Krista I adored this post! I didn’t buy any gifts this season, but these are wonderful for birthdays when I’d like to. I especially like the votive idea.

JUST WAIT until you get addicted to making votives and people start to hint that they want one at you!!

The writing here is so funny and relatable that until I saw the dollar sign I didn’t realize you were American! ( please take that for the compliment it is)

I love the votive candle idea!! I only own one, and it has art on it from my local Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence chapter. I really like the “hopes for the new year” one, specifically. It seems so sweet!

Also: never discount the power of a cute card (perhaps handmade??) and a heartfelt message!!

love this bc oh my god gift guides make me feel way more broke than i probably actually am what is up with that!!

my favorite DIY gift is a record bowl - get a cheapo old record from the thrift store, melt it on low over a bowl in the oven, take it out and floop the edges so it looks cute, let it harden and voila, cute new bowl!
