Poll: Homemade gifts
Do you make anything for your family members every year? If so, what?
I made the kids pillowcases this year and toffee for family and friends. I would like to learn how to make pj pants and them make the kids a pair each year. I think it would be fun.

Re: Poll: Homemade gifts
bio
The past few years I've made homemade bread loaves, banana or pumpkin or both, and fudge, and that's our primary gift to family and close friends.
This year I did that, plus I've been making homemade wall decor for the kids' room. Also made homemade frames for our family picture prints.
I don't do it every year, but sometimes I will sew something and/or make candy and chocolates for people. I've made yoga accessories for bff, pj pants for mom / MIL / DH, aprons, Christmas stockings, and a dress once for MIL. My goal next year is to get a list and start sewing over the summer so when it comes time to mail things I have it all done and ready to go.
This year a friend and I went crazy making candy on the weekends. We did peanut butter balls, homemade marshmallows, toffee, fudge, popcorn balls, and chocolate covered oreos.
We usually make some homemade gifts yearly. They aren't usually the same. This year we made Apple Pie Moonshine
and these cool herb containers made out of wine bottles we cut in half:
ETA: I forgot we also did these:
The above aren't ours, but these are basically how ours looked but with CO plates.
This year I made salted carmels and along with Blake made hand print Christmas trees on cheap 8x10 canvases for the grandparents.
Last year we did hand print snowmen on glass ornaments and painted decorated cheap ornaments from the hobby store
