The holidays are a time for giving gifts to friends, family and other important people. Gifting is nice, but it can be rough on the giver’s pocket. According to the National Retail Association, in an annual survey, consumers said they will spend an average $967.13 this year. For some people, spending that much is not possible. This is especially true for college students. Students just don’t have the money to go out and buy gifts for everyone that has meaning in their lives. Instead, college students have the option of building and creating gifts for loved ones.
By using materials like buttons, yarn, string, glue and more, students can create one-of-a-kind gifts that come from the heart. You can create anything from key chains, jewelry, clothing and more. The knowledge of how to make these impressive gifts can be found on platforms such as Facebook, Pinterest and YouTube. Instead of worrying about over-spending on holiday gifts, try making something. The person that receives this gift will know that it came from the heart instead of off a shelf.
