On it I have included my top ten gifts for her, gifts for him, gifts for kids and family gifts. I have also included 61 Homemade Gift Ideas.

I may even keep adding ideas to my list and go over 101, as I continue to find great ideas for gifts this year. So bookmark it, pin it, whatever you have to do to remember where the page is so that you have an easy resource for gift giving this year.

I thought to do a gift for others to make the bags that you can heat or freeze to give as gifts. Check out microwavecornbags.com

I’ve known people to use rice before but I’m going to use deer corn to make mine. I think it would be a great homemade gift!

What a fantastic list!!!
I would add a membership to Holistic Moms Network
Coupons for babysitting, homemade meals, house cleaning, etc…
Homemade playdough is a great gift. Much better then the store bought stuff. It is much softer, cheaper, lasts longer and healthier for your kids.

Don’t forget you can get lots of items on craigslist and ebay (to be more green and thrifty) I get my hubbys sports teams and band t-shirts on ebay.

I love the Movie Basket idea. I do this for teenages because I never know what to get them! You can get movie sized boxed candy for $1 at many stores. I add popcorn, a small game and a movie store gift certificate. They have always loved them!

The Bert’s Bees Grab Bag is awesome! Filled with great products at a great price.

Another gift idea for him is a Photo Cube Puzzle. 6 4X6 picutures. 6 2X2 solid wooden cubes (from Michaels or JoAnns). Cut the pics into 2X2 sections (one cut lengthwise and 2 cuts the other way) Use mod podge or some kind of acid free glue to adhear them to the cubes. Glue 1 piece of each picture to 1 side of 1 cube. Make sure there is only 1 piece of each picture on each cube. Then cover each cube with a sealant to seal it in. Let dry. Now each time you put all 6 cubes together you have a complete picture. :) Great Father’s Day gift too!

I just learned how to do iron on transfers….it’s SUPER easy! This is something else I am going to give as gifts. My friends family has a funny family joke. I am going to type it up and put it on a t-shirt for the dad who will love to show it off!

Thanks for such an awesome list Crystal! I am going to pass this onto my friends!

I did those for the men in my life a couple of years ago with rice and cute flannel. They were a hit! Love that idea :)
