What an awesome and creative list!
Thanks for adding my tutorial. 🙂
Thanks so much for another great list. There will be many luck, happy kids with these wonderful gifts.
Thanks for the great list. There’s so much here that would be great for gifts for teens and adults, too.
Kind of strange, though, that many of the projects are listed as being for boys, even though they’d be great for any gender. I know you’re just reposting the titles, of course. But it’s always dismaying to see the “pink ghetto” of girls toys is widespread in the diy world.
I guess the best thing to do is for me to roll up my sleeves and make some of these for my kids of both genders (like that awesome ruler belt)!
Awesome round up! Thanks for including my Princess Hat Tutorial!
I love all of your amazing handmade DIY collections. Thanks for taking the time to put them together, and for sharing them. ;o)
What a great list. Thank you for including my lap desk tutorial on it!!! 🙂 What a nice surprise!

WOW!!! Looking for ideas for making gifts this year as $ is tight. Came upon this link through Pinterest! What a life saver…can’t wait to try the handmade pencils! Really excited about the list for boys…hard to find something that isn’t ‘pretty in pink’.
Hi!! What a great list!! I’ll be featuring this tomorrow on our weekly linky party.

Thank you so much for including some of my projects!
You had some? If so then thanks.
Hello, I think your site might be having browser compatibility issues.
When I look at your website in Chrome, it looks fine but when
opening in Internet Explorer, it has some overlapping. I just
wanted to give you a quick heads up! Other then that, awesome
blog!
Allie – Thanks for the heads up. We checked the blog from different browsers but couldn’t find a problem. Sometime we have ads on the site that expand when you roll over them. That might be what happened.
Thanks for stopping by!
