I included my 101 Acts of Service post even though that isn’t technically a handmade gift, it is a great place to get ideas for thoughtful favors (most of which don’t cost a dime) for loved ones in your life.
They are great if your spouse or partner has the acts of service Love Language or if you want to create a sweet “coupon book” for their stocking, you can use some of the ideas in that post to get you started.
When you’re on a really tight budget, don’t feel like you have to go spending a fortune buying gifts.
Often a thoughtful handmade gift is even more exciting to the recipient than some randomly purchased store-bought gift.
With a little ingenuity and planning, you can create a beautiful handmade gift that will be cherished!
