7 Easy Peasy Crochet Projects For Christmas Giving
Author's photo

I made it my goal sometime ago to crochet Christmas Gifts whenever possible. Personalized gifts from the heart are often the best and handmade can be cost effective.

Initially though, I had no idea what I could make as gifts other than scarves. Now I know crochet designers have thought of everything. So I pinned ideas for almost everyone on my list and got an early start. Here I'll show you some of the the items I plan on making this year:

1. Coffee Cup Gift Card Holder

Leave it to Sarah at repeatcrafterme.com to think of everything like this cute mug gift card holder! I know a lot of people feel that gift cards are what you get people whom you have no idea how to shop for; well that's true. BUT, crocheting the holder itself is personalized right? I can't wait to try this pattern!

2. Santa Gift Card Holder

Then for any other gift cards other than to a coffee shop there's this cute free pattern from a creator on Ravelry.

3. Gifting Wine

Gifting Wine can be more fun if it's dressed up for the occasion! Isn't it cute? The last time I made this for someone she said, "I want to give this to someone now!"

4. Hats for Everyone

A basic hat pattern can be so versatile and with a guide to every size you can make one for every person on your list. Pick their favorite colors, add a pom pom, maybe pick out an embellishment, or leave it simple for a guy. This free pattern is also great for beginners.

5. Scarf to Match

This free pattern is so easy you don't even have to print it out. Just pin it or write the 4 steps in your notebook and hop to it. As the blogger from life after laundry puts it, just repeat the last step until you run out of yarn or reach desired length. It doesn't get more beginner friendly than that!

6. Panda Hat

I've already made a couple of these and plan on girly-ing them up with a crocheted flower to pin by the ear. I'm in love with them. This free pattern is also fairly beginner friendly.

7. Coffee Cup Coasters

Lastly I want to try something that can be useful year round such as coasters! Here is another free pattern you can whip up as stocking stuffers or a complimentary gift. Pick any color to match the home decor.

I hope you've enjoyed this list and find inspiration to create personal touches in your holiday gift giving. If you start early enough, Christmas doesn't have to be stressful. It should be the most wonderful time of the year. You're sure to create some smiles with any of these hand crocheted treasures.

To The Girls With "Daddy Issues," You Are Worthy Of The Love He Never Gave You

You are not alone.

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.

Why Blair Waldorf Is The Realest Bitch To Ever Live

XOXO, Gossip Girl.

Blair Waldorf Quote
"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

1. The awkward hellos on move-in day.

Awkward Icarly GIFfrom Awkward GIFs

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!

The college years are a time for personal growth and success. Everyone comes in with expectations about how their life is supposed to turn out and envision the future.

Here are some helpful reminders about life in college.
