Growing up my Mom always encourage my sister and I to create handmade gifts for our family and friends. I remember feeling proud about giving the gift because I had helped create it. To me it is not about spending money but about the love and thought put into the gift. I hope to give Lil B and M-Woww these same values.
Homemade does not mean you have to use expensive materials or spend a lot of time. Here are 10 easy ways to help your kids get started on making their own gifts to give this season. Be sure to check out our BIG holiday giveaway at the bottom of the post. What a great way to kick off the holiday season!
