Buying things for friends, family, and coworkers is all fine and dandy, but it can get a bit expensive or impersonal. This year, I decided to keep things simple by giving gifts for Christmas that are homemade, natural, and give the receiver a sense of “Wow! There was a lot of thought put into this gift!”.

So, without further ado, here are 37 natural DIY Christmas gift ideas for everyone on your list!

Oh! And don't forget that I have another guide just like this over on my other Holistic Health Herbalist blog. Check it out HERE for 45 more homemade gift ideas for Christmas! You don't want to miss it!

37 Natural DIY Christmas Gift Ideas

There are so many options for amazing DIY gifts for the holidays and the best part about it is that you can often make larger batches of something for a fraction of the cost of buying that item at the store. Plus, you get to give your friends and family a very personal gift that has been made from start to finish by your own hands, and that’s pretty special!

Here are a few of my favorites that are easy to add to stockings, gift baskets, or just as a standalone gift.

Happy gift making!
