Homemade Christmas Gift Ideas – Plus TV Segment
I had a wonderful time at Great Day Houston a few weeks back when I went to film a segment on Homemade Christmas Gift Ideas for Southern Living. Below is the segment if you’d like to see it. After that, be sure and scroll down for easy and inexpensive ideas for some homemade gifts that would be great for children, co-workers, faculty, and more!
To see the full list of recipes I used in this segment and more photographs of the crafts we made, click here to visit my blog on Southern Living.com.

I did a whole series of posts back when I first started blogging. Check out the great recipes along with package ideas below!
Note: I took these photos three years ago. I have now set a personal goal to take better photos this year 
S’more’s kits
These are so much fun to make and cute as a button to gift! They are economical enough to allow your child to make one for every member of their class. Also great for co workers, grandchildren, and anyone else who has a love of chocolate and marshmallow goodness! Includes printable tags.
We make these assembly line style and let the kids pass them out to every member of faculty at their schools!
Homemade Hot Chocolate Mix and Snowman Soup Kits (Includes printable tags) – Homemade Hot Chocolate mix is easy and DELICIOUS! Plus, this post is just too precious because I wrote it two years ago and my kids just look so little!
These are just a few of my homemade gift ideas you might enjoy. There are plenty more on SouthernPlate.com and more to come this season!
Gratefully,
Christy

enjoyed watching your segment very much. Good ideas. Thank you.
I found some plates and glass pieces at the thrift store this morning, now to figure out how to glue them together!!!
Loved your segment….great ideas.
Great show, found some great gifts and many ideas, thank you so much…
Loved the ideas! Our Christmas angel watched with me and I think we’ll be finding a message on how to share with others really soon! You were fantastic!
You were so cute!
You are the best .i wish you had your own tv show. It would beat Paulas. Great job
I love your Southern Plate newsletter! I think I’ll try the “Snowman Soup” idea for my 2 small grandsons as part of their gift this year. I would love to be able to watch your segments on TV but alas I only have basic, basic cable and that means only local stations with a couple of stations such as QVC. So I really read your newsletters. Keep them coming!

Those ideas were so simple but do doable. We need to really think outside the box during these economic times and use ‘make-do’ items around the house or bought cheap at thrift stores or dollar stores. If it’s from the heart people always enjoy the gift. Thank you for sharing your ideas and your heart. Go Christy!
I enjoyed watching you and all your fun Christmas ideas!
Sure enjoyed the segment, great ideas! Thanks much!!
Ok I just have to tell you my husband loved your pecan pie and your make in the pan crust so much he made me make him another one last night! Its half gone! Thanks so much hugs
Christy you look so pretty and your ideas are so wonderful! Makes us Southern gals look so smart.
Thanks for the post. I loved it!
A great, yet very inexpensive gift you can make is personalized chocolate bar. It is a gift you can give your child’s classmates, co-workers, friends and neighbors.
Buy chocolate bars, take their wrappers off (leave the internal silver wrapping). Create a wrapper template using your computer, scrap book or stamping skills – Add a family photo and write “Merry Christmas from the…”, “Happy Holidays” or make each family member hold a letter or a word from a short saying, take a photo and add it to the template.
Great segment!
The segment was great. Thanks for all the great gift ideas.
Thank you so much Nancy!!
Great ideas! Love to watch you (and listen to you) on the TV!
