We’re talking exhausted, frantic shoppers and people complaining about coupons that have long expired. We’re talking long lines, and chaotic stores that look more like scenes from an apocalyptic movie. We’re talking racing to the store only to discover that the item we wanted is sold out. We’re skeptical of any people who say they actually like holiday gift shopping. So what are we to do when we still need a few presents? Get our DIY on (which we can do in the comfort of our pajamas).
There are a whole slew of easy, last-minute homemade gifts that a person can throw together ASAP; all these ideas are just hiding under our noses! And dare I say it, we may even have a bundle of fun in the process. Plus, DIY gifts are perfect to make in large batches, and for if we totally forget about someone’s gift and don’t want to brave the mess of a store we mentioned above.
Check out our 20 last-minute holiday gifts folks can make themselves, here. (Fair warning: One might just discover a new beloved hobby in the process.)

DIY gifts are inherently one-of-a-kind, and putting that personalized touch on something can really outshine any store-bought gift. No matter how simple or small the DIY gift is, it shows just how much effort and time we put in to create something for someone else! Sorry, but Macy’s doesn’t have that in stock.
Let’s all think back to some of our most prized possessions. We bet at least one of the items has sentimental value, such as the blanket that Grandma knitted for us when we were a baby. Point proven.
The gift-maker also totally benefits from making homemade gifts. Instead of spending tons of money in the hectic stores, or crossing our fingers that a shipment arrives in time, we can spend quality time with our kids or other loved ones crafting the gifts together. (Also, assembly lines are very efficient, so that’s another reason to round up the kids.)
