However, making Christmas presents is not always easy, so you will need to be organized and do some planning before you get started.

  • When it comes to making Christmas presents, the first thing that you should do is plan ahead. Who will you be making gifts for and who are you buying for? Unless you have something really individually planned for someone, you can usually do well with homemade Christmas presents as gifts for hostesses, teachers, coaches and anyone else on your list that you know will appreciate a little something but isn't hoping for something big.

  • Once you have your list of recipients, it's time to decide what homemade Christmas presents you're going to make. For instance, you might want to use organic essential oils to make a batch of good smelling bath salts and candles for some and make some cookies or sweet breads for others. So, choose a few projects that you want to do and that you can fit into your schedule and budget.

  • Once you've chosen the Christmas presents that you will be making, you should consider your gift list. Remember that many of the Christmas presents that you might make can actually be gifts for a few people, so one batch of bath salts might be enough to fill three nice sized jars. Decide which recipients would like which gift and put them on the list.

  • When making Christmas presents, remember that your packaging of each gift is just as important as the gift itself. So, make a list of all your needs to make the Christmas presents and then to package them so that you can start and finish a project in one day. This way, you'll not only have it made, but you can package it and tag it and the gift will be ready to give when you're ready to give it.

  • Only choose to make one batch of Christmas presents at a time. Choose to make the non-perishable gifts first because even if you make bath salts with organic essential oils (instead of chemicals), you're going to have a lot longer shelf life, so make these projects first.

  • You should make a schedule for making Christmas presents. The month between Thanksgiving and Christmas can get to be very hectic, so it's important to be very well organized and plan ahead.

    If you don't have the time to make Christmas presents from scratch, you might want to consider those gifts that you can add a personal touch to. For instance, photo frames that can be personalized with a special picture and engraved are nice ways to let someone special know that you're thinking of him / her with the personal touch.

    Making Christmas presents can be a wonderful way to give gifts on a budget, but you should plan carefully to get the most out of the experience and give gifts that you can be really proud of.

    Have fun!
