i love crafts too, and im really good with them also...this christmas i actually decided to paint wooden ornaments tht i bought at different art stores...i paint them and glue magnets on the back of them...they really come out great and are very unique and there are many different things u can do with them...the wood crafts were very inexpensive and ive actually been starting to sell them as well as giving them as gifts....before i sell them or give them as gifts i wrap them in bubble wrap and put them in small christmas bags that were also inexpensive, along with a little bit of red and green paper shreds....they are really great, especially if u are on a budget cuz the supplies wont leave u broke! lol...so far ive had good results and hopefully u will 2! good luck!

What kind of craft are you good with? I made a scrapbook for someone's birthday once, the same could be done for Christmas.
There's making chocolates, or making individual stockings, if you can sew/embroider, etc.
Can you knit? Are you in an area where it's Winter during Christmas? Make some scarfs, gloves, hats even.
Other than that, there are plenty of craft sites you could check out, so best of luck to you.

Aside from the typical Cookies, cakes, and Candies, i tried something really different one year.
My mother-in-law loved to decorate for Christmas. I took some foiled Christmas Cards and cut the Scenery out. Then I pasted each on top of a piece of textured letter paper. I bought, (Walmart in craft section), 2 pieces of 8X10solid wood with decorated edges. I stained the wood, burned the edges of the paper behind the picture (my pictures were a solid gold Christmas tree with foil green background, and a solid gold Santa with red foil background) I burned the edges of the paper and pasted them to the pieces of wood. Then I put decoupage paste over the whole thing. I bought some hooks for the back. My mother-in-law loved the set. It was in her home every Christmas thereafter.
You could also use foiled Christmas card pictures and put several different sized borders around them, inside a nice frame. I made two of those for me.
My son made Christmas corsages and ornaments with wire, beads, and ribbons, and tiny ornamental bells and flowers, and actually sold them to make some extra Christmas money one year.
My daughter crocheted footies and mufflers one year for extra Christmas money and to give as gifts.

Im really into crafts too, Last year I made little stars for each one of my friends and family out of a cookable playdough I made. I cut the stars out with a cookie cutter put all the stars on trays,dried them for a day or two in the hot water cupboard the painted them in gold paint, and painted names on each one,dipped the points in glitter and tied a ribbon on each one (through the hole i made in the stars before I cooked them) Everybody loved them!!! They were really personal and took alot of time,I think they liked that too. And every year they can hang them on their trees and think of you :)
Hope this helps ya!
