Gift Ideas Worth Making!

It feels that this time of year is full of endless holidays and celebrations, Mother’s Day, Graduations, Weddings, Anniversaries and more. I’m always perusing Pinterest for gifts that are beautiful and unique and, I’ve wanted to publish a post that rounds up a list of 25 projects. I’m happy to announce that I gathered some of my fellow creative friend’s gift ideas, that are all under $20 to make. All these gift ideas are so unique and fun that I think there is something for everybody.

 

| A Note about the Nester |

I have fond memories of my father taking me to the department store and looking for a Mother’s Day gift. I would always buy her a dainty handkerchief with cute embroidered flowers. My dad was a sentimental man when it came to Valentine’s Day and Mother’s Day, but the rest of the year he was the typical father who loved his sports on the weekends!
