The dreaded C word - again!

[Mr and Mrs luvpie]

So come on I'm a knackered pregnant mum who needs some ideas so please can everyone just put all their suggestions for Christmas presents to make on this thread, then all I have to do is find the time to make them, I'm sure I'm not the only one who would be looking here for new ideas and inspiration!

I look forward to having my christmas planned for me!

Oh one family member is diabetic so things for that side of the family would be great too.


So far:-

The wood we have found in the shed is being turned into nest boxes, and I think that we might do my mum a tyre planter as she has always admired ours when she is here.
The boys running coach has given us a massive bag of apples tonight, so chuntey could be back on the menu, so any good recipes would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Sarahx

I recently made picture frames and a spice rack from some leftover shiplap.

I would post a photo but I don't know how to.

Are you artistic? If so you could hit your local charity shop, buy the shabby but physically sound items, then revamp them with canal-style painting techniques.

Or how about glass painting small jars?

Look carefully at your gift list and ensure that you aren't exchanging gifts with people for no good reason at all. Sometimes it's not the ideas for gifts that you need but the idea that you are giving out of force of habit for no good reason and without having your head and heart involved.

Christmas cake?
How about making up personalised Christmas crackers?

Photograph album? Buy a cheap plain album and recover it with a more personal cover.

Pot up a planter, cheap terracota pot with a conifer, and some seasonal bedding plants. Add a fir cone or a bauble wired on to a stick.

Make up simple fabric or dough Christmas decorations in a nice presentation box (recycled of course).
