It's officially Blog-mas! As
such, every Thursday I will introduce a new DIY Christmas present idea. Stay
tuned for some creative gift ideas to come!
To kickoff Blog-mas, the first DIY gift is a contemporary take on
an old classic. It's 25 days of gifts, a spin on the traditional Advent
calendar. Each day until Christmas my boyfriend (aka the lucky recipient of
this DIY) will get a small present. It's a little way of giving a variety of
presents that needn't be too expensive. And he has a surprise each day of
December!
Depending on the items you give, you could actually make a
physical calendar. Here are some cool ones from Diply. As most of my items are
bigger, I am setting them out while he sleeps so he wakes up to a surprise!

This idea can be adapted for anyone you'd like to spoil at
Christmas! You could also try having a beer theme and give a different beer
each day. Other ideas include: shooters, jewelry, nail polish, candy, hair
accessories, or even love notes!
Have fun gifting!
Lots of Love,
Anne
