Just remember to STAY AWAY FROM HOLIDAY-THEMED GIFTS
Now,
These gifts are great, easy DIYs for the winter season, so let's dive in...
- The Picture Frame. It doesn't matter if you have a picture of you with the recipient or the recipient's family... or no picture at all, you can make any picture frame special for a gift. You can put a picture inside or a phrase or saying or something that reminds you of the recipient. Walmart even prints photos on canvases for you! Some great examples:
