10 DIY Gifts {That You Can Make in Under One Hour!}

Hello!

Did you have a great Thanksgiving?

I definitely did! My in-laws were in town and I managed not to burn down the house while preparing our Thanksgiving meal. So that is a win in my book.

Now that Thanksgiving is over, I feel like I can really turn my attention to Christmas preparations. Yay! Since my shopping list is a little longer than usual this year, I searched around for some fun DIY gift ideas that can be made relatively inexpensively and in under an hour. Perfect for the time and cash-strapped folks like myself!  10 DIY Gifts
I think you’re going to love these!

    I love that wood burned cutting board… and I actually have a burnishing tool so I could do this! Cute idea to wrap it with a few treats. I think it would be a perfect hostess gift…
