10 Christmas Gift Ideas

  Hi! You may have seen a pop-up saying that when I get 30 Blogger followers, I'll do a giveaway. Well, today I saw I have exactly 30! I don't have a giveaway ready quite yet, but I'm preparing for one. You will hopefully see it soon, so stay on the lookout for that! 
  For now, I'm going to be posting some Christmas gift ideas. A few are small businesses I want to recommend, and others are ideas to make from Pinterest. 
  Oh, and I want to mention—I do not recommend everything on the all websites I've linked too. I included links so that you can have tutorials for some of the craft ideas, but I didn't "explore" the websites they're on.  Okay, so let's begin!

  Beth likes to sew, and uses this website to sell some things she makes. She also sells other crafts on here too, like string art.  Currently, she is saving up to sponsor a child, so she will put 50% of the  profit from certain items towards that.

  Here two cousins are trying to sell things they have wood burned, such as signs, mug holders, and coasters. I bought something from them for my sister's birthday earlier this year, and it was very nice.


3. CV Sisters
  Anita and Alice make coconut oil based products such as soap, lip-balm, scrubs, and lotion bars. They are natural, and they come in different flavors/scents. They even make a paw balm for dogs! Last year,  I bought a few things from them, and they sent it in a little box with colorful tissue paper that was very fun to get!



4. Paige's Crocheted Creations
  Paige crochets many things, from baby blankets to decorations, hats, an egg apron, potholders, and more. Also, you can ask her to make specific things. Last year for Christmas, I asked her to make a beard for my brother, and she did!



Now, homemade gift ideas from Pinterest...


5. Popsicle Stick Shelf

  I think this shelf is really a neat idea! I can't find a tutorial, but you may be able to figure out how to make it just by looking at the pictures.
