I know I’m not alone when I say: I love trying new crafting, baking, and decorating projects! Additionally, hand made gifts have the potential to be some of the most heartfelt and cherished to give and receive. So when deciding whether to give the DIY set, or to use the set yourself to make gifts for others… It’s really up to you! You can consider whether the receiver is likely to have enough time or motivation to do the kit themselves, (in the case of a child, grandchild or friend- you may be able to provide incentive by doing the project together!) But when it comes down to it, you are the boss of your gift giving!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Which one you could depend on your intended audience, but both are good fits for most people. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

I have been personally fascinated by crochet, and especially 3d crochet of stuffies and the like. There is a whole genre of pre-made, beginner DIY kits with instructions for amigurumi, which is mini animals like the ones pictured here. These are a couple of my favorite designs! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One holiday season I painstakingly learned to temper chocolate and made a bunch of filled chocolates which I sent to my family and friends through the mail… Now, I don’t remember what the verdict was, flavor wise- but I know for SURE these are easier and likely just as delicious. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

This one is only going to work for your over 21 crew, but if you have an ambitious whiskey lover in your life that’s always looking for the perfect drink- let them try their hand at making their own! Or try YOUR hand, and gift it to them. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

I LOVE this candle making kit, it has everything convenient as well as quite a few scents, colors and embellishments all for a very affordable price. Honestly, I would buy one for me and one for my friend also. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

I live in a desert, so I love when I can find hardy houseplants I can’t kill off too easily, just to bring some green into my house. This is my favorite version of this kit, because I love the ceramic pots. The other versions are actually a little cheaper, and equally green so take a look at those too. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

As you can see, the kits come with the hoop, the tiny scissors, the colorful embroidery thread and the needles and needle threader. Of course, instructions included. These are a little inhibitive because you follow a pattern, but I think that is useful for just starting out because you can get a feel for how to do it before you start free handing. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

This brand has the best beginner embroidery patterns in my opinion, and these are just a couple of the sets I really like so take a look at some of the others. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They are also super affordable kits! This is another option I would definitely get myself one along with one or two for friends. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

I got this kit for my hot sauce-loving brother a couple Christmases ago, and he enjoyed it immensely! I’m not going to lie- the best hot sauce I ever had was manufactured. BUT it was developed by a friend in his own home! In fact, I will drop a link for Urban Legend Bottling (I am not an affiliate marketer for them, I just really love their product) because it is really dang good. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
