Arm Knit Blanket with a Fringe
There’s nothing like crafting while watching your favourite television show or in front of the fire on a cool evening. If you’ve never tried arm knitting before, you should definitely give this beautiful Arm Knit blanket a try! Because you’re using such thick yarn, you can knit this blanket up in just an hour or two! I’ve included both printed and video instructions for this one.
Marbled Mug
Limited budget? No problem! You can make this Marbled Mug with a Dollar Store mug and some leftover nail polish in your favourite colors. You can pair this gift with some powdered hot chocolate or tea for a great teacher or neighbour gift. This post also includes 3 more Dollar Store gifts including, a Personalized Notebook, Embellished Winter Hat, and Furry Pom-Pom Slippers!

DIY Infinity Scarf
One of my favourite gifts to give is a DIY infinity scarf. They’re so quick to make (about 15 minutes), and you’ll get the added enjoyment of shopping around for unique and beautiful fabrics! (or is it just me that gets excited about fabric shopping???)
Christmas Cupcake in a Jar
Aren’t cupcakes the cutest little treats ever? I’ve always loved them. I make them for every party we have, and I also like giving them as gifts. Here’s a fun way to give a cupcake to a friend this Christmas – in a sweetly labeled mason jar! This post includes free printable labels for you to use with your favourite cupcake recipe.
