Answer 1

If you are searching for a gift that has been handmade to purchase as a gift, there is quite a selection out there in a wide variety of prices. Sometimes the least expensive items are things you might not think of.

 

Available for $44 is a hostess gift set of homemade candles which includes 12 candles and beeswax wrappers to be sure they fit your candleholders. A handmade gift is always just a little more special. A selection of handmade scented soaps are anti-bacterial and antiseptic. A four-ounce bar costs $4.50 and you can buy some in different scents and colors to suit the occasion to make a collection of them. There is a nice selection of handmade gifts like this handmade Tibetan Leather Jewelry Box for $85 at Buy.com.

Another idea is a gift basket with a selection of gourmet food items, wines, cheeses, or beers that you can put together for yourself with a few stops at local stores. Or you might purchase a handmade basket from The Blessing Basket, a non-profit agency that pays artisans around the world 2 1/2 times the fair trade value of their baskets. You can shop by country and price to make your selection. You can also shop at The Women's Bean Project for a gift basket of gourmet foods, chocolates, baby items, home items and spices, all priced between $30 and $65. They also have a selection of handmade jewelry. They empower women by putting them to work and training them to help break the cycle of poverty and unemployment for them.

If you seriously want to create the gift by making it yourself there are lots of homemade gift ideas out there. Gifts in a Jar, like homemade cookies, ready mixes for muffins, cookies, or soups are great for casual friends and neighbors and a very good thing to keep on hand for the gift you need in a hurry. You can easily search for recipes and include all the dry ingredients (layered for a dramatic effect) and the recipe in the jar, then wrap with a cheerful handmade label. Suggestions for other gifts to make - especially on a budget can be found at Get Rich Slowly. If you knit, crochet or sew you can find free patterns and instructions at Favecrafts. There are hundreds of ideas with free patterns and step by step instructions. They have all the holidays and seasons covered too. A homemade scrapbook is a great idea for anyone whether filled or empty for the recipient to fill. The ultimate homemade gift has got to be a homemade quilt. A "memory" quilt made from articles of clothing or pieces of those articles are an amazing way to document wedding days and favorite childhood memories for your son or daughter. Actually if you don't have the time or skills for quilting you can have someone make it for you - and technically it would still be handmade.
