18 Homemade Holiday Gift Exchange Ideas

Christmas· Party Favors

Gift exchanges are a big part of the holiday season. Do you draw names for a family gift exchange? Or maybe there’s a secret Santa exchange at work or a white elephant exchange with friends to buy for. Coming up with fun and clever gift exchange ideas can be tough. It’s hard to be original when there’s so many occasions and people to buy for. One way to be original is to consider making a few homemade gifts for your exchanges this year. We’ve collected 18 of our favorite gift exchange ideas. Most of the ideas consist of DIY-ing and crafting but we picked a few finished gift ideas for those who prefer to buy instead of DIY. Click on the images below to find the full tutorials and websites where these gifts can be found.
