Real pressed flowers and leaves can make beautiful adornments to your Christmas cards and greetings and the gift-wrap. You can paint them in any color including silver and gold.
This romantic gift is made by taking a small jar with lid and filling it up with anything that is meaningful to you and your partner. You could type up memories, love quotes, reasons you love them, etc. etc. and cut out the strips for them to pull out and read. You could also fill it up with small little trinkets that have meaning or even small photos.
Homemade books are not actually that hard to make! All you need is some heavy weight paper, such as cardstock, and binder rings. Punch holes in the paper and then attach the binder rings. It’s up to you what you put inside your book – you can write your love story or fill it with poems or dedicate a page to something you love about your partner or a funny memory you have together.
Gift baskets are easy to put together and can often be done inexpensively with small items.
Coupons make for great easy to make gifts that won’t cost anything besides your time! You can make your own or use your computer and printer. Your coupons can be anything from “redeem for 1 back rub” to “I’ll take out the trash for you”. Anything you know your partner will appreciate makes for a great coupon!
Make Christmas candles and Christmas crackers as suggested in the Christmas crafts section. They are appropriate for holiday season and match the theme of Christmas too.
The best handmade Gift on Christmas would be a Christmas tree decorated with beautiful tinkling lights and bells on your own. It is very easy yet very apt gift on the occasion of Christmas!
make a tie blanket…but make sure its big enough to fit both of you!
make a photo album/scrapbook. Include things that have to do with your relationship, or things you both love.(pictures of where you met/first date etc)
1) Bake them cookies or other treats, put them on a Christmas-y paper plate you decorated and wrap them in festive-colored plastic wrap or a decorated paper or plastic bag.
2) Make them something else homemade, like lip balm:
- 1/4 cup and 2 tablespoons of sweet almond oil.
- 4 tablespoons of grated beeswax.
- 1 tablespoon honey.
- 6 capsules pure vitamin E oil.
- 1/4 teaspoon cocoa butter.
- 2/3 drops essential oil (peppermint or sweet birch are nice.)
Just mix all the stuff together and scoop the goop into some 1/2 ounce tins which you can buy at a craft or dollar store.
I know you’d probably have to buy these ingredients, but they’re not too expensive and it’s nice to have something so clever and also made by you!
3) Make those silly little “coupon books” with handwritten tickets for shoulder rubs or cups of coffee or offers to run errands for them. It’s kind of a silly idea, but you can make it sweet if you personalize them with inside jokes, drawings or photos.
