Handmade Christmas 2012 {gifts for women}


I'm so excited about the ideas that have been linked up the last couple of weeks.  Rememeber that the link ups will be open until Nov. 31st for each catagory so go ahead and continue to link up through then. 


This week we're linking up gifts for women.  Last year Gabriel made monogramed mugs for everyone.  He used this tutorial from DesignMom.  I love them and so did all of the recipients. 

I really like this moisturizing hand scrub from Good Life Eats.  Our lemons are starting to ripen so I'll probably be making some of these this year...shhhh don't tell anyone.

Candles always make a nice gift but sometimes the idea of making candles is a bit overwhelming.  So why not try dipped candles or wrapped candles.

Your turn... This post is shared at Works For Me Wednesday, Southern Lovely: Show & Share, What I Learned Wednesday , Not Afraid of the Snow,

  2. Stamped candles are really easy to make also.Buy a white or cream color candle(the big 3 wick candles work the best).Stamp an image on one layer of white tissue paper.Trim around the image and use a glue stick to adhere to the candle.Then use a heat gun or hair dryer to make the wax seep through the tissue paper.It will look like the image was printed right on the candle.

  6. Hi, Angi! I love handmade gifts and am always looking for more ideas, so thanks. :)

    And your harvest/preserving looks wonderful - you won't be missing peaches like I will this winter (waaa- there was just no time...). I just harvested the last of the grape tomatoes (that weren't split) and beans this morning - man, is the garden looking sad.:)

    Have a great day! Jami

    1. Actually we've eaten all the peaches except one canned quart. That's what happens when you can everything in June. We're also almost out of spaghetti sauce.

      Thanks for linking up your memo board... so very cute.
