I love making gifts. I love to try new crafty ideas and make personalized presents that are special yet frugal. I think I could spend hours each week doing this if given the time!
In case you'd like an idea for a homemade gift, here's a roundup of the gift ideas I've posted before.
For children:
Go-Fish Game
Bead Socks
Ribbon Socks (see the cute show-and-tell here)
Toddler Pillowcases
Hair Bows
Ribbon Sticks
Photo Stickers
Personalized Onesie and Burp Cloth Sets
Leather Shoes
Try making a set of bead and ribbon socks for a little girl; or make ribbon socks and coordinating hair bows.
And how about giving memory verses to kids? Tuck them into a basket of gifts, or include them with a children's Bible.
Don't forget about personalized books--we've made a Bible ABC book and a Peek-a-Bia! book. Here's a link to blank board books.
For adults:
Apron in an Hour
Fancy Notebooks (this could be for kids, too)
Foam Soap (We gave peppermint-scented foam soap as Christmas gifts)
How about a poem written by yourself or a family member, printed on pretty paper and framed?
For canine friends:
Homemade Dog Biscuits
If you make any of these, I'd love to hear about it! Please share any new craft ideas you have, too!

Whew! All kinds of great links :) Thanks for sharing them.
The apron you just made is A-dorable! Green and brown are some of my favorite colors.
oh those pink socks in the middle are really sweet!!
Hmm. I'll have 2 try some of those. Usually my crafts look terrible though.
Come on now, where are the gifts you can make for the man in your life? You know, things like ammo, knives, and other cool stuff. A friend made me a hunting knife once. Sadly I lost it, but at least I was hunting when I lost it!
Toytrkman,
Great idea! Unfortunately, I don't know how to make those things. Guess I'll have to learn!
Hmmm. . .maybe I could reload some ammo for him?
Great story about the hunting knife!
