Are you making your christmas gifts this year or buying them

[Aalina]

When Christmas is about to come surely most of us already know the presents we want. It is easy to make a present if the person tells you, what he wants.

Christmas gifts shopping should be taken seriously these days. Spending money randomly without a plan will most likely cause a big chaos.

There are lots of reasons why creating your own Christmas gifts and stationary makes sense.

I made some and bought some. I don't feel like I have to make all, I only do it if I have a good idea and I feelt that it's fun.

I made my neice and one of my best friends a jewelry holder out of a wooden silverware thing. I put wooden knobs in the long spaces and then we screwed hooks in the bottom space and also half way down the big spaces. My neices I painted the outside pink and the spaces different colors. My best friends I just left it woody. I do believe this might be my go to gift when I know people have a lot of jewelry and i'm not sure what else to give them.

Christmas gifts are memorable and traditional. They are special in many ways and kids especially look forward to Christmas presents.

I'm making most of them or buying handmade. The only people I'm not doing that for are my niece and nephew ages 13 and 15. I just don't think they'd appreciate it so they are getting gift cards.

I am doing mostly things like handbags, necklaces and placemats. My favorite gift that I can't wait to give is a purse for my MIL made out of vintage fabric she gave me from when they were stationed in Liberia in the 70's. She had about 5 yards of it and was pretty sure it was hand dyed/batiked. I lined it with the remnants of a skirt she gave me from the same era that I had to shorten because it was much too long. She's the emotional type so I'm expecting waterworks. Maybe I should make a handkerchief to put in there...

For my daughter we bought a lot of stuff, though they are the really good educational wood toys that hold up to several years of playing. I'm making some doll clothes for her Pansy doll...though I'm going to have to wing it because I don't think Daisy Kingdom still makes patterns for her anymore.

Sister is getting a tie skirt for christmas. I made one way back in highschool before the tie craze and she took it out of my closet and wore it more than I did! This one is well made whereas the other one disintigrated sometime last year. For her birthday (two days after christmas) I think I'll cheat and give her a WholeFoods giftcard, since she did ask for those anyway. I'll probably put it in a handmade purse.

Sister in law is getting either a purse or a scrub top, depending on where time goes and if I can get my tail off the computer!

DH is taken care of. We decided not to trade gifts this year since we purchased some bigger items over the course of the year. He bought a new camera (even though it was to replace one that was stolen from us shortly after we moved here) and I bought a totally materialistic and unwarranted but very nice handbag. It was a rough year and it was totally retail therapy but I don't have buyers remorse! We also just got a TV since our 15 year old dinosaur died. If we didn't, that netflix subscription would be wasted! So yeah, no gift swapping this year, but we won't notice because BOTH sets of parents/family are coming for the holidays. We are bonafide insane.

Nice dear.
