If you plan early enough, making your own one-of-a-kind gifts can be very rewarding and help you stretch your shopping budget. Being a little crafty and blessed with talent probably comes naturally to most who are bitten by the DIY bug, but finding a fresh, new idea to create can sometimes halt your enthusiasm. Take a quick break and find some extra room on your bookshelf for the newest pattern, recipe and idea books to light your creative fire. Most everything here also makes a great gift to give away too!
