Handmade Christmas Gift Ideas - 24 Quick, Easy, Cheap Projects

Tonight we have a bonanza of gift ideas in the ongoing series of handmade Christmas gift ideas (9/21 through 12/24). I discovered Laurie, the Tip Junkie.

At this link, you'll get two dozen quick and easy cheap gift ideas.

Basically, she explains what the gift can be and then provides a printable file for the tag or card to go with the gift. The saying on the printable is what makes the gift so special.
I won't spoil it by telling you what the tags say for the photos here. But be prepared to spend a long while at her website for many other projects.

For these gift ideas, you can download a file with all 24 tags/cards to go with all the gift ideas shown on this linked page. At least half a dozen of these make wonderful, easy, and if you include her words, very thoughtful gifts.

The ideas in the photos are definitely on my do-it list for this coming season's gifts.

These are NOT gag gifts. These are nice products that you give as gifts but with the added touch of a cute saying on the tag you can print from her file.

For other projects in my series, just look along the right sidebar for the label "Christmas Gift Projects." I hope to post only tips that do not require knitting, crocheting, machine sewing, tatting, embroidery, or any other skilled technique.

Don't forget to enter my giveaway (deadline Oct 31) for $25 in handcrafted merchandise from my Etsy store.

It's fun finding these, Carolyn. Some are decorations but most are meant for us to have some easy and, often, quick, ways to whip something up for gifts this coming season. I hope to set up a page where they will all be listed and it will be easy to select the links from that page...soon (sigh).
