Very Last Minute Christmas Gift Ideas
The post that forgot to be posted. This is so weird, because I could swear I hit the publish button on this post, but here it is just sitting here - not posting and in draft format. I actually remember posting, and I was even going to wait and see it show up on the today.com category page in all it’s cute glory (because of the cute photo I included). How did it not go up? Well, even though it is several days late at this point, I did just find it and here it is:
I know that this blog is a clutter control blog, but most of you also know I am a crafter. After browsing blogs all weekend and then again this morning, I decided I wanted to offer you some cute ideas for Christmas that I have seen on others blogs. So, if you are still in need of a last minute Christmas gift idea, check out:
Crafting at the Creek who showed us the most adorable little terra cotta pot idea. I can see that same idea working for baked goods, mixes, crafts, toys and much more. It would even work for older children - jewelry, gift cards, etc. SO CUTE!
Family Fun (which is not a blog, but deserved a place) has a really cute idea for a No Sew Pillow that would take a couple of hours to make, perhaps less. They are cute and are the perfect gift for anyone. You can change out the fabric for the person you are doing it for. I’m making one for each of my kids but using two different fabrics (one with something they enjoy and one that is really soft).
Reflections on Life has some beautiful decorated notebooks that she made as teacher’s gifts, but could be adapted to fit anyone. They are absolutely gorgeous.
Deliciously Dirty is full of great ideas for things you might wish to make at home. They aren’t actual “crafts” though those of us who love to cook consider baking and cooking a craft or art. Talk about some serious chocolate going on at that page.
The Best of DIY has TONS of ideas for handmade last minute Christmas gifts. You can pretty much take your pick from what is offered and if you choose wisely, you will probably find something you can do in a day or so.
