I am looking for some creative and original gifts that I can make here from home to give to my relatives and friends. I need gift ideas for my grandma, my brother who is 27, my sister who is 23, my mom and dad. If you have any ideas they are welcome. And, if you have a website that you got it from that would be even better. Thank you so much.

I went to a bead store yesterday, and saw some small clutch evening purses that had been hand beaded. They were really pretty. The design was not complicated, and they were all multi-colored.
The price tag was $65. Craft stores carry the frame and the material as a kit for the purses.
I used my browser, and typed in craft purses, and there were many. I went to Biz rate, they had several frames.
You could make them in any color, black, gold, red, or the multi I saw.
I do not know of many craft projects for men, just hand embroidered handkerchiefs, or a golf towel, or stamped golf balls.

Do you have pictures from last Christmas of all of you? You could make little paper bag albums or other little 6x6 albums made from just page protectors with a cover on them.
Go to your local scrapbook store, they probably have out samples or have classes scheduled.
I already have mine done for this Christmas and Id be happy to send you pictures if you'd like me to : )
There are several ways to make little "special occasion" albums that just take a few pieces of paper and some embellishments.
You can also buy a candle from Walmart and decorate it with a little picture or two, metal words from the scrapbook store and so on.
I think anything handmade and personalized with pictures is even better : )

What about gifts in a jar? Like a complete soup mix,or a cookie recipe,(I am talking about the ones where you put everything in the jar layer by layer except for the liquid ingredients),then tie the recipe on a hand written or typed card to it with a pretty piece of ribbon. They are cheap,homemade and everybody loves getting them.

I have painted a ceramic tree ornament for every person in the family, and whenever we have a new family member I do one for them too. I have a new niece this year and will be doing one for her too. You can find the ornaments at Wal-Mart or any craft store for under a dollar and buy some acrylic paint. I their name on the back and the year it was done. I really get into it and find it relaxing.

Knitting a scarf and hat would be a good idea for a guy. For a spiritual book I would recommend The Four Agreements. Its not really of a specific religion. Perhaps add details on a specific religion and we could narrow down the options?

Check out www.orientaltrading.com . They have craft kits, but I've taken some of their ideas and made them my own before. Christmas ornaments are always good, or personalized keychains or picture frames. Good luck!

You can make ornaments. make easy shapes like stars or trees holly leaves or harder shapes, depending on your skill level.
I love the cranberry popcord garland on the tree outside for the birds.
