homemade gifts

My holiday gift making and planning is underway. I try to make as many of the gifts that we give as possible, in order to save money, revolt against holiday consumerism, express creativity, and provide a personal touch. I've spent countless hours searching through books and websites looking for new gift ideas and inspiration.

Here and here I did previous posts with lists of gift ideas and links to great sites.

Here are some more that I have recently come across;

http://www.homemade-gifts-made-easy.com/free-homemade-gift-ideas-blog.html: good resource for gift ideas, wrapping ideas, and quotes for homemade cards. I like the paper bauble ornament.

http://www.uniqueholidaygiftideas.com/index.html: great ideas for homemade gifts including homemade beef jerky, chocolate covered pretzels, and homemade salsa or sauces.

http://100handmadegifts.blogspot.com/: 82 homemade gift ideas including marble magnets, wine charms, flavored vinegars, bookplates, wire star ornament, tin can luminary, sugar scrub, bath salts, grain heating pad.

What great gift ideas do you have?
