It's that time of the year where family comes together to celebrate Christmas. It's also a time to give and receive gifts.
If you are running a bit low on cash or just looking at making DIY gifts, here are 7 fantastic Christmas ideas which are sure to impress.
Decorated mug
We all love a good cup of tea or coffee in the morning. So why not spoil your loved ones with a beautifully decorated mug custom made for them?
All you need is a plain mug and oil-based sharpies or markers. You can draw anything you like on the mug or write a special message. Remember to be as creative as possible. Then bake the mug at 350 degrees for 30 minutes to set the design into the mug.
Personalised message jars
Message jars are not costly and can be used as space savers. Depending on who the gift is for, you can fill the jar with goodies that your recipient will love. This can be food, like biscuits or sweets, or even make-up goodies.
All you need is an empty jar and stickers to stick on the glass and write a personal message, and the goodies you plan on placing inside.
Jewellery/Accessory Organisers
Wow your loved one with a jewellery or accessory organiser.
Not only does a jewellery organiser help keep jewellery in place and in order, but they can also work as a decorative display in your room.
Personalised photo frame
Photo frames are a great gift, but you can make them even more special with a personal message.
A great way to add a personal message is to use scrabble tiles. The below video will show you how to do it.
Custom made day-planner
Day-planners are perfect for any professional or individual with busy schedules.
It’s a great gift that any recipient will appreciate. Have some fun with this project and get creative with your design.
Hand-painted garden pot
Garden pots are perfect for anyone interested in gardening or who enjoys spending time in their outside space like yards or patios.

Painted t-shirt
