Affordable Christmas Gift Idea #2: Hygge Gift Basket

I talked a bit about the concept of hygge in this gift ideas post:

The word hygge (pronounced hue-gah) is a Danish word that doesn't have an English equivalent but can best be described as "coziness for the soul." It is a word used to describe a feeling or moment when there is intimacy within the home, with others, and with oneself. While it's not something that can be purchased, it can be cultivated by creating the right ambiance.

This gift basket includes a furry toss pillow, cozy blanket, honeycomb stemless glasses, and bottle of wine. Just add a warm fire and a friend! Depending on how much you choose to spend on the bottle of wine, this gift basket can be pulled off for under $50!

Affordable Christmas Gift Idea #5: Sentimental Photo Gift Idea

Several years ago I created a mason jar picture frame vase which was a huge hit on my blog! You can find that tutorial here. Inspired by that idea, I turned a hurricane candle holder into a cute picture frame. Safety note: This craft idea should only be used with low wattage LED candles and never with an open flame.

To create your own, simply print out your photo on tracing paper and place inside the candle holder. I folded the edge of my 9×12 paper to fit the printer.

Once printed you can trim your picture to size if needed. Mine fit perfectly as-is. Place an additional sheet of tracing paper in the back of the hurricane to cover the perimeter of the holder. I didn't use anything to attach my paper to the glass, but you could use some small pieces of double sided tape. Place an LED candle in the candle holder and you're done! Note: The picture can easily be removed at a later time if your gift recipient would rather just use the candle holder in a traditional manner.
