11 Cheap and Charming Homemade Gifts: From Limoncello to Bath Salts

We're thrilled to present this smart Learnvest story here on Savvy!

Making your own holiday gifts does not mean that you should be giving out hand-knit trivets and bedazzled crafts. Even if you aren’t a craft expert, you can make some pretty fab DIY gifts for your friends and family at the fraction of the cost of store-bought gifts. With just a little time, you can turn ordinary and low-cost objects like candles, photo frames, or sets of martini glasses into items that are truly extraordinary.

Plus, we’ve found that homemade gifts strike the recipients as high-thought rather than as low-cost. Save a bundle by making one (or all) of these sparkly and sweet gifts this season.
