Hello, everyone! Christmas is right around the corner, and it’s time to think about those gifts for your loved ones. I spent way too much time on Pinterest during my finals week searching up cute DIY crafts. BTW, on a totally random side note, is anyone else fascinated by how finals week passes by? I spend so much time dreading it and I never feel 100% ready for any of my exams, but somehow, before you know it, it’s all over–and I have no idea how I survived. But anyway, now that I’ve finally had time to compile my Pinterest findings, I hope you will find inspiration in these ideas as well! I take no credit for these pictures.
Candles: I love candles! The teacup candle idea is absolutely genius. But in general, I feel like you can get so creative with candle-making, and they’re so useful! Well…”useful” is pretty subjective, but everyone could use a pretty candle in the house! I love the pinecone decorations on the mason jar candle holders to the right. I always wonder how people think of these things.
Food Crafts: Food makes everyone happy, right? 🙂 Hot chocolate mix jars are always a winner, and the tea bag Christmas tree idea is so cute! Actually all these ideas are super cute, haha. The reindeer noses would make the perfect small gift (for classmates, students, etc.). And the hot chocolate spoons look AMAZING. I’m getting hungry while writing this!
Other: I couldn’t think of a category name for these, haha, but aren’t they so cute?! They look slightly more involved than the others, but the recipient will be VERY happy, I’m sure 🙂
What are some of your favorite DIY Christmas gift ideas? I’d love to hear! I’m thinking about doing another post featuring non-DIY gift ideas. Let me know if that’s something ya’ll would want to see. Have a great weekend!
XOXO,
Oh my goodness, I love all of these! I’m a sucker for anything chocolate and candles! I always find the cutest little DIYs on Pinterest, but tbh, they never really look like the picture when I make them. And I completely agree with you on the finals week flying by.. My finals are in January and I’m dreading them. I still have classes until a week before Christmas and it’s just aaarggg saklfjaslkfh!! But the days fly by before you know it..
Hehe yeah I know what you mean lol. But omg whattttt why would they schedule it for January that means you don’t even really have a break??

Yay! I’d love to see how it turns out 🙂
These are such cute ideas! I love the snowy pinecone decorations on the jars for the candles too! I feel you though, getting sucked into Pinterest is as easy as getting carried away whilst eating chocolate… *sighs* Since I love baking I always make holiday themed treats and hand them out depending on the holiday! (also because there’s an excuse to bake extra and eat them…haha!)
Yes omg I know Pinterest is so addicting. Once you start scrolling you can’t stop, haha. And that’s very true! I often wonder if I’m baking more for others or for myself lol 🙂
Love all of these! I’m a Pinterest addict as well and was actually planning to do some sort of Pinterest holiday post soon 🙂
Would love to see your non-DIY gift picks!
Yay looking forward to your post! 🙂
