Homemade Christmas gifts are excellent ways to say "You're special". Since time is the most valuable thing you can give in life, by spending time making a homemade Christmas gift you're telling your loved ones "I'm spending my time thinking of you." If nothing else, they will appreciate the effort!

Now, homemade Christmas gifts don't have to be expensive. They just have to be personalized.

The best homemade Christmas gifts are ones that the recipient will treasure and have the personality of the creator in them as well. This way, every time the recipient sees the homemade Christmas gift they'll think of the creator and the time spent making this personalized homemade Christmas gift. We've put together a list of unique homemade Christmas gifts that you can make for your loved ones this holiday season.

Homemade Moonshine

Distilling homemade corn whiskey like the Rum Runners of old is a great way to say, "I love you more than life itself." What better way to get into the holiday spirit than with holiday spirits? Distilling your very own brand of homemade moonshine will make you shine above the other holiday gift-giving crowd.

Homemade Wreath

What better way to ring in the holiday spirit, than will a homemade wreath? And the best part about this homemade Christmas gift is that you can make it for free. Simply climb a tree and find a bird's nest (or for the adventurous type, climb a rock face to an eagle's or condor's nest), shoo away the birds, toss the eggs and retrieve the nest. Next, add some holly and a few leaves from your backyard, hang it on your loved one's front door and you're done.

Homemade Brownies

You don't have to be Martha Stewart to make homemade brownies. All you need is chocolate, flour, sugar, reefer and a happy holiday baking spirit. Your homemade brownies will have the whole neighborhood talking and will leave the recipients begging for more.

Homemade Clay Ashtray

While making a clay ashtray may not be an expensive homemade Christmas gift, it is certainly one made with time and care. Who cares if none of your loved ones smokes? It's the thought that counts. Well, its not really the thought that counts since if you would have thought about it much you probably would have bought them something they really like rather than giving them a cheap clay ashtray for gosh sakes. But if you're into cheap homemade Christmas gift giving then a clay ashtray may be just up your alley. Or just give them a Clay Aiken and call it a day.
