15 Homemade Gifts for Less Than $5

December 8, 2015 by Laura 3 Comments

This post may contain affiliate links which won’t change your price but will share some commission.

Last year I ran a series here sharing Homemade Gift Ideas for Less Than $5. I wanted to remind you of these ideas just in case any of them will help you out with your gift giving this Christmas!

Homemade Gifts for Less Than $5

Many of these ideas came from you last year. It was so much fun to hear from you and learn from your skills and creativity. If you are working on anything this year, take some pictures, write down instructions, and send them my way. If I feel your idea will benefit my readers, I’d love to post it! If your gift idea costs less than $5, that’s an added bonus we’ll all appreciate. Saving money is always a plus. If your craft is Laura friendly (can be made by a five-year old), all the better. But seeing as most of you are better at crafting than I, we’ll accept even the ideas with instructions that make me pucker up my forehead. (Decoupage? What’s decoupage?)

Below you’ll find links for 15 homemade gift ideas. They all cost less than $5, and some are much less than that! Some are gifts of food, some require a little more skill, all are fun to make and receive!

    I’ve been thinking about the oatmeal idea! I am debating between that or granola . . . Our church secretary is very healthy, so I wanted to make her a goodie basket with granola or oatmeal in a jar, Christmas trail mix, and maybe some spice cookies. :)

    Two easy handmade gifts coming from our house this year are:
    1) Gold-handled wooden spoons – Stick handles through hole in a cardboard box and spray w gold spray paint. Wooden spoons were 5 for 88 cents at our Wal-Mart.
    2) Flannel hand warmers – Sew around edge of 2 (5″) squares of flannel sandwiched together, leave hole to turn. Fill 3/4 full w dry rice and sew hole closed. Microwave a pair for 45 seconds for toasty fingers!).
