Handmade Holiday Gift Ideas for Under $10

This post about handmade holiday gift ideas under $10 is brought to you by Dollar General. All opinions are 100% mine.

Ok Halloween is past us now and soon we will be faced with the idea of giving. I love the holidays and being able to say thank you to different service providers, like the UPS and FedEx folks, teachers, sports coaches the list goes one. However, when you complete that list, it adds up so keeping gifts under $10 can be challenging but also necessary. I hit Dollar General for some Holiday Inspiration for Handmade Holiday Gift Ideas.

I was shocked by the number of gift items they had for under $10.

IMG_4165; However, I was looking for more DIY Holiday gift ideas as I think they can be more personal. I found these festive glass jars for under $2 and knew I could make layered cookie mix in the larger one but now to come up with a simple treat to go into the small ones.

 

During the holidays we always get a lot of sweet items, how about something savory and delicious this year? Many years ago I received a tin of Ranch Oyster Crackers so I thought I would make those this year. They mare perfect snacks right out of the jar or they are flavorful on top of soups too.

I picked up everything I needed for these Ranch Oyster Cracker gifts at Dollar General, as well as a few other inexpensive gift ideas.

First make  the oyster crackers, which could not be easier.

Allow them to cool completely before adding them to your jar.

Add a cut tag, I used the card holders that were only $1. I cut the string to fit one jar. I will get 10 tags out of this.

I told you this was simple, cheap and thoughtful at the same time.

I picked up some of these gingerbread candles, only $2.50 to have on hand for hostess gifts etc. Aren’t they cute with the tags too.
