by homestead honey is exactly what you need to get started making candles!

I love your knitted scarf. It’s so vibrant. Perfect for weather like today. The thermometer is dropping rapidly and it’s snowing 1 km west of me. It will probably be here shortly.
