"And the stockings were hung..." Yesterday we featured some awesome Etsy shops and their stocking stuffers, so visit that post if you didn't see it!  Today I'm talking to the DIYers of the world. All of you who want to put that extra special touch to your gift giving. 


Please note as your read, I do not own any of the pictures shown. If you click on the picture, it should take you to the original blog or source. Show these bloggers some love by visiting their blog and pinning!

First up, Homemade Bath Crayons. Who does love to draw in the bathtub? I've been known to steal my kids' bath crayons and write little messages to my husband! Head on over to DIY Natural to see how to make some at home.

One of my favorite gifts to give, Hot Chocolate. These are so easy to put together and a great gift for just about anyone. This blogger even includes an awesome printable for Snowman Soup.

 Another creative way to give hot chocolate, these DIY Chalkboard Mugs. These are so cute! I imagine giving these to my husband and writing little messages for him in the morning.

It was way harder to find a DIY Men's Stocking Stuffer than I thought it would be. Luckily I came across these awesome DIY Meat Rubs!

Then I found a classic stocking stuffer for men, coupon books. These are quick and easy to put together. This blogger even includes a free printable!

Teenagers are always hard to shop for, but you can't go wrong with this cute stocking stuffer! 
 Another generous blogger, she includes a free printable too!

 Or, every teen likes getting money. This makes it a little more giftable. This blogger has a ton of cute ideas for wrapping up money.

Don't forget about mom! Sugar scrubs are perfect for the mom that deserves a nice relaxing treat. This blog had some really great recipes; I'll definitely be revisiting this blog to make some for myself!

This next one was from one of my Silhouette Challenge blog trains and is one of my favorite DIYs. If you don't have a Silhouette, this could easily be done with hole punches. I LOVE it!

Another quick gift for those of you with a die cutter. There are still a lot of us who like to crack open a fresh new book and we definitely need a bookmark in our stockings!

Can't forget to include the jokesters out there. I LOVE this idea.
