Handmade gifts are pretty much the third best gift option after your very presence, and great wine. If Christmas is the holiday you celebrate, it’s just two and a half weeks away…so if you’re hoping to whip up some handmade gifts, you best get to it!

Many readers requested that I share some ideas for handmade gifts so I pulled together 10 awesome ideas that could easily be completed before the holiday if you get started now. I have included five sewing and five knitting projects with a range of recipients in mind. Several of these are things I have made before and the rest I would love to try. Merry making!
