Carols, fruit mince pies, presents and family. With all the excitement Christmas brings, the process of trying to find the perfect gift for everyone can be stressful! This year, ditch the shopping centre crowds and make it a DIY Christmas. Not only will it make your loved one feel extra special, with less packaging the planet will thank you too. Win, win! Even better, look for items around the house that can be upcycled and reinvented for a cost-effective yet unique gift idea.
Here are some DIY projects we would love to receive this festive season.
