Can you feel the holiday spirit<\/a>? I sure can! It\u2019s the most magical time of the year as Andy Williams<\/a> would sing and I totally agree with him. My family likes to huddle together drinking hot chocolate<\/a> with marshmallows as we watch How the Grinch Stole Christmas<\/em>. It\u2019s just one of those holiday traditions<\/a> we do every year and that I look forward to. There\u2019s also the delicious dinners that mom makes for Hanukkah<\/a> and Christmas<\/a>.\u00a0 Once we finish eating, we like to exchange presents<\/a>. I love making my friends and family DIY gifts<\/a> because not only are they more thoughtful, but they\u2019re also fun to make.<\/p>\n

Mom and Dad<\/h2>\n

Bring out your inner Martha Stewart to create these awesome gifts for mom and dad. Crafting<\/a> them will remind you of your days back in elementary school<\/a> when you couldn\u2019t wait to see your parents\u2019 reaction when they saw your masterpiece. If your mom loves flowers<\/a>, this \u201cspecial\u201c bouquet<\/a> will touch her heart and bring back memories of you growing up. You can make her a flower bouquet<\/a> using pictures of you as a little kid and even add recent pictures to show how you\u2019ve grown over the years. The gift itself will last forever just like memories.<\/p>\n\n

Dad love getting coffee<\/a> in the morning? Look no further than by making him his personal coffee mug<\/a>. Every time he drinks out of it, he\u2019ll remember how special his cup is because you made it specifically for him<\/a>. You can buy a mug<\/a> from your local dollar store and decorate it with Sharpie markers<\/a>. Choose design<\/a> or write down a favorite moment with your dad. It\u2019ll definitely make him enjoy his coffee a lot more.<\/p>\n

Siblings<\/h2>\n

Not only do we share toys<\/a> and clothes<\/a>, but we also share DNA. That\u2019s right, I\u2019m talking about our siblings!\u00a0Growing up we\u2019ve gone through so much together, so it\u2019s only fair that we give them something specially made for having to put up with us. We\u2019re all in the same family<\/a>, so why not tell the world about it? Make your brother or sister a customized shirt<\/a> sporting your last name or a family inside joke you may have. For example, this holiday season I\u2019m going to make my siblings<\/a> a t-shirt that says Team Greene<\/a>. Now you and your sibling can wear your matching shirts at your next family reunion.<\/a><\/p>\n

Friends<\/h2>\n

Our friends<\/a> are our long lost siblings that by fate brought us together. We\u2019ve shared so many memories<\/a> that we honestly don\u2019t know what we\u2019d do without them. They\u2019ve seen us at our best and at our worst. Yet, they\u2019ve stuck by our side this whole time. If you and your bestie have a long distance friendship, make them \u201copen when<\/a>\u201d envelopes. This is perfect for when they\u2019re going through a hard moment<\/a> and you can\u2019t be there physically for them. Instead, they\u2019ll have your wisdom and it\u2019ll be like you were always there.<\/p>\n\n
