#10 Home Made & Garage Finds
Anything you can whip up in less than 30 minutes, or that you’re not using at home, could make a good white elephant gift.
If you are the artistic type, there are many Christmas craft ideas for gifts that you can try out. Maybe you’ve made a batch of naughty gingerbread men, or a toilet roll Santa. Wrap it up and take it with you to the Christmas party.
And if you are not all that creative, now is the time to get rid of stuff that just sits there in you cupboards, attic or garage. Like that odd looking candle your mother-in-law gave you for your birthday. Who knows, just because you don’t like it, doesn’t mean it won’t be a hit with someone else.
You can really go as silly as you want here, and grab anything from a pair of garden gloves to post-it notes. Whatever you have lying around that you don’t need or want.
The best part about this category, is that it’s completely free. You already have the stuff. All you need is some Christmas wrapping paper, plus maybe a gift tag, and you’re good to go.
