### A dash of this, a sprinkle of that and you have homemade gifts for the holidays!

Homemade holiday gifts don't have to be complicated or costly. To show you how quick and easy DIY gifts can be, we challenged our Design Team to create homemade gifts in less than 20 minutes!  We also challenged them to spend less than $20!  From homemade candy and lotions to home decor, our designers have some great DIY gift ideas that can be made any time of the year.

We hope you'll be surprised with their homemade gift ideas!  Click on each designer's name to view their homemade gift.  Go ahead, get extra creative this holiday season. :-)
