*A Week of Handmade Gifts has been canceled due to lack of interest. Maybe next year!*
I have challenged myself this year to make by hand most of the Christmas gifts we give. These types of gifts are from the heart, involve that precious gift of time, and are generally easier on the pocketbook. In honor of this personal challenge I will be hosting “A Week of Handmade Gifts” from November 30 – December 5.
This meme will be complete with Mr. Linky so that those who want to share their own handmade gifts can do so. Each day will feature a different category so that people who are searching for ideas can easily look them up. The categories will be:
- Christmas-themed Gifts
- Food Gifts
- Gifts for Adults
- Childrens’ Gifts
- Gifts for the Home
- And Miscellaneous gifts
This is a great way for you to showcase what you have personally made to give to others. This will in turn inspire your bloggy friends to make presents as well. Get your children involved, too! Kids love to be hands on and it will show them the importance of thinking of others first.
A few “guidelines”
- The gifts you feature must be homemade in some shape or form. I am not suggesting that you grow your own cotton, spin it into thread, etc., to make a quilt. However it must be put together by you or your family in some fashion.
- You can link up just one day or every day. It’s up to you!
- The post(s) you link up to must be to a specific post about handmade gifts.
- Pictures and tutorials are a huge plus!
- Please do not do your own Mr. Linky. Thanks!
- Please include the Week of Handmade Gifts badge somewhere on your blog. While this is not necessary it does help get the word out. The more people involved, the better the inspiration! You can grab the script for the badge below.
Got you on my calendar and have my post ready! This is exciting and I can’t wait to see the other ideas!
What a great idea! I’m hoping to participate, and I’ll definitely be looking at everyone’s suggestions!
Great idea! Looking forward to it!
