Handmade gifts feel different. Anyone can buy a candle, but a wooden ornament with your friend's name on it? That one stays on the tree for years.
If you own a laser cutter, you have a small gift factory at home. Here are ideas that work, that are not too hard, and that look good when wrapped.
The golden rule: make it personal
A plain wooden shape is nice. The same shape with a name, a date or a small message is a real gift. That is why personalized pieces are so popular. You can use one design and change only the name for each person.

DownloadMake it look professional
The difference between "homemade" and "handmade" is mostly in the details.
- Sand the edges lightly so there is no soot.
- Wipe the surface with a slightly damp cloth.
- Add a finish. A thin clear coat makes the wood look richer.
- Add a hanger. Thin twine or ribbon looks more finished than a plain hole.
- Package it well. A small box with paper filling and a tag looks like a shop product.
Gift boxes and tags
Don't forget the wrapping. A wooden tag with the name is a small extra gift. Small boxes work for jewelry, candy or money.

- Late November: paint, finish and package.
- December: relax, and maybe make a few extras.
