EASY DIY GIFTS FOR THE HOLIDAYS ♥

Hello everyone and welcome back to my blog. Today's post is going to be a few simple and unique gift ideas. These ideas are perfect for people who are on a budget because you don't have to buy all high end products, you can get all of these items at the dollar store too. The great thing is how quick you can put this gift together. You can start collecting things now and come Christmas you can throw a few of these ideas together. Below are 5 of my easy and affordable gift ideas for the holidays.

Spa-In-A-Jar
1. Find a square jar (Dollarama) & add things that are spa like! Below I have shown a few products I would add to mine. 2 - Hand & Body Cream. Aveeno is a great brand because there products work great for all skin types. You cant go wrong if you pick up a travel size aveeno to add to your jar. 3. Burt's Bees Foot Cream. I love Burt's Bees! There products are amazing and great for sensitive skin! Any of there products would be great to add into your spa-jar. 4. What spa-jar would be complete without beauty tools! You can pick a set of nail clippers and all the extras up at any dollar store. 5. Nail polish is a great gift! Every girl loves nail polish. Add in a few of your favorite nail polishes. 6. You'll need nail polish remover to get rid of that polish! So why not add in a travel side nail polish remover with some cotton balls. I would use the cotton balls to fill any extra space in your jar. This will make it look extra full! 7. Bath bombs! These little things are awesome and fit perfect into a spa-jar! & Your complete! You can switch out any of my products and replace your own. Also, add some ribbon and a bow on top to make it look pretty!


Hot Chocolate Jar
This is such a simple and great gift for the holidays! So many people like hot chocolate and especially if it comes with baileys! All you need to do for this simple gift is....1. Take a mason jar (Dollarama) 2. Add hot chocolate powder to the mason jar filling it almost full but saving room for some...3. Marshmallows! Add mini marshmallows to the top of your jar and seal it shut! 4. Take a mini bottle of baileys and tie ribbon around it and attach it to the top of your mason jar. Add a bow to make it pretty!
Movie Basket
This gift is great for all those TV lovers! This one can get a little more expensive depending on the movie or TV series you would like to place inside. I chose to show you The Vampire Diaries because that show is amazing!! So, 1. Take a large square pop corn bowl (Dollarama) 2. Add your movie or series 3. Fill up your bowl with pop corn, candy & some Jones soda because that stuff is delicious! (4 & 5) & 6. Add some tissues!

Travel Cup & Goodies
This idea is great for honestly any girl! Just grab a travel mug and fill it with goodies!
1. Starbucks travel mug that's clear, 2. Sparkle nail file 3. Urban Decay eye shadow primer - this stuff is awesome! Its a little expensive but it lasts forever!! 4. Nail polish! I love the Nicole by OPI! 5. Add in a makeup brush! You can find great e.l.f brushes at the dollar store now for $1.00 & they are amazing! Totally worth throwing in your travel cup. 6. I love the e.o.s lip balms and they are a perfect size to throw in your mug! & 7 add some candy to fill the extra room! Starbusts look pretty but feel free to add Christmas candy!
 

Christmas Mittens
This idea is perfect for those friends who love cooking and baking and being in the kitchen. It is pretty affordable and you can find most of these supplies from the dollar store. Dollarama sells Betty Croker and it lasts a pretty long time & the red looks great for the holidays! All you need to do is find some Christmas oven mitts and fill them with kitchen goodies! As shown below you can add wooden spoons, cooking timers, whisks, peelers etc! Tie a bow and call it a day!

& That's all for my easy diy gifts for the holidays! Hopefully you can use these ideas during work parties, family gatherings etc. Hopefully they inspire you.
