Homemade Birthday Gifts - Ideas for Wonderful Presents Made at Home

Are you seeking inspiration for homemade birthday gifts and presents?

Sometimes, the best birthday gifts are homemade. When you can think of nothing that seems to be the perfect fit for a birthday gift and nothing you can buy will be the right gift, it might be time to start flexing your creative muscles and think of something you can make yourself.

Much of the time when we think of homemade birthday presents, we think of the cute little crafts we made for our parents when we were in kindergarten, but times have changed and so have your talents.

• For the chef or gardener in your life, consider something a little earthier, such as a windowsill herb garden. This is an inexpensive homemade birthday gift that will last as long as your recipient continues to water it. You can choose from many different types of containers, from metal to terra cotta, just make sure that you drill holes in the bottom if there are none, for proper drainage. Decorate the pots in any way you like and choose your herbs. For an added touch, you can add tags with the names of the herbs and what foods they taste good in.
  
  
• You might also want to consider giving a mini scrapbook with photos of some of your best times with the birthday guy or girl. This is especially a fun gift for those "best girl friends" that you have spent so many good times with.
  
  
• Need more ideas for homemade birthday gifts? Photo collages are a really fun way to use all those great pictures you have sitting on your computer but haven't used.
  
  
• Do you know how to sew? Consider making a homemade quilt. While this is time consuming, it can be just what your loved one is looking for to help them stay cozy and warm all the time. Plus, since homemade quilts are something to treasure, you can guarantee that your loved one will think of you every time they use these homemade birthday gifts.
  
  
• Custom printed, laminated and bound coupon books are always a great gift. Save yourself some money and consider what your recipient wants that you can do on your own, such as a dinner cooked by you, one free house cleaning or, if this is for someone really special, you can throw in some intimate coupons for a massage or weekend get-a-way.
  
  
• If you're giving a homemade birthday gift from children, you may want to help the kids in your life to make a customized picture frame. Complete it with that special photo of the creator of the frame and the loved one receiving the gift and you're sure to be giving a birthday gift that they will love for years to come.

Homemade birthday gifts are not only a great way to save a ton of money, but they are a wonderful way to show your loved one how much you really care about them and their birthday. No matter what your talent or what interests your birthday guy or girl has, you can come up with some really fabulous ideas for a homemade birthday present that they will love for years to come.
