Christmas Gift Present Ideas

Despite careful planning and sometimes months of Christmas shopping, at least once, every gift giver inevitably finds herself scrambling to pull together a meaningful gift for a friend or relative at the last minute.

Homemade Christmas Gift Ideas A great gift for Christmas can be crafted at home with a little imagination and a few craft supplies. Consider the personalized Christmas gift ideas below in a pinch.

Easy Last-Minute Present to Make at Home – Printable Coupon Booklet Gift for Christmas Instead of giving a tangible gift, consider giving a loved one the gift of time or attention. Printable coupon booklets are inexpensive and only limited to the imagination. Depending on the recipient, consider giving coupons for hugs, a date night, breakfast in bed, or ball tossing sessions. Also, consider coupons for errands like taking out the trash or vacuuming.

Personalized Gift Idea for Christmas – Photo in Custom Picture Frame Find an existing family photo and choose a plain picture frame from somewhere in the house. Customize the picture frame by painting a message on the edge of the frame to coordinate with the photo. For example, write “Summertime” for a beach photo or simply “Me & Grandma.” This homemade Christmas gift would work especially well for a parent or grandparent who would truly cherish a photo of a child or grandchild. However, this easy last-minute present could work equally as well for a best friend or sister.

Last-Minute Christmas Present Idea for Mom, Aunt, Sister – Scrapbook Page Kit Need a gift for a scrap booker in the family? One easy last-minute present to make at home for this person is a scrapbook page kit. This would require memorabilia from a recent trip or event (think: concert tickets, park admission tickets, brochures). One or more photos would be nice, as would homemade embellishments. Use craft supplies on hand to create cutouts, glittery letters, and unique paper scraps. Also consider contributing journaling ideas. Just write down what you can remember about the trip or event and include that in the package.

Don’t Want to Make a Homemade Christmas Gift? Be Sneaky with Holiday Gifts To be sneaky, consider ordering a bulky Christmas gift online for a visiting relative, then have it delivered directly to his or her home. Write the name of the gift in a card and explain that the present is being delivered to save the relative the hassle of lugging the present back home.
