DIY gift ideas

Birthdays, Holidays or just because – a DIY gift always means so much more!  Be inspired by over 20 DIY gift ideas to fit any budget or skill level, as seen on TIDBITS.

 Over 20 Holiday gift ideas

I had such a blast exploring and sharing ideas for my “HANDMADE HOLIDAYS” blog series, and wanted to round them all up for you here to give you a better idea of all the fun DIY gifts you can make to delight anyone.

I’ve also dug through my archives to find long time favorites to add to the list that will surely keep growing!  My husband and I have enthusiastically been making gifts for our family and friends since we were newlyweds, and find so much joy in gifting something they cannot just go and buy in the store.

I hope you find just what you are looking for to make for that special someone!

OVER 20 DIY GIFT IDEAS

ALL NATURAL BATH BOMBS

Bath bombs are surprisingly easy to make, and so much better for you than ones found at the store full of artificial fragrance and dye.  Kids and adults alike will truly enjoy this special gift.  We love to hide little surprised in the middle for kiddos!

DIY All Natural Bath Bombs and FREE printable gift tags.

PERSONALIZED ETCHED GLASS WATER BOTTLES

I claimed this gift to be the perfect gift for anyone on your list!  He, she, big or little, they will love it!  Make a personalized set for a whole family and they will thank you for it!

Gather your favorite essential oil blends and create a cute bottle of room spray.  I love to keep one in our car and in each bedroom to spritz on bedding.

PURE VANILLA EXTRACT WITH FREE PRINTABLE LABELS

I teamed up with my sister to provide a package deal kind of gift.  She will show you how to make pure vanilla extract even if you forgot to start it 6 months ago!  With the Instant Pot you can have instant, flavorful vanilla extract!  So amazing!  She has provided all the combinations you can imagine, and I have all the printables you will need.

Free printable Vanilla Extract labels + 6 more extract flavors! Square or Circle available.

If you want to get really fancy with your extracts, we went overboard on flavors and style.
