5 DIY Gifts for the Holidays

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Emerson chapter.

Here are a few Do-It-Yourself (DIY) ideas that will be sure to please anyone.

1. Hot Cocoa Mix

Who doesn’t love a warm cup of hot chocolate on a snowy winter’s night? Create your own hot chocolate recipe, decorate, and gift! It’s the perfect treat for any holiday enthusiast.

Hot Chocolate Mix:

– 6 1/2 cups powdered milk

– 1 (5 ounce) package non-instant chocolate pudding mix

– 1 cup powdered chocolate drink mix

– 1/2 cup powdered non-dairy creamer

– 1/2 cup confectioners’ sugar

– 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

2. Peppermint Sugar Scrub

Peppermint extract, coconut oil and sugar combine to create an adorable stocking stuffer and a great exfoliator.

Check out the tutorial!

3. Tea Wreath

The holiday season can be stressful. What better way to relax than with a nice warm cup of tea? Create a tea wreath using decorated clothespins and different types of individual packets of teas.

4. Knitted Coasters

This gift is perfect for any new homeowners. These creations only require needles and yarn!

5. Marble Necklaces

These stylish spheres will spice up any outfit! Bake marbles at 325/250 for 20 minutes, immediately place them in ice water to initiate cracking inside the marble and glue caps on with starter rings to create a necklace!
