DIY Christmas Presents
« on: October 25, 2014, 12:21:52 PM »
Christmas is two months away, and that's when my wife typically starts making presents for relatives.

In the past she's done/made things like:
Knitted scarves
Made coasters
Made stuffed animals (for young nieces/nephews)
Flavored vodka
Sewed cloth napkins
Mocha cocoa
Sugar scrub
Bath salts
Rock candy

So we started brainstorming ideas of things she can do this year; she'll also do some Googling, and checking Pinterest and whatnot, but I figured I'd ask here as well.

Anyone have any good DIY ideas or links for Christmas presents?
