Tell me about hand making gifts.

[fairy1303]

I'm currently on MAT leave. We are officially brassic.

Kids are sorted.

I'm trying to think of stuff I can make, very cheaply but without it looking or being just another piece of crap.

Have seen teacup tea lights which look great, struggling for anything else though tbh.

I have one particular tough cookie, into gardening and bicycles, goes by the name of 'grandpa'.

Help!

We usually make edible gifts,
Last year was peanut butter chocolate cups and sweet mince flapjack
The previous year was dutch apricot biscuits and sweet mince flapjack (v.popular in out family)
Little cellophane bags, couple of quid online for 20 or so and tied with some nice ribbon

Soap? Candles? Do you knit or sew at all? Home made chutney is a good one, a batch makes enough for a few people.

Have you had a look on Pinterest? Lots of ideas there!

Gardener's hand scrub with oil, sugar and some essential oil.

Edible stuff like chocolate, biscuits etc.

Last year I made hot lavender handwarmers and wheat bags.
