\"DIY_Gifts_Header_Image\"<\/p>\n

Right now the Homan family finances are tighter than we’re used to. When we got married, we had two incomes. Now, we have one part-time income and my husband’s in school. Also, we have a baby. Lots of transitions happened in the last year – most of them pretty happy. All of them have had an impact on our budget. <\/p>\n

Where am I going with this? Well, just because money’s tight, doesn’t mean you can’t give gifts that people enjoy. That’s why I’ve scoured Pinterest looking for cheap, DIY gifts that aren’t completely lame. <\/p>\n

1. Photo Board from Shanty 2 Chic<\/a><\/h3>\n

(she actually has a $10 and $15 presents, but I really like the $5 one best!)<\/p>\n

\"15<\/a><\/p>\n

2. DIY Burned Wooden Kitchen Spoons from Cherished Bliss<\/a><\/h3>\n

This idea is so simple and elegant! You could also use paint or sharpie if you don’t have a wood burning kit just lying around. <\/p>\n

\"15<\/a><\/p>\n

3. Homemade Juggling Balls\/Hackysacks from Homan at Home<\/a><\/h3>\n

Provides hours of fun for only a few dollars!<\/p>\n

\"15<\/a><\/p>\n

4. DIY Texting Gloves from Snap Creativity<\/a><\/h3>\n

Some people are endlessly creative! These gloves are not only cute, but super useful.<\/p>\n

\"15<\/a><\/p>\n

5.DIY Handwarmers from Rae Ann Kelly<\/a><\/h3>\n

These are originally supposed to be Valentines gifts, but who doesn’t need warmer hands in December?<\/p>\n

\"15<\/a><\/p>\n

6. Mug Cakes in Jar from Homan at Home<\/a><\/h3>\n

Features cinnamon spice and chocolate versions.<\/p>\n

\"15<\/a><\/p>\n

7.  Paper Clip Earrings from Sunny Vanilla<\/a><\/h3>\n

The color possibilities are endless with these!<\/p>\n

\"15<\/a><\/p>\n

8. Dollar Store Tray to Beautiful Centerpiece from Tried and True<\/a><\/h3>\n

Don’t you just love when some clever person figures out how to make the garish timeless? So cheap, and so cute!<\/p>\n

\"15<\/a><\/p>\n

9. Cake Stand Kitchen Organizer from Liz Marie Blog<\/a><\/h3>\n

I actually received one of these a few years ago. It is adorable and sits right by my sink. It keeps things so much cleaner!<\/p>\n

\"15<\/a><\/p>\n

10. Rice Heating Pad from Homan at Home<\/a><\/h3>\n

These are perfect for aches, pains, or just plain relaxation.<\/p>\n

\"15<\/a><\/p>\n

11. Chalkboard Coasters from Honey Bear Lane<\/a><\/h3>\n

Make a set for a few dollars! These looks really professional, but they’re super easy to make. <\/p>\n

\"15<\/a><\/p>\n

12. DIY iPad Case from Oh So Lovely<\/a><\/h3>\n

Basic sewing skills required, but super practical and super cute!<\/p>\n

\"15<\/a><\/p>\n

13. Kitchen Chalkboard Made from Clipboard from Anderson + Grant<\/a><\/h3>\n

This is another craft I was gifted a few years ago. I use mine all the time!<\/p>\n

\"15<\/a><\/p>\n

14. Recipe Plate from Josie Jones & Co<\/a><\/h3>\n

You could use just about any dish for this – I received a pie pan with an apple pie recipe on it for my wedding. <\/p>\n

\"15<\/a><\/p>\n

15. Rose Water<\/a> (or Rose Sugar Scrub<\/a>) from Homan at Home<\/h3>\n

Used for anything from beauty to cooking, this delicately scented and flavored DIY is a unique gift.<\/p>\n

\"15<\/a><\/p>\n
