Help me find decent budget/homemade gifts for teens...

[SignOnTheWindow]

By mutual agreement our wider family hasn't done Christmas presents for adults for a few years now. Pressies for nieces and nephews have tended to be around the £20 mark or, as they've got older and been saving for bigger items, the equivalent cash bunged in a card.

Things are pinched this year so I'd be massively grateful for some non-crappy homemade/budget gift ideas that a teenager might enjoy. Homemade bath salts would not go down well.

Bit fed up and lacking in imagination at the moment!

Baking kit - all the ingredients for a chocolate cake in a jar with a recipe attached and some chocolate buttons to decorate?

Make chocolate spoons and pop in cellophane with marshmallows

Do a mini hamper? Wrap a shoe box style box in sparkly gift paper. Fill with chocolates and sweets from B & M

Etsy have inexpensive laser print gifts, like pen holders and little vases for succulents.

Or inspired by that, a cake-in-a-mug kit - nice Christmas mug, recipe card & ingredients. My 18 y/o would like that I'm sure. She'd also be very happy with something like home made fudge, chocolate truffles etc etc. Fluffy socks also a cheap but appreciated present IME (for girls at least!).

Did got given a recipe book for microwave mug cakes a couple of years ago. It has been very well used 😊

Can you knit? I did DD a frog beret and a toadstool beret, and have had requests from her friends for them. They only take a couple of hours to make, and use about 50g of chunky yarn and scraps for the details.

That's the pattern I use for the actual beret.

These are great - thanks! Why did I not think of DIY baking kits? Can't go wrong with chocolate, can you?

@PomBearWithoutHerOFRS, I can't knit, but I may well have to learn - that's a very cute beret!
