Today, I wanted to round up a huge list of the easiest handmade Christmas gifts that ANYONE can do! 

Since I was little, I have always love to make gifts for my friends at Christmas. It is fun to include something special and personal to your best friends, neighbors, and family!

I am not into difficult DIY projects or anything too time consuming, so these are just really easy and fast!

Many of these have been featured on Chemistry  Cachet, and some are new ones I have loved from all over the internet!

17+ The Easiest Handmade Christmas Gifts

The Easiest Handmade Christmas Gifts

Don’t forget to follow us on Instagram for more fun videos, tips, and behind the scenes.

DIY Macchiato Kit

This is one of my favorite ones. I did this for multiple friends last year and they loved it!

Homemade Dog Biscuits

Readers loved this so much last year. It makes such a fun little gift for neighbors who have dogs or friends who have them. Wrap it up in a pretty Christmas package and it is a great gift!

Hot Chocolate Kits

This is a great idea for people with kids, but also fun for anyone. I have done this for friends and neighbors in the past. It is fun to include a pretty little Christmas mug too.

Hot Chocolate Bar

Another fun idea is to have a hot chocolate bar for all your friends, then send them home with hot chocolate kits or fun flavor bottles!

Gingerbread Sugar Scrub

This is a brand new post from last week, but it is already one of my favorites. I gave this one to my best friends along with a bunch of goodies. They loved it! Perfect for coworkers too.

Sugar Cookie Platters

Every year, my mom and I bake a bunch of Christmas cookies. Then, we hand them out to neighbors on really pretty platters they can keep. It is always so nice to get homemade Christmas cookies.

If you need some dairy-free sugar cookies, here is a great recipe we love!

DIY Clear Christmas Ornaments

I created some clear Christmas ornaments for my friends a few years ago. I filled them with glitter and rolled ribbons with the year. It was so cute and easy!

Here are some other fun ideas to do with clear ornaments that make great gifts!

Natural Peppermint Sugar Scrub

This peppermint sugar scrub is so pretty and festive! Plus, it uses natural food options for the red color. I made this last year for all my friends, and they loved it!

Homemade Winter Hand Sanitzer

My friends really loved these this year! They are so easy to make and make great gifts for anyone! Good for stockings too!

DIY Vanilla Extract

Every year, I make friends and family cute bottles of this homemade extract. It is the best vanilla and a really fun gift idea!

Marbled Clay Ring Dish

This is so cute! A really fun idea for friends and coworkers!

Homemade Marble Trays

I made this a few years ago for people and it was a big hit! I have a few around my house too that I use for everything!

Christmas Candies

Along with sugar cookie platters, it is fun to make pretty platters filled with Christmas treats.

Some of my favorites are these salted caramel candies and 3-ingredient peanut clusters. Also these peanut butter cookie truffles!

Homemade Coffee Mugs

I did this about 6 or 7 years ago for my friends. It is SO easy to do! And you can do so many different colors and lettering.

Coffee Mug Cozy

Another easy idea is these cute coffee mug cozies! I have received these as gifts, and they are a great idea!

Pretty Christmas Popcorn

Every year, my mom makes huge batches of this Christmas popcorn to give to neighbors. It is pretty, and everyone loves it!

Decorative Oreo Pops

These are really cute too! You can make all different types, then wrap them in pretty packaging. So easy, but they really make a big statement!

Hope you can find some fun ideas for this year!

Merry Christmas!

    The gingerbread sugar scrub sounds like the perfect DIY gifts! I’m also a hand sanitizer fanatic and spend way too much money on small bottles when I can make my own with your recipe plus it’s perfect for stocking stuffers. Emily @ Martinis & Bikinis

      I love making my own hand sanitizer, and I love picking out the scents I want. I gave them to all my friends this year and they loved them!
