Frequently Asked Questions

  1. QUESTION:
    What are some nice DIY Christmas gift ideas?
    I'm a poor college student. I need gifts that are easy and cheap to make and/or buy for my friends, family, and boyfriend.

    • ANSWER:
      Sounds like you need a stop at the dollar store.

      Seriously, they have EVERYTHING there; from ornaments to Christmas crackers, cards to stickers, even guinea pig food to escargot (ew). Look around; they surely have some cheap stuff to buy (and believe me, the stuff doesn't even look cheap!)

      Some good craft ideas:

      Younger kids (aged 10 or less)
      - Kool aid vases - Take multi kool aid flavors/colour and pour them into a cheap clear vase; creates a chic look which can be used if the kid likes to drink Kool aid.
      - Personalized door tags - Just buy one of those foam things that hand from door handles and decorate it with stickers, foam letters, etc.
      - Goodie bag - Fill it with cheap treats and thrills, like candy, homemade snacks, toys, stickers, coupons, etc.

      Teens (13 and up)
      - Retro Record Pics - Find a record out there (thrift stores, garage sales, etc) and buy a record (really cheap, can sometimes be like [FAQ-ANSWER].10!!!) Frame it or attach some string to it so it can be hung.
      - Lighthouse - For when they stay up at night and secretly read (lol, more like secretly text) Buy a small light and stick it in a cylinder of cardboard. Stuff a cheap cup under it. Wrap red and white tape around the sides of the tube. Place a plastic cup bottom on the top to finish the effect.
