“I like giving my girlfriends unique bracelets that suit their personalities. Everyone loves to get something glittery!” – Jess

 

“My homemade hot chocolate mix. It’s super easy to make (for me and them), not to mention customizable by adding mini chocolate chips, marshmallows, cinnamon or even cayenne pepper for a little spice.” – Katie

 

“Peppermint bark. It’s an impressive treat that’s quick ‘n’ cheap to make. Plus there are always leftovers to munch on at home!” - Brittany

 

“I always give my sisters a tube of C.O. Bigelow Mentha Lip Shine from Bath & Body Works. It’s cheap, cute and very useful. Hello, glossy lips and fresh breath. That’s like two prezzies in one!” - Trish

 

“Books! Whether it’s a best-seller for my dad, coffee table-sized photography for my mom or a rare edition of my BFF’s favorite classic, I love to find the perfect book and know it’ll be a keepsake.” - Kelsey

 

“I love to make DIY postcards for my friends. I’ll collage the front with images and words that remind me of them and then write the nicest note possible. I know they keep them long after the holiday.” – Katie A.

I'm making my sisters a "memento box" (from dec 2011/Jan 2012 issue) inspired gift. It will have American Girl dresses I mad with some stocking stuffers and some cute things. For my older sister who loves music, I'm making a caset iPod case (you can find the page here in crafts), I bout my brother a Harley Davidson keychain, I'm making my mom a sock monkey (she loves anything I make!) and some bath bubbles, and some of my besties sequined headbands (for this girl I'm taping the box with business cards, she collects em), I'll make some nail polish(again, in the crafts) and some lipglosses, and lanyards. And for my extended fam? Homemade hot chocolate mix (in the crafts!!!!) and how much did all this cost? $30(:

Mod! Mod!
Hey! The holidays are right around the corner. What are some great gifts I can make for my mom? And also my dad. I'm actually trying to make most of my gifts this year and need just some ideas for friends. Any help? Thanks!




Hey girl,

I always love "coupon books," where you give them coupons for you to do the dishes for a week straight, for you to plan a "date night at home" for mom and dad where you make dinner and put a movie on (or whatever you think they'd like), etc. It's from the heart and totally easy! For other gift ideas, stay tuned to GL.com as the holidays get closer. I'm sure we'll have articles all about this!

I'm going to make my ultimate best friend a cake, my mom a cake and a book, my dad a shotglass for his shotglass collection, my sister some Coach nail polish, my aunt I'm making her a collage of photos from my sister, her and I went on a one day trip, and my grandparents I'm making them a collage.
