We love making gifts for each other at Christmas time. I like to encourage this with my kids especially since it makes the gifts much more meaningful. This year I am collecting a bunch of kid-made gift ideas that could be made for parents, grandparents, cousins or siblings. Also check out my post on homemade gifts for kids (that YOU can make).
