It’s that time of year again: the holidays are right around the corner and you may not be able to decide what to get your friends, family and significant others.

If you’re looking for the perfect holiday gift that won’t burst your purse strings but will definitely amaze your recipient then fret no more.

Here is a homemade holiday how-to to get you started.

Jewelry Frame

Supplies:
 One wooden frame of any size with no backing
 Chicken wire
 Hot glue gun

Directions:
I suggest picking a frame of about 12 inches. Buy your backless wooden frame, and then take it with you to purchase the chicken wire. This step will ensure that you get the perfect amount.

Decorating the wooden frame with quotes or patterns is a great idea but not necessary.

Once you have your supplies and your frame is decorated and dry, hot glue the chicken wire to the back of the frame.

The jewelry frame then will be able to hang from the wall by the wire.

The frame works well on the walls of small bedrooms and bathrooms. It’s also great for hanging earrings and necklaces that you don’t want tangled up in a jewelry box.

Another holiday gift idea is personalized gift baskets.

These baskets can be decorated with holiday flair and filled with your recipients’ favorite magazines, treats and pictures. They are simple to create and make for a great holiday surprise.

Other easy homemade gifts include making mug mixes by decorating a mug or cocktail glass and inserting packaged ingredients for hot chocolate or margaritas. Ribbon bulletin boards can turn your ordinary bulletin board into a gift with cris-crossed ribbon, sweet confections and funky, personalized photo frames.

But, if crafting and cooking are not your forté, and you’re still in need of a cheap, thoughtful gift, check out Kodak.com and choose from the array of photo gifts – everything from magnets and mugs to calendars and coasters.

Picture gifts are always meaningful and last a lifetime.

Other Web sites, such as redenvelope.com, amazon.com and gifts.com, are helpful in leading you in the right direction.

Gifts.com is especially useful in finding the perfect gift for anyone on your list.

There, you can shop by personality and the site will narrow down your choices by “going shopping” for you.

It finds the perfect gifts based on a questionnaire you complete about your recipient.

Gifts on the Web site range from cookbooks and designer sunglasses for young women to cocktail recipe books and personalized golf balls for young men.

Other holiday gifts sure to impress include magazine subscriptions, gift certificates to restaurants and tickets to concerts.
