The holidays are here and for me that means lots of holiday crafting, baking, knitting, and creating. Today I wanted to share with you 36 handmade gift ideas that you can create for gifts this year. It can be a challenge to come up with great handmade gifts year after year so I hope that these 36 handmade gift ideas will give you some inspiration this holiday season as you tackle your own holiday crafts.
Of course, all month long will be dedicated to baking, crafting, and knitting as we prepare for the holidays. After this month, we will get back to tackling the organizing and caring for our homes after the holiday aftermath.
For now, I am looking forward to reveling in a lot of one on one time with my glue gun and baking in the kitchen with you.
Let’s get crafting!

I have been knitting away the Gift Card-igans for teacher gifts (I’ll put a Starbucks gift card inside!) It’s a super easy mindless project!
