17 · Dec 21, 2021 · Daria Patrunjel · Leave a Comment

No gift is better than a homemade gift, if you ask us! Even if the object itself is actually easy to make, it looks like you put some effort into it – and definitely some thought! We have 10 great homemade gift ideas for you below, all of which are universal, meaning they’re suitable for pretty much anyone on your list. So before you reach for the generic gift card or the boring bottle of wine, how about you turn that bottle into candles instead? Scroll down to get your creative juices flowing:

10 Homemade Gift Ideas for the Home

1. DIY Wine Bottle Candles // Who doesn’t love candles? They make great gifts for virtually everyone, and the even better news is you can make them in bigger batches and gift away. And no need to spend on fancy containers either – you can make these from old wine bottles!
