DIY Christmas presents easily made by yourself – 10 ultimate tips

Very soon the most beautiful time of the year begins, the Christmas season. So, have you bought a present yet? No? Then we have tips & tricks for your perfect Christmas – one hundred percent self-made of course. Because nothing is more trendy than Do it yourself, in short: DIY. That’s why we at Wunderino have put together 10 helpful tips for you on how you can sweeten your loved ones’ Christmas with homemade gifts.

Tip 1: Make your own bath balls

The winter is known to be bitterly cold. It freezes and snows, in short, it is simply uncomfortable. What helps against this unpleasant cold? A nice hot bath. But not just any bath, but the full pampering program. From bubbling bath balls to relaxing music and romantic candlelight. Give away this feeling of winterly winteriness at Christmas – with homemade bath balls and bath chocolates. You’ll find all the ingredients in your kitchen.

Tip 2: Homemade baked apple jam

Mhmm…what smells so good? Homemade jam. But not just any jam, but the most winterly one of all: Baked apple marmalade. It is sweet and fruity, hearty and tart at the same time. That’s why it is the perfect gift for a cosy Christmas breakfast. The best thing is, the fruit spread has an incomparable sweet and spicy aroma and is very easy to make. All you need is a lot of apples – and even more apples in the form of apple juice. You also need whole cane sugar or honey, cinnamon sticks, ginger, star anise, vanilla, a lemon, bitter almond oil and jam sugar of course.

Tip 3: Self-painted fabric bag

You have to go shopping every day. That’s where the plastic bags you use in your everyday life pile up. For the New Year, why don’t you plan to go around the world more sustainably and invest in fabric bags? They are robust, do not tear and protect the environment. And if you lovingly paint the bags, you will have a great Christmas present for friends and family.

Tip 4: Brownie baking mix in a glass

Everyone loves sweets, especially at Christmas. Instead of buying cookies or taking a dry stollen from some bakery at the last minute, you should bring something homemade. And don’t panic! If you don’t have time to bake, it doesn’t matter at all. Surprise your loved ones with your own baking mix in a glass. Not only is it incredibly sweet, it also looks great. And the great thing is: The presentee doesn’t even have to do much, because almost all ingredients are already in the jar.

Tip 5: A special bracelet for everyone

A sailor’s knot as a gift? Woven into a bracelet, it turns out to be a great accessory. A sailor’s knot bracelet is original and very easy to make. Cotton, leather, wool or strips of fabric from old T-shirts are suitable. Either way, a sailor’s knot bracelet is timelessly beautiful – and a great gift under the Christmas tree.

Tip 6: A personal book

What could be more personal than a book you created yourself? Whether recipe book, photo album, voucher book or any other very individual idea – there are so many different ways to be creative. Just get yourself an empty notebook and let’s go!

Tip 7: Homemade herbal oil

Whether woman or man, everyone is happy about a homemade herbal oil. The best thing is, for a high-quality herbal oil you don’t have to be a professional or hobby cook. A clean bottle, a few hearty smelling herbs and lots of oil, that’s all you need for a good herbal oil. Tip: Start early enough, the herbal oil needs something to soak through.

Tip 8: A book as a picture frame

You have books at home that you somehow don’t want to throw away. But you don’t want to read them anymore either. Then make cool picture frames from your books! Sounds crazy (and it probably is). Still, it’s a great gift idea for Christmas – and an individual one at that! It also saves old books from getting dusty and saves the recipient from boring picture frames.

Tip 9: Boxer shorts made from old bed linen

Another Wunderino recycling idea for you: Don’t throw away old bed linen, but turn it into practical boxer shorts as a gift. Correctly read, faded sheets are great for sewing stylish underpants for men. This can really make a good impression. On the other hand it is also good for the environment.

Tip 10: Homemade soap

Handmade soap looks great, smells incredibly good and is also environmentally friendly. It is also completely free of palm oil. This makes handmade soap the perfect Christmas present. And it is also easy to make! As a basic ingredient you always need curd soap. Afterwards you pep it up with fragrant oils and other care substances. You don’t have any curd soap at home, but it has to be produced quickly? Then simply use old soap residues. You will surely still find them somewhere in your home.
