I love making gifts for others whenever I can. Handmade gifts are usually more personal and more meaningful. And they also tend to be much less expensive! I’ve pulled together 50 of the best DIY gifts under ten dollars I could find. (And some of them are much less than $10.) There are gift ideas for friends, sisters, men, teens, coworkers, teachers, parents, even a few for babies.
And I’ve included only the very best gift ideas I could find – the ones the people on your list would actually be happy to receive!
