You guys, it’s December tomorrow and it’s freaking me out.
Doesn’t this happen every year? Once Halloween is over, it’s wham bam thank you ma’am and suddenly we’re in the post-New-Year’s dead zone. You know, the awful two months where nothing is happening except all.the.snow.
But I guess I’m getting ahead of myself. We still have Christmas and Hanukkah and all the good winter holidays to go. Which means, it’s time for gifts!
I know it’s very tempting to use Amazon for everything, buuuuut…I’ve rounded up one hundred modern DIY gift ideas and the least you can do for my feelings is pretend you might make one or two, ok?
I promise not to judge if you end up making a “gift” for yourself.

Goooooodness. So so many good DIY ideas here! Shared.
Don’t you just want to make them all???
I won’t lie I came here to pin a project for my upcoming gift ideas round up and bam you have huge list of 100. Even better that they are categorized based on different personalities! Also thanks for including me among such great talents!
I am sure going to make one or two from this list:)
Hehe, I need categories to keep me sane! Thank you, friend! xoxo
True! It is makes life easier 🙂
Oh and your terrazzo tile is seriously one of my favorite DIYs ever! I can’t get over how pretty it is!
That’s really sweet of you, Marlene<3
This is an amazing round up!!
Thanks, girl! It took me forever to find everything! xoxo
Thanks, girl! It took a while to find everything, lol! xoxo
This post is SO GOOD! I want to do a DIY Christmas and seriously need to get my but into gear. I’ll be referencing this list for SURE
Yay, I’m so glad you like it! I’ve got one or two gifts I’ll be making too (now to choose!). xoxo
Pure awesomeness. Thanks so much for including me! xo
Of course! I love your projects! xoxo
Marlene, this such an amazing list! Loved how you categorized it too! Thanks so much for sharing 🙂
Yay, I’m so glad you think so! To be honest it was hard to narrow it down to “just” 100, there are so many great projects out there! xoxo
Thank you so much!! I’m so glad that the post is proving useful. It was wicked hard to narrow it down to “just” 100, there are so many good projects out there! xoxo
Thank you so much for including our bath bombs!
I’m so glad to! They look amazing!
This is such a good list! So much fun discovering new blogs 😀
Ditto for sure! Especially when I’m doing so casually and not scouring the internet for projects for a really long round-up post… 😉
Started a DIY Gift Ideas board on Pinterest just for this post, haha. So many ideas! I’m the worst at picking out gifts…I never know what to get people. This list is perfect.
Oh yay, I’m so glad it was helpful! And that’s such a good idea to have a board just for gifts. My problem is I always want to keep them for myself. 😉
