Handmade gifts always carry a story.
Share a project you’ve made for someone special — it could be for a friend, family member, or even yourself. Think of holiday gift sets, handmade packaging, greeting cards, thank-you tags, or small items you’ve made to give as a token of love or friendship.
So this was a mug gift I made using sublimation for a dear friend. I drew two gecko friends in Adobe fresco. She loves geckos. Then I found some friend poems and wrote this one. I also drew another gecko and made her this card. She uses it every day for her coffee. . This is the reason I love crafting. So you can create something that’s totally unique and personalized for the receiver
My niece wants money for a music festival as a birthday present, so I made a card with the festival’s logo to hold the money and a box from the library to put it in.
I made gender reveal mugs with onesies for a friend of mine a while ago so she could make a simple video to post on fb. She wanted something different and I had fun making them.
Then more recently for a baby shower I made a cute mini license plate and put it on a mini wagon I also made a wood motorcycle…. Ok I made a whole set of items but that’s the fun of crafting when you can’t find what your looking for you can just make it then they have one of a kind items!
Good morning everyone! I love seeing the creativity in this community. My Day 3: is a Christmas ornament that I made for friends that just bought a new home. It’s my very first ceramic engraving! I was so happy that they loved the gift and it definitely made my day as much as it made theirs. These are the things I love doing. The ones that deeply touches someone’s heart.
I wanted to share a few of the handmade gifts I worked on this season
The black sweater was something I made for someone who gifted it to herself featuring her adorable pup (definitely one of my favorites).
The UV DTF glass cans were for her coworkers, a little pick-me-ups they could use every day.
The mini 2025 desk calendars were gifted by one of our customer to his nursing classmates, simple, practical, and heartfelt (and yes, it’s almost time to start making the 2026 ones ).
Then there’s the tote and fanny pack set made for company employees, and the personalized notebooks gifted to friends for Christmas.
It’s always special seeing how handmade gifts carry a bit of love and story in each piece.
I made these cute gift card holders and notebooks to give to my daughter’s teachers, as appreciation for all they do for the kids, and they love them!!
The other day I showed you the gift I made for my husband in our 8th anniversary, but then, I wanted to made some more destila and I made a Bookmark with this special phrase: “Tu Familia es un Regalo” “Your Family its a gift” These words themselves say much more, you have a gift every day at Home!
Handmade with heart (and a little laughter)!
I made these cute Cluck, Oink, and Moo boards to give to my sister, but I had to keep them to display in my shop. I cut them on my laser and painted each one by hand — my first time painting since school days! I was so proud of how they turned out, especially since I’ve always joked that I couldn’t even draw a straight stick man. It felt amazing to step out of my comfort zone and create something that makes people smile.
