Ten Amazing Hand-made Gifts for $10 and Under

Ten handmade gift ideas for $10 and under for the home, including pretty personalized stocking stuffer Christmas ornaments.

We all have the holidays on our minds and choosing gifts is never easy.  This month I chose to concentrate on handmade gift ideas because knowing there is an artist on the other end of a gift makes it so much more special!
I came up with a list of ten amazing hand-made gifts – for $10 and under.  I think some of these would be perfect as stocking stuffers.

For the Home

Here is one gift idea I would personally love to get.  A set of six hand made beeswax pillar candles to make the home smell sweet as honey.  We always have candles burning in our home.

I know you all would have a hard time between “Eat” “Cheers” “Family” “Home” and “Love”!​

These  rusty and rustic letters and numbers would make a great gift idea for your Do It Yourself friend who wants to create their own sign or art.  They even come with pre-drilled holes. They also come in different sizes so you can use them for large or small signs, or even to add numbers on your front door.

A home decor poster with a vintage look and an inspirational Bible verse – this one has got it all.  The only thing missing to make the gift complete is a frame of your liking that you will provide. There are lots of different verses to choose from!

Ornaments

For the friend who loves to travel, why not give them a  Christmas ornament with a sandblasted etching of their favorite place, whether it be a vacation spot or their home away from home. Can you guess what I would want etched on mine?  Yep, it would be Greece!

An ornament reindeer cookie cutter is the perfect gift for the baker in the family.  Not only is the detailing three dimensional but there are many other cutters to choose from. My daughter would love to have these!

​Personalized ornaments never go out of style.  It is a great way to document a family’s history and milestones.  For example the wood house ornament below captures the first Christmas. You can have it personalized to reflect many special moments in your life. They even come in the shape of a key or mark baby’s first Christmas.

​Ok I know I’m going overboard but this is the last one.  I fell down  Santa’s sack,  looking at all those pretty ornaments.

​This one speaks to my farmhouse heart – a combination of rust and lace.  There is also another version with beads.

    1. Thanks Gail, they are all finds and by ordering through Amazon you don’t even have to brave the crowds.

  1. Handmade gifts are always more special than things that are mass produced and you’ve got such a great list here. Love those napkins and the rustified letters. So cool

    1. Those napkins are really special and they come with a number of different words, all hand painted.

  2. I love these ideas, Mary! So many cute things! I love doing handmade gifts, but sometimes it’s hard to come up with unique and inexpensive ideas. Thanks so much for sharing!

  3. These are all wonderful. I’m usually not a big Poinsettia fan. Love the lace and old jingle bell together.
    Enjoy the beginning of your week

  4. Oh, Mary! I was able to pin almost every photo you had to different boards… Perfect ideas for Christmas giving and crafting. <3
    Thanks for some amazing ideas!

  5. Hi Mary, I love that rustic and rusty sign set. It’s different… The personalised Christmas decorations are nice as they would come out year after year and be a reminder of something special. Whether it be a fur baby or a new home.
