Christmas time isn’t the only time of year to make DIY Gifts. For some of us money might be tight all year round. If you are on a budget then this is a great guide for you to get ideas for gifts.

Most of the items used to make these gifts are found in the Dollar Store. It’s all about transforming these ordinary things into something exciting.

This list of gifts is not only cheap to make but they are ones that I personally would to gift for my friends and family and would love to us.

Let’s Get Crafty!

1. DIY Watercolor Coffee Mugs

All you need is a bottle of nail polish and a plain white coffee mug. As a bonus you can add candy to the mug, place into a bag. Everything you can find at the Dollar Store. This is a great gift because each mug will be unique like the person receiving this gift!

2. DIY Succulent Mason Jar Gift

   

   Found from Live Randomly Simple

I love succulents they are a great plant to give someone because it is so low maintenance. I found the mason jars at the Dollar Store and twine. I found the chalkboard paint and the chalkboard ink at a local craft store on sale. Bonus! So keep an eye out for that! I got a lot of use out of the paint and ink so it was worth the money for sure.

3. DIY Spa Kit

   

   Found from POPSUGAR

The best part about this DIY Gift is most the items to make the gifts with are from the grocery store, pantry staples. So turning everyday items into a gift your friends and family will definitely thank you for such a cute and relaxing gift.

4. Easy DIY Whiteboards

I think this is such a cute idea! Using a picture frame and repurposing it to create a useful gift. All by placing a piece of colorful paper inside and using dry erase markers for writing notes its transform into a whiteboard. So cool!
