Magazine Subscription
This isn’t exactly a DIY gift, but these $5 Magazine Subscriptions are available for a short time and make a super easy gifts, especially for friends and family you need to mail a gift to. You can buy one copy of the magazine then roll it and tie it with a ribbon. Attach a pretty card notifying the recipient of the subscription.

Candy Cane Bath Salts
Grab a mason jar or other decorative jar and fill it with these Candy Cane Bath Salts for a relaxing gift. I even have a cute printable label for you to add to the jar.
You can add a loofah and some soft slippers to make a gift basket.
Hot Cocoa Gift Basket

Build-Your-Own Snowman Kit
This Build-Your-Own Snowman Kit is lots of fun for kids of all ages and a great gift to make in bulk to give to neighbors or friends.
This Cherry Chocolate Chip Bread is so scrumptious! If you can avoid eating it, it makes a great Christmas gift when included in a cute basket with a dish towel or some hot cocoa mix. (Click here for my DIY hot cocoa mix recipe.) You can also make it ahead of time and freeze it.
You won’t believe that these Chocolate Cream Cheese Bars are actually gluten free. Yum!
You can also use my DIY Gift Basket Tutorial to create stunning gift baskets for a fraction of what you would pay at the store.
