When I was a kid I loved giving homemade Christmas gifts. Usually it was pot holders made from my loom kit. Then, there was the year I gave out metal hangers painted with fingernail polish. I am sure they were cherished for years. 😉 But, homemade Christmas gifts don't have to be cheesy. Here are 15 homemade Christmas gifts people will actually be happy to receive.

I definitely made potholders, too! (Actually, that was pretty fun. Maybe I should find a set for my kids...) I would add that if you can sew or knit/ crochet, you can make TONS of gifts. I have a basic knowledge of crocheting and sewing and have made scarves, hats, handkerchiefs, stockings, etc. Always well received!
