9 DIY Secret Santa Gifts That Even A Non-Crafty Person Can Create
Christmas is a time of giving, but with the length of your gifting list, things can get a bit pricey and overwhelming. And when you add a Secret Santa exchange or two to the mix, things get even pricer and more overwhelming. Though there's no real way to cut down on the stress, you can cut down on the cost but creating DIY secret Santa gifts.
This option will not only save money but add a few doses of personality to your gift. As an avid DIY-er myself, I've been making my own Christmas gifts for several years and I can say from experience that the appreciation for a handmade gift is tangible. Though Secret Santa exchanges are often stressful and not as much fun as they're meant to be, making your own gifts will ensure that the recipient will feel the love behind your gift and you'll feel pretty darn accomplished after it's all said and done.
If you're looking for some do-it-yourself gifting inspiration, look no further. This gift guide has nine different gift ideas from craft bloggers from all around the internet. There is something for Secret Santas of all ages and tastes with instructions that are easy to follow and are sure to be a hit.
