Each year, I challenge myself to make and thrift a large portion of our Christmas gifts. My skills continue to improve and I get to pass my lessons on to you, follow along for the 2022 results and let me know in the comments below what you will be making!

I am making a wreath made from vintage pins. It fits inside a picture frame where you can hang it on the wall or prop it up on a table using an easel.

This is one of your best videos. It was so relaxing and full of Christmas spirit and the presents you made are so simple but so beautiful. I loved this!

I think so too. There was happiness. Sometime when I watch your videos, you seem quite sad, even though you smile. I hope that you have found happiness moving forward.

This might be my favorite video. I LOVE your ideas and I think I might be able to create my own gifts as well. Would you ever consider doing a wreath making class? I would definitely pay to participate.

Loved your gift ideas. And I have to compliment you in your music choice. So relaxing and doesn’t compete with your content. Thank you! You are so calming and refreshing.

Oh my gosh your wreath is gorgeous! You're so lucky to have a holly tree.

Everything you do has such a touch of elegance to it! Thank you for the inspiration. I’m going to try the caramel recipe. I usually make homemade fudge for holiday gifts & everyone loves it. I think I’ll pair it with the caramels for something extra special. 🎄

This is the REAL way to celebrate.

Everything looked so beautiful and the thought process was even better. Thank you for sharing.

Your gifts are so lovely! I would squeal with delight to receive any of them. I lost my Mom 4 years ago, I love the idea of the towel with one of her recipes on it. You are so talented, what a beautiful video.

So lovely! This was an amazing video! Lucky are the recipients of your beautiful gifts!

You have an Excellent Spirit, for sure!!! It’s absolutely beautiful everything you do….!!!!

I love the calmness of your video the gifts are so heartwarming and beautiful. Thanks for sharing

What beautiful and thoughtful gift ideas! Thank you for sharing!

Hi, just found you. Beautiful, sophisticated DIY creations. You're a breath of fresh air and my go to for inspiration and when feeling sympatico.

Everything was lovely, simple and thoughtful.

Sweet girl! I could watch you make gifts all year long! What a lovely video and the most heart-felt gifts… thank you ❤

Lovely , thoughtful and practical gift ideas! Relaxing video💖🎄‼️

Praying that all is good with you (especially) and yours!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼

Those are all lovely and thoughtful gifts. Thank you for the inspiration.

What a lovely video!!!! I hope you keep doing this kind of video. It was truly inspiring. Thank you!

Oh my goodness, you were able to elevate everything. What lovely thoughtful gifts. I'll definitely be making a few of these. I also make lots of homemade dog treats and put them in decorative bags as party favors for my family (lots of dog and cat owners). Wonderful sharing of ideas ❤❤

Sarah, Everything you do is so lovely. I too have a wonderful recipe hand written by my father who is no longer with us. I was so inspired by that particular gift idea to make for his siblings this Christmas. ♥ I so enjoy your beautiful and thoughtful ideas! Thank you and have a blessed Christmas season!

Hi! This video is FABULOUS!! I love it so much!! Thank you for all the darling ideas and you look so pretty!! I hope you have a wonderful week!! :)

This was an amazing gift idea video. Best I have ever seen. Thank you for sharing 💕

Thank you Sarah for the thoughtful gift ideas. I love the "doilies as dish cloths" idea. (One of the reasons your matches may not strike on sand paper might be because they're safety matches. This type will only strike on the striker from the box.)

Yes!!! It's such a blessing to give homemade gifts... That's what I rounded up, today! Homemade Cocoa mix, PeanutBrittle and Cookies for Santa! Now, you've added more precious ideas for me!!! Merry Christmas....

This is absolutely lovely. I noticed your mom's beautiful cursive writing on her recipe. My favorite recipes from my mother in law were written in cursive. She passed a long time ago but her recipes live on... Your packaging is exquisitely simple and classic. Your sister will love that tea towel. What a thoughtful gift.

Absolutely beautiful! Every last one! Genius

I make caramels every year for my mother in law since they're her favorite and banana bread. This year I'm attempting pickled beets as well.

Love your warmhearted crafts for friends and family. I’m going to try your caramels and I was going to donate a linen table cloth but now I’m going to make some sentimental towels with my mothers hand written recipes. Thank you. I also love your couched wash cloths. Warmth and love to you

You are such a dear person. Your sweet spirit is so evident in your videos. How incredibly special it was to use your mom's recipe to create the tea towel for your sister. That first Christmas after losing my mom was so hard. 15 Christmases without her and still it is is always bittersweet. You and your family are in my prayers. We keep going don't we? And that Honors them

Thank you so much, I love your perspective on our mamas. xoxo

Hello These are the best diy gifts I have seen. They are so elegant. Have such good ideas. Thank you!! Have a Blessed Christmas 🎄 ❤

New here and loved all your ideas! Best video for homemade gifts! That wreath is stunning! Thanks for sharing!

Love these Ideas. I was trying to think of low-cost friend gifts. I believe the candles will be great:)

Beautiful work, and the music is great. Keep up the good work !!

Really lovely - such sweet and thoughtful gifts! I can tell that giving is one of your special gifts - the thought and care you put into each one is just so evident! Lovely job - and very inspiring! It's a 'spend nothing' Christmas for this year so I'm looking around for things I can do to bless others!

I love your holly reef... it is beautiful! I have just started watching your channel and I feel very inspired. I have been watching Cami’s from Tidbits for a couple of years and when she shared your video I came over to check it out. Thank you for the gift ideas... I do some baking and share it as gifts. Looking forward to watching more of your videos. Merry Christmas!

I hope you had a lovely Christmas, too, Beverly! Welcome from Cami's channel!

I loved all of your ideas and the end products look so elegant! Ty for the inspiration!

This is the best DIY gift inspiration video

You have such a sweet gentle spirit. Thank you for sharing your talent of putting together beautiful and tasty gifts. My mom made the Christmas caramels every year. Her memory is failing so the past two years she has not made them. You've inspired me to continue this tradition.❤

Sarah, you did such a beautiful job. Those kinds of gifts are the BEST! gifts! They’re gifts that are homemade & made from the heart. And that’s what makes them the best! It’s also what Christmas should be all about. That’s the Spirit of Christmas!!! I think that’s what the whole world needs right now. Peace, Love & the Spirit of Christmas. Hope you’re doing better regarding your mom’s passing. She’s happy in heaven in her new house & with her relatives & friends. They’re all probably celebrating Christmas with a big bash all month & every one’s happy. Then one day we’ll all join them soon. God bless. Merry Christmas Sarah, to you & your Family & Happy New Year.

I wish I were your neighbor or friend. I would love to get one of your DIY gifts. So fun. Blessings.

For the matches, it works better if you buy the big box of matches & cut strips off of that, it'll last longer. Also, the holly wreath is nice, just remind whoever receives it, that the berries are poisonous, in case they hang it inside & have curious kids or pets.

Lovely ideas, so beautiful and thoughtful. I've wanted to do holidays DIYs but just didn't know where to start .. these are wonderful gifts! 💕

Everything you do is so well done.

Thank you so much. Wonderful video and fantastic ideas. It is nice to see ideas that are doable.

Thank you for the great inspiration! It is always Fun to spice it up and make new things for dear friends!

You make everything so beautiful. Great ideas!

Each one of these items I would be thrilled to be on the receiving end of. Beautiful, organic, elegant in their simplicity. Thank you for sharing your creativy with us Sarah! One of my fave Vlogs.

❤️ Everything is so very beautiful ❤️ Thank you for the inspiration. ❤️

LOVE all these ideas! Thank you!

Such Beautiful handmade gifts 🎄

Ohh Sarah, how precious these gifts are. I love homemade gifts elevating them and getting back to basics. I marvel at your ideas, love the soups and bread 🥖 gift, simply perfect for winter. I love buying vintage teacups/mugs inexpensively and adding loose tea, chai, bars of chocolate for hot cocoa, or a small bag of flavored coffee. Tie it up in a doily or without a doily with a grosgrain ribbon, just lovely! You are such a delight….Merry Christmas!🎄 Feliz Navidad! 🙏🏽🎄

I just love your videos, no matter what they're about. You have such a calm, sweet demeanor that is beautiful to see.

Some great ideas thank you very much. I have always wanted to make caramels and never had the nerve to follow a recipe and see how I do. I was so surprised to see your mothers handwriting. It is so similar to my Mother’s. It’s actually made my heart jump to see it somewhere other than my Mother’s recipe cards. Thank you for your great gift giving.

I would love those vifts. Beautifully presented, and made with love! Gorgeous ribbon for the win!

How absolutely PERFECT! So lovely. This might be my favorite video of yours so far. Simply gorgeous. I loved EVERYTHING !

These are so beautiful, I love all of them!

Thank you Sarah ❣️ All wonderful & beautiful gift ideas! I’ll be implementing at least one for this year. 🥰

Love all the gifts ideas and the music was perfect,thank you

I did this matchstick in a jar idea a couple of years ago and ordered little self adhesive dots of striking pieces online. Then I just attached them to the bottom of various vessels. Thank you for the candle making tips. I want to do that!

Oh. My. Goodness. This is Gorgeous!! So soothing to watch and listen to as well. Your ideas and packaging are stellar.

Everything was just beautiful! Just so sincere and heartfelt to give gifts such as these

I love these creative and beautiful gift idea videos!!

I love the hand towel

Absolutely stunning!!! Gorgeous. Love all the packaging and ways you used what you had around the house.

Absolutely fabulous and so beautifully presented. You've captured so much of what's on many of our minds this Christmas, and inspired us to be even more creative. God bless

I found Coasters all over in sets of 3 or 4, both round and square, heavy, made mostly stone or stone look resin, with ugly pictures or prints on top. I covered these with photos I took or spray painted or embroidered tops, and clear shellacked or covered with decorators finish. The sets were on average $2 and the photos etc ran me no more than $3. ❤

Oh boy, Sarah. I am going to make the candles and match jar and I have ordered the pinecone cookie mold. Even if I do not make cookies, I love pinecones and the mold will look awesome displayed. Also, neighbors are going to receive minestrone soup. Love these ideas. Thank you very much.

Loved this video. I have made candied pecans, cheese crackers and fudge to give as gifts. Stamped tea towels. I loved watching you make candles and plan to learn that craft . All your gifts were very nice and thoughtful. I hope you are doing well. God’s blessings to you and yours.

I love these ideas. This was so fun to watch ❤

So lovely. Great ideas
