Making gifts gives a personalized touch, avoids wastage of resources and hones creativity. It is also a great bonding activity for parents and children. Here are some holiday gifts that you can easily make at home.

Cookies

Who does not love butter cookies that melt in the mouth? There is nothing like a tin of home-made cookies as a gift. A mix of butter, flour, eggs and choco-chips is used to make cookies. After they are baked the cookies can be wrapped in decorative gloss sheet with a fancy ribbon tied like a bow on top. This makes for a healthy and hygienic homemade gift.

Plants

We all like to adorn our decks and garden with exotic plants, both flowering and non-flowering. Indoor plants also add to the ambience in any setting. You will never be forgotten for this wonderful gift with a go-green message. Get an empty clay pot and fill it with soil. Any exotic plant in your garden can be transferred into the pot. You can also paint the clay pot using nice bright colors. Bonsai plants also make for a good gift.
