Homemade Holiday Was A Hit

This year, Jessie and I decided to do homemade Christmas gifts for our families. (minus the men. We just bought them stuff.) We were so pleased with the results. And maybe we need to have girls. Maybe.

After crafting for nearly 2 months on these bad-boys for our nieces, they turned out to be a hit on Christmas morning.
They are hair clip holders that hang on the wall. We also made a billion and a half hair clips to go on them.
Here is one with the hair clips clipped on.
Remember the octopus? I put them on top of the girls presents and thought they turned out cute.
For our mom's/ mother-in-law's, we made wellness bags. They consisted of:
Lavender Heat Therapy Bag
Eucalyptus Cold Therapy Bag
Cold Peppermint Headache Pillow

I'm bummed that I forgot to take a picture of them all together with the tags on them. They turned out great. And they work like a champ.

Hand-making gifts this year was awesome. I'd love to do it every year.

Did you make any homemade gifts this Christmas?
Please share. I need some good ideas for next year. It's never too early to start!
