If the idea of making something for a special person with your hands interests you, there are all kinds of craft stores, isles dedicated to DIYs, and kits to make almost anything from t-shirts and blankets to drinking cups to candles and soaps. Whether you already have a hobby, thinking about starting a hobby, or going back to an old hobby, you have multiple outlets to get ideas and supplies or classes to get you going. And if you get stuck, the internet is full of resources and online stores. Time has a way of changing old traditions, while starting new ones. And let’s be honest, one of those traditions, at least in this day and age, most kids just don’t understand the planning, work and time homemade gifts take. In all fairness, with the fast paced environment of the computer age, should we really expect that? Let me give you a challenge, and that is to take one of those kids or their kids and plan a day with them making some of your favorite homemade gifts to give to others in a nursing home or elder community. Maybe, just maybe, the art of giving something made with the hands and thought of by the heart will take hold with this younger generation and perhaps….. maybe, just maybe, that kid will remember that time and that feeling of making something by themselves and pass the memory of that day or item down to their next generation. Here are a few ideas and links to get you started on thinking about the perfect homemade gift for that special person: • 53 Crafty, Creative DIY Christmas Gifts • 100 DIY Christmas Gifts Your Family and Friends Will Love • Christmas Hands-on Activities | Education. com • DIY Christmas Gifts - Almost Homemade Christmas Gift Ideas • My Ultimate List of Creative DIY Christmas Gift Ideas under $25 | The DIY Mommy • 200 Cheap and Easy DIY Christmas Gifts - Prudent Penny Pincher [JA Hodgdon-Ruppel]
