The holidays can be an expensive and very stressful time. Between the holiday parties, decorations, family get-togethers, and money spending.

The best holiday gifts to me are the ones that are thoughtful and/or homemade.

I have a lot of coworkers so last year I made a bunch of these cute Hershey Kisses Christmas Trees.

 

Here is an extensive list of DIY holiday gifts that are cheap to make that are perfect gift ideas for family, friends, coworkers, and even your pets.
