Giving Handmade Without Overwhelm

Making a bunch of handmade gifts can be just as stressful as trying to buy gifts in stores or online – choose wisely.

Choose what to make – don’t pick a new craft, for example pick something you can do easily and efficiently. This is not necessarily the time to learn how to knit or crochet if you’ve never done it before.

Choose who gets gifts. Honestly, decide early and talk to family and friends. Choose not to exchange gifts if at all possible. This isn’t about being stingy with time or money but rather about avoiding waste or sending more items to thrift shops or worse landfills.

For example, I don’t personally need or want much. I ask people to not give me gifts. Let’s all just have a meal together instead. This works most of the time and is honestly a relief for most people to hear.

When deciding on making homemade gifts. Do them in batches. Making ten jars of bath salts won’t take that much more time than making one. If you can knit or crochet quickly, choose to make hats for everyone in various colors, for example.

How to Give Cozy Gifts

Keep it simple. Tuck homemade gifts into baskets and boxes to mailed. Wrap simply to prevent waste, protect the environment and your budget.

Package them up with several items. Pair the coffee cozy with a purchased travel coffee mug and some homemade cocoa mix, as an example.

If you’re mailing a box, don’t forget to tuck in some food gifts that ship well, too!

  1. Thank you for including my fingerless gloves. Funny story. Today, I found a pair of gloves that I was knitting in 2012. I finished one glove except for the thumb. And glove number two was ready to start. It’s now on my list for this month.

  2. I’m using up leftover yarn to make the fingerless gloves for presents. I thought the pattern looked familiar and realized it was from the Joybilee Farm that I also follow! Easy instructions-thanks!
