Holiday Roundup: 10 Last Minute DIY Gift Ideas
Hello lovelies! Did you all have a great weekend? Mine started out with a mean seasonal cold, but thankfully by Sunday morning I was feeling well again, thanks to this awesome natural cold syrup that Satsuki recommended to me over on twitter (thank you again Satsuki).
This week I wanted to start off the roundups I promised, with 10 great Last Minute DIY Gift Ideas. There are loads of handmade presents to make online, but once I started searching I realized that not many of them can actually be completed in a short period of time or without too many expensive supplies. So after a rather exhaustive hunt (and remember I was still ill at this point, so I might have missed a lot of great ones) I found these projects to share with you all. Tomorrow I'll be sharing a roundup of delicious and not-too-complicated recipes that are great for making and gifting. See you then! xo Ez

So nice of you to include my faux Italian thumbtacks!
Thank you Ez!

I think I will be availing myself of that silhouette idea! I painted some white animal silhouettes on wood for my brother (he is a hunter, so I did deer and fish etc.) but didn't even consider doing some reversed ones as well. Genius!
these are all so cute :)
Ez, when I saw the title of this post I got really excited! When I headed over to visit, lo and behold! Thank you for including the earrings -so sweet of you.
I can't wait to check out these other fantastic ideas!
Cheers! And have a blessed holiday week!

#1 is so pretty and simple! Love it
While I was looking online for good last minute gift ideas, I cam accross this: http://www.givingbetter.org/giving-blog/give-giving-card-holiday-season
I think it's the perfect gift for anyone!
Sweet ideas! I really have fallen for the trend with gold on the inside of bowls, or on one side as in the one here. And I really like Kate's painterly silouttes, I just wish I had someone to give them to...maybe the same idea with other silouettes :-)
Glad to hear you're feeling better! These are some super cute ideas. My weekend was dominated by a horrible migraine, but luckily I rallied yesterday in time to go tree shopping and get a few things checked off my list. :)
Thanks for including my little gold-dipped bowl, Ez! xoxo
These are very nice. I especially I'd like to try Chalkboard Mug.
Did I mention how I look forward to these posts every day - sends me blog hopping for hours on end - oh no!
Thank you Ez! Great roundup!
Finding an ideal Birthday present for the loved ones can be stressful sometimes and I would Like to thank the writer for making it easier for Me. I was looking for a Birthday present for my elder Brother , I've bought a Laptop as Birthday gift for my tech savvy Brother, a Photo Frame and a Musical Birthday Greeting card with a Famous quote printed on It.
Thanks again !
